Mod meets steak at MEATing.

Steakhouse Dining Gets A New Vibe
From the masterminds at Eatertainment Special Events & Catering (Panorama and Bloor Street Diner) comes MEATing, a chic, urban take on the traditional steakhouse with space that makes an easy transformation for private and semi-private events. Located in the Yonge and Eglinton corridor, the restaurant is a study in sleek, airy casualness, with leather-wrapped bar, funky eye-popping lime-cushioned furniture and irreverent antler chandeliers

Classic steakhouse fare also enjoys a modern twist with a range of tame, game or organic meats cooked North American-style (barbecued) or Euro-style (marinated in olive oil and seasonings). Along with other mouthwatering offerings, and with Executive Chef Sean Simons (formerly of Morton's, The Steakhouse) at the helm, the menu is definitely client-schmooze worthy!

Capacity: 80 for seated functions; 140 for cocktail receptions.
