Marquee splits its evening between a Main Street steakhouse grill and an upstairs piano lounge, with rooftop patio seating folded in when the weather earns it. The Spring 2026 menu reads as the kitchen's main thesis: an A5 Japanese Wagyu striploin and a sixteen-ounce bone-in ribeye lead the grill list, a Canadian Prime tenderloin finished with Saskatoon berry and Chambord reduction sits lower down, and a Signatures section runs Wild Boar Cavatelli, Duck Confit with rhubarb and pomegranate, Branzino with orange-zest gremolata, and the Marquee Burger off the same kitchen. The dining room runs Wednesday through Saturday only, with Friday and Saturday stretching latest, and the live program lives upstairs.
The grill is the workhorse, but the kitchen earns the price band on the work around it. A Grilled Octopus starter is sauced with tomato-lime-coriander salsa, chimichurri, garlic creme fraiche, and hot sauce — four conditions on one plate, none of them passive. Hamachi Tiradito carries leche de tigre, aji amarillo pearl, and passion fruit. A Brie and Walnut Wellington comes with macerated berry compote and herbed crostini. The Saskatoon berry on the tenderloin and the chimichurri on the octopus are the kind of decisions a kitchen makes when it has stopped treating sauce as garnish. Pastas hold their own corner — Shrimp Fettuccine in white wine rose sauce, Rabbit Ravioli braised in Barolo and finished with honey lavender and hazelnut. The desserts close hard, with a Pavlova carrying mango passionfruit curd and coconut chantilly, a Ruby Cheesecake plated with white-chocolate chantilly and fresh raspberries, and a dark Callebaut ganache with caramelized banana. For the table, Parmesan Frites cook in beef tallow, and Brussels sprouts come with house applewood-smoked bacon.

How to eat at Marquee Steakhouse & Piano Lounge
1
Split the Grill Around A5 Wagyu and Beef Tenderloin
Use the grill section as the centre of the table rather than ordering only one steak. A5 Wagyu Striploin is the high-impact splurge, while Beef Tenderloin brings a more composed plate with Saskatoon berry, Chambord, parsnip, and lotus root. Sharing both makes the premium side of Marquee easier to read.
2
Start With Grilled Octopus Before the Prime Cuts
Grilled Octopus is the cleanest first move when the table is heading toward beef. The tomato-lime-coriander salsa, chimichurri, garlic creme fraiche, and hot sauce give the meal acidity and heat before heavier plates like Bone In Ribeye, Wagyu Ribeye, or New York Striploin.
3
Turn Thursday Fixe Into the Midweek Test Drive
The Thursday Fixe is the best way to sample the kitchen without building a full a la carte splurge. The weekly $78 format includes one appetizer, entree, and dessert, with current examples such as Wild Mushroom Croquette, Branzino, Duck Confit, Braised Beef Cheek, Ruby Cheesecake, and Pavlova.
4
Pair Local Beer or Cocktails With the Lounge Energy
The beverage list has enough specificity to steer the night: Lavender Empress 75 and the Marquee Old Fashioned handle cocktail duty, while Third Moon and Orange Snail give Milton beer a place on the table. This matters most when the room is leaning into live music.
5
Book the Music Night When the Room Matters
Marquee makes the most sense when dinner is meant to feel like the outing, not just the meal before it. Choose a music night for anniversaries, client dinners, or group plans, then keep dessert in play with Pavlova or Ruby Cheesecake so the table has a slower finish.
