Mitch Marner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, along with businessman Kevin O'Leary and Nick Di Donato, has opened a brand-new restaurant called Blue Bovine Steak and Sushi House.

It started with a casual dinner chat between Nick Di Donato, Kevin O'Leary and Mitch Marner, as they noticed a gap in Toronto's dining scene. With captivating ideas and plans, they imagined a vision that would give the guests a fine dining experience combined with premium cuts of meat. That would also include certified Japanese Kobe beef, a wide range of seafood collections and a sushi program.

Blue Bovine Steak and Sushi House aims to be a destination where guests can indulge in the best of both worlds. Blue Bovine is located at the northeast corner of Union Station, offering breathtaking views of the city.

Moreover, the restaurant also features a massive 1,500-pound bronze bull at the entrance, paying tribute to New York City's iconic "Charging Bull," making for a unique and impressive ambience.

Blue Bovine Steak and Sushi House can accommodate up to 200 guests, making it a perfect spot for gatherings and celebrations.

They have generous opening hours from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., allowing guests to enjoy their delicious offerings during the day and into the late night, especially during game days.

The restaurant will start its dinner service on Feb. 20, and guests can reserve their table online on OpenTable. The dinner services start from Feb. 26.
