JACOBS & CO STEAKHOUSE
About Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse:
Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse is a landmark dining destination in downtown Toronto, renowned for its exceptional service, premium cuts, and refined ambiance. In 2025, Jacobs was recognized among the Top 100 Steakhouses in the World, a testament to its global culinary stature. The restaurant opened a stunning new flagship location at CIBC Square, continuing its legacy of elevated dining with thoughtfully curated interiors and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Project Scope: Complete Lighting Partner
Ideoli was honored to be selected as the exclusive lighting partner for Jacobs’ new chapter. Our involvement extended well beyond custom fixture design — we provided full lighting specification, procurement, manufacturing, and global distribution for the entire restaurant space.
This End-to-End Delivery Included:
- Coordination and execution of custom feature lighting
- Management of full specification packages, including decorative and architectural lighting
- Global sourcing, compliance, and logistics, ensuring seamless delivery and installation
We worked closely with an exceptional team, including Mulvey & Banani Lighting and the award-winning interior designers at The Design Agency, to ensure every detail reflected Jacobs’ timeless sophistication.
Key Achievements & Design Highlights:
Each element was tailored to enhance the sensory experience without overpowering the space — creating layers of warmth, texture, and quiet drama. Custom Wall Sconces: Vintage-inspired with modern detailing to accent private dining zones. Warm Table Lamps: Soft alabaster-style glow for intimate table settings. Geometric Brass Chandelier: A striking centerpiece that echoes the restaurant’s refined geometry and elevated material palette.
Execution & Collaboration:
Working closely with the ownership team, including Peter and Gus, Ideoli delivered a lighting package that complemented the rich interiors and elevated the guest experience. The seamless collaboration between Ideoli, the design and lighting consultants, and the construction teams ensured a smooth process from design through installation.
Impact:
The result is a dining environment that matches Jacobs’ global reputation: elegant, intimate, and visually unforgettable. Our integrated lighting solution reinforced Jacobs’ brand as not just one of Toronto’s finest — but now, one of the world’s most celebrated steakhouses.
This project is a prime example of Ideoli’s ability to execute high-end hospitality lighting at a global standard, managing design, logistics, and delivery under one roof to bring a vision to life — beautifully and flawlessly.
