| - Let's get the obvious out of the way, it is absurdly expensive. Not expensive .... EXPENSIVE. Sort of make up a number expensive. Two steaks, one app, two glasses of wine, two drinks and one dessert hit us $360 including tax and tip. If you've read my other reviews you know there must be a catch, and ther eis, we had a considerable gift card for our 10th wedding anniversary so this meal set us back the equivalent of a visit to Cora's.
Now in saying all that, i will say that i do far prefer an expensive steak house to an expensive fine dining establishment. From what I saw here the food was not too creative and the portions were good enough to avoid a side trip to McDonalds on the way home (looking at you Buca).
We chose to sit on the patio which was a mistake, music was too loud and the highway is right there. Ambiance was "well dressed but not pretentious" though if you're not driving a German SUV or Italian Coupe, your car is going to look out of sorts in the valet area. No idea what it wa slike in the dining room though, I would certainly recommend a jacket for the gents. Ladies just turn up half naked and you'll fit right in.
Steaks were bang on, my rib steak was a little too heavily marbled for my taste but others may disagree. It was gluttonous, delicious and weighed more than my own head. Have been to Gibby's and Cote de Chevalle in Montreal and to be frank i think Harbour 60 makes the best steak.
App was solid, as was dessert and sides but the mains are the stars here.
Service was attentive but not overbearing, did an outstanding job of explaining the menu and offering guidance on portion size.
If you have a major milestone coming up, maybe forgo gifts and treat yourself, it's probably worth it.
