What I love about Harbord Room is that they create the perfect combination of atmosphere plus fantastic fresh, seasonal, local food, good wine, and great cocktails. It is cozy and not pretentious. Prices are comparable to similar restaurants in Toronto and New York. They are also open late serving food until midnight on the weekends which is nice, and not that common in the neighborhood. In the summer they have a great patio which provides much more space, but I haven't had the chance to sit there yet. Although I've only lived here for 3 months, I'd have to say that Harbord Room may be my favorite restaurant in TO because they just master the whole experience.
