| - I've moved to the Bathurst/St. Clair area and stumbled upon Harry's while scouring the neighbourhood for a new "local". It looked intriguing, and so I ventured in to grab a late-night-bite, but the kitchen had closed at 10pm. I think that was a Thursday or Friday, and maybe I'm a night owl, but I think a restaurant should offer even a limited late night menu?
Undaunted, I actually went back the next night, and the experience was quite favourable. Service was great, professional and friendly but not overbearing. The house manager came by once to check on us, which was a nice touch. I mentioned possibly having a limited late night menu, and he sounded attentive (but we'll see!). I went with the feature, which was seared Black Cod on a bed of fennel, with rice. I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but this dish really worked. The piece of cod was larger than expected, and cooked perfectly, which given how thick the cut was, I was really impressed. I ate my entire fennel - a compliment for sure. My girlfriend had the Woodland Mushroom Tortellini and gave it thumbs up. I had a bite, pasta was cooked nicely and sure it was pretty darn good, but at nearly $18 for non-protein pasta, it seemed a bit steep. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the Black Cod was only about $25, especially since the server told me that it had been taken off the menu b/c it was so expensive. I hadn't asked how much the feature was, so I began to worry I was into a $35 main.
We skipped appetizers in favour of martinis, and in lieu of dessert I had a scotch. We left saying we'd definitely be back. Interestingly, I ended up there a few nights later for a small social drop in for a charity I volunteer with. They had set us up in the back room with some high top tables and a few appetizers - pizza, sliders and calamari. Pizza was good (Fire Roasted Tomato), although by the time I got at it, it had been out a while. The sliders though were great, I find that often sliders are overcooked (since they are so small) but these were medium well, juicy and made a great impression on me. I would almost never order sliders, but I would certainly do so at Harry's. The other thing that impressed me on this night was the fact that the servers dedicated to our group were so accommodating (personal bills/tabs for all 20 of us) and attentive. Sometimes servers seem annoyed by larger groups, but not this time, and it definitely solidified my good opinion of this place.
