My experience of the Harbord Room is nothing short of awesome! I have been here by myself, during a business trip to Toronto. I researched a little and found this restaurant on several sites, it's never at the top spot but I thought it could have been a good pick. Well my instinct was wrong... It's not good, it's AWESOME!
Let's start with the drink menu, a good choice of original cocktails, I have tried one and it was sublime. The bar-lady was soooo great and watching her making the drinks was a real spectacle in itself.
I had the burgher then. Heavenly. Cooked to perfection, they bread was simply great, hand-cut chips were great too. Probably one of the best I have had in my life.
I then went for the Brownbutter cake, here maybe they did not touch the same level of greatness as the rest of the meal, but it was a very good cake nonetheless.
Add in impeccable and friendly service and you've got a recipe for awesomeness!
Will surely come back if I am in town!
