| - Before I start, I must begin with the fact that patrons of Harbour Sixty get complimentary valet parking. You know what a pain parking in downtown toronto can be, so this was a nice touch!
THE FOOD:
Ahi Tuna ($25) - a generous portion of tuna that sits on a bed of smoothly mashed avocado, doused with soya sauce and crunchy sesame seeds. A great app!
Rib Eye ($58) - Nice colour on the outside, while still being tender and red on the inside. Flavourwise I thought it was a little over-seasoned.
Creamed Spinach(half portion -$6.50)
Truffle Mac and Cheese(Half Portion -$6.5) -roasted garlic, fresh chillies
I've heard great things about their sides, and I have a feeling I didn't quite order the right ones. Both the Creamed Spinach and Truffle Mac and Cheese were very salty and heavy; making them not-so-great a pairing with a fatty and flavourful steak. I would definitely luck with something lighter next time.
Miso Black Cod($40) - Salty salty salty. Do you get the reoccurring theme yet? Whenever I consume too much sodium I get a weird raw wrinkly feeling on my lips. Almost as if the salt has dehydrated them. I didn't even make it half way through the dish before I had to stop and drink an entire glass of water. And again, the salty sides didn't help with the cause.
Molten Chocolate Cake($14) -Valhrona chocolate, vanilla bean ice cream
I was so excited to order desert because I wanted to finally have something that wasn't entirely sodium. No complaints here, delicious and chocolatey.
THOUGHTS:
For such an upscale restaurant, I think Harbour Sixty leaves me with a lot to be desired. I was wowed by the restaurant setting, but had a different opinion about the food. Nothing was repulsive, but there isn't much to boast about either. And for the price that was paid, I would much rather take my money to Jacobs and Co, where I don't have to guess if I will get lucky with a good menu item, or a good cut of meat.
