The Harbord House is an old haunt and tradition for us - countless get togethers and holiday events. We just love the new location, and all the work John, Rachel, Matt and the team put in to make us all feel at home. Great for our work crowd but also drinks and dinners with friends. The patio is roomy and bright, and the food always keeps us surprised! Love the meatloaf, it is the stuff of legends. Love having options for our salads. Love new items like Saltimbocca. Keep it coming please! And Thank You!
Cute little place. Definitely a good place to bring someone who is looking for something familiar. Best way I could describe this place is, they do regular food with reasonable care. No bells and whistles or flavour of the month ingredients. You could bring your grandparents here for sure. Really nice roof top patio. Decent service. I had the burger, it was alright. Made fresh. The desert was good. Would have preferred it with ice cream instead of whip cream, but I thought it was ok.
I had passed this restaurant many times thinking that it was a really small restaurant. I always heard good things about their food so I knew I'd try it one day but I didn't know what to expect. The day I decided to finally go, I took some family there. We were pleasantly surprised when we were asked if we would like to sit on the rooftop patio. When we went up, I realized it was a hidden gem!! We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch in the sun, surrounded by trees. :)
I went there for a brunch and took the eggs Benedict. The food took over 45 minutes to arrive. The server didn’t let us know it would take so long to arrive. When the food arrived it was cold. It didn’t taste good at all, there was barely any Dutch sauce on the eggs. The amount of food was very disappointing too, I was still hungry after eating. The service was very so so. Overall disappointing experience. Would not recommend.
Tried to have a special Mother's Day Brunch for my wife but despite it not being crowded, we waited 70 minutes for our meals, my wife's meal was wrong so hers came at the 80 minute mark, and in the entire time we were there the server never looked at us, came to the table to ask if we wanted more water or other drinks or food, and then walked by us four times without a glance when we tried to grab her attention for the bill. On top of that, I think my wife got sick from her meal.
Delicious food, great beer, wine and cider, fabulous rooftop and service. Neighbourhood favourite.
April 17th — We were enjoying delicious fried pita chips with cauliflower cheese ale dip appetizer when server brought our main course about 20 minutes too early. I’m a vegetarian and usually go with mac n’ cheese, pretty good most of the time. Wanted a change — server recommended veggie burger, said it was like delicious veggie meatloaf special a couple months ago, never apparently to be repeated despite several requests. No it wasn’t. Fries were good, that’s it. Food is generally better than service people who seem very untrained.
Food was very lackluster overall. Service was 5/5, super nice and helpful folks. Ambience was 4.5/5, really chill and relaxed and nice and god distancing. The nicoise was NOT a nicoise and my tacos did not have enough bite to them. We were underwhelmed. The cocktails were probably the highlight.
Had french onion soup and shared the buffalo shrimp for appetizers! Both delicious, french onion soup was a bit too salty, but it was my first time trying this kind of soup so maybe it's supposed to be?!Had meatloaf for main, amazing!Was already so full, so shared the sticky toffee pudding. It was soo sooo good
Only posting this review because I need to give a huge shoutout to Gillian! Gillian is so amazing, super friendly, and professional. Harbord House is extremely lucky to have an employee like her!
