Review from Lauren M.
Was treated to a lovely meal at Harbour Sixty this week and I was in complete awe over the menu, the food and the service at this place.
It was a complete sausage fest when we arrived, tables upon tables of mostly businessmen. This is probably just because it was the week leading up to Christmas and everyone was busy getting their holiday parties in.
The interior is kind of old school, reminds me more of a fine dining establishment in Oxford or Cambridge, UK - high vaulted ceilings, dark mahogany, carpeting and large leather chairs. They also had some nice tables with circular booth seatings.
The service here was second to none, honestly. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu, attentive without being annoying, friendly and quite a comedian to boot.
My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I spotted a lobster & mango parfait in the appetizers, two of my favourite things combined! An easy pick. I also tried the blackened cod for my main, which was a daily special. My date had a Greek village salad to start and the bone-in tenderloin steak as a main. We shared some mashed potatoes and asparagus sides.
The food was ridiculous!! and beautifully presented. I stuffed myself silly because it was too good not to finish. The parfait was heaping with big chunks of fresh lobster and my cod was cooked to perfection, flaky and tender.
The wine menu here is one of the most extensive ones I have seen (47 pages!) The maître d' was quick to help with recommendations once asking your general preferences and price range.
Truly a place to dine in style! -

Rarely do I like to spend a lot of money for dinner, but my daughter and her new boyfriend were visiting me at my downtown Toronto condo a couple of weeks ago, and we wanted to eat somewhere special. Joining us were my daughter's boyfriend's friend, and another couple. When I called Harbour Sixty to make a reservation, they were full, but offered us one of the private rooms for our party of six - what a generous offer. So we walked over to the restaurant and were taken to the private room - a gorgeously wooded room lined with expensive bottles of wine and liquor. The waiter made us feel like celebrities, as we ordered appetizers including the grilled calamari and an amazing salad, as well as a plate of olives and feta cheese. For dinner, I had the trout, and my daughter and her boyfriend had the lobster and steak. Everything was delicious and the service was superb. The restrooms are also state of the art - with heated toilet seats that open and close on their own, and also are self-cleaning. Overall, an amazing meal and night to remember. The total bill for 5 was over $600, with wine and beer. OK, it was an exorbitant night for a meal and we won't do it likely again for a long while, but an amazing night to remember.

I enjoyed my experience. We sat in the downstairs private room like atmosphere after a drink at the lively bar. The vaulted ceilings and dark wood gave the perfect private dining club feel. I took a 4 clients to dinner their and having been there before recommended the Ahi Tuna appetizer which being a Tuna fan is one of my favorites because of the sweet savory combo of the appropriately peppered edge paired with the pineapple. I had to get the bone in filet which you do have to ask for since is not on the menu. It was cooked to perfection and so was the Pacetta-wrapped sea scollops which I ordered for the table. This is one of the more impressive wine lists in Toronto if you or who you are taking out are into that.
I will certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to spend a good amount of money for a great steak. -

Amazing. This place alone made me love Toronto. Very cool vibe in the bar area, and the servers are extremely attentive. Great pours of alcohol, well cooked steaks, and a nice choice of appetizers. I really don't think I've been to too many places better than this.

Harbour Sixty has the best steaks/seafood I have ever had. The catch of the day is always fresh/perfect! the steaks are made just the way you like it, and there is a huge selection. I Love the sides that you can choose, it has some unique choices and every one of them is delicious. there is nothing to complain about this place, this is my number one choice whenever I'm downtown.
and best of all, is the desserts!!! the souffle, creme brulee, and my favorite the baked Alaska to share.

Review from Yvonne T.
I have long wanted to dine at Harbour Sixty. Tonight would be that night! After having had a disappointing meal at Kom Jug Yuen Restaurant in Chinatown, we decided to come for dessert as I have heard many rumours about how gastronomically amazing their Coconut Cream Pie was.
I had also heard about the astronomical prices of dining at Harbour Sixty but after having had a cheap meal (in every sense of the word), I was prepared to dole out for something good.
Luckily the kitchen was not closing down early tonight and we managed to nab a table. The restaurant has a nice patio, but it was a bit cool outside so we did not get to enjoy it. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Toronto Port Authority building. The number of windows, and the doors make it feel like you are on a boat of some sort. The decor is old school, and the environment is more suited towards the business crowd than it is for an intimate or romantic dinner. The crowd is also a little bit older, and it is neither a chic nor trendy place to dine. With that said, the service was stellar. We were not treated differently even though we had only intended on ordering dessert. But after perusing the menu, and feeling a bit peckish, we ordered the Foie Gras Poutine to share. At $40 a plate, my expectations were high. Yes I know - I am crazy. I mean who pays $40 for a wee piece of foie gras, and fries covered in cheese and gravy? The answer is - me! Anyone who knows me knows I adore foie gras and cheese. I admit, I also felt guilty for coming in to the restaurant just for dessert which prompted me to order it.
Upon ordering, we were brought a bread basket. They had a raisin and nut bread that was to die for! Bonus? The bread was warm! It came served with black olives, green olives, and feta cheese that was adorned with pickled green chilis. The feta was presented in full block form - not its usual crumbled state. The butter was piped into a tiny serving dish and was extremely spreadable. Yummy bread.The title of best foie gras poutine still belongs to Au Pied de Cochon in Montréal, but Harbour Sixty's comes in at a close second. The fries were thin-cut fries topped with marbled cheese (not curd form), gravy, peppercorns and finally adorned with a slab of foie gras. The foie gras was cooked to a melt-in-your-mouth consistency while I was melting inside with every bite. I really liked the inclusion of peppercorns in the gravy as it really enhanced the overall flavour of the dish without overpowering the cheese and gravy. It may have been overpriced for what it was, but I'm glad I ordered it. I don't know how one could possibly have a main and order this as a side - the portion size was generous to an already heavy side dish. This for me was a meal in and of itself.
At Harbour Sixty, keeping in common practice with upscale dining establishments, sides are not included and are charged separately. The pros are that you can order a few side dishes to sample and share, the con is obviously the added cost. The poutine was the most expensive side dish on the menu. The cheapest rang in at around $9.To finish off the evening, we ordered the Coconut Cream Pie. Anyone who loves coconut, and even those who don't, will fall in love. Their dessert menu is classified in 2 categories: Made Today or Made to Order. The pie fell into the Made Today category. It is served with a side of seasonal berries, a milk chocolate drizzle and shaved white chocolate. It is fluffy on top, but the coconut cream was so amazing I was speechless. You could taste the (fresh) coconut in the pie, none of that coconut flakes nonsense! The pie crust was flaky and also had bits of coconut incorporated into it. This with a cup of their amazing coffee (I dare say it is the best restaurant coffee I've ever had, and I further add that it is better than some of the coffee I've had at artisanal coffee shops). It was a bold coffee that was full-bodied and rich without being bitter. I had mine black, and it was a great accompaniment to dessert. The coffee itself comes with a biscotti and mini cookie. I found both of them to be stale.
Verdict:
Harbour Sixty is not somewhere you would go often because otherwise, you'd have to mortgage your house. The most expensive item on their menu (the Double Porterhouse, which is a double T-bone steak), rings in at $115. They have a generous wine list, and a varied menu. With tax and tip, our bill came to $80.
I definitely give them top marks for food and service. Our water glasses were topped up at frequent intervals, the server was attentive and down-to-earth. When we exited the elevator, we were even surprised to find that the waiter came downstairs to direct us back to the parking lot. I would recommend Harbour Sixty for a milestone birthday, or family occasion but not for a romantic dinner. It definitely lives up to its reputation for good food, and now, also for its stellar service! -
Review from Stephen W.

Our friends came here for Christmas Dinner and we had reserved the Commissioners Room on the second floor. What a great room, perfect for dinner with10 - 15 guests. The girls complained it was a little creepy going to the washroom because of the dark hallway, but nevertheless, we were here for the steak!
Apps/sides:
Olives/Cheese platter
We shared the Seafood Tower which was great (but little overpriced)
Sauteed Brocollini very tasty
Parmesan Truffled Fries - Uhhh... soooo good
Truffled Mac and Cheese
Lobster Mashed Potatoes
Buffalo Mozzarella
Main
The Bone-In Rib Eye was my favorite which was exceptional
Beef Tenderlion was so tender that you didn't need their knife
Desert
N/A sooo full!
I would recommend any of the above... This place is a little pricy so, resist the temptation to ordering everything from the menu :)
Free Valet Parking / Extensive Wine List / Great Service / Model Like Hostesses ; ) -

Food Is great, Service is great, Portions are HUGE.
Must try coconut cream pie and the molten chocolate lava cake... but share, like everything else, its fairly oversized.
While I'm fine with paying the price for good eats, sometime of their over-pricing is a little laughable.

I have eaten at Harbour Sixty 3 different times: once for lunch and twice for dinner. All have been during business trips and I had a pretty fat expenses accounts--this steakhouse is not for the faint of wallet.
The service is superb and the steaks are fantastic. My lunch experience was a hosted gathering; I had about 20 IT guys from the top financial banks and organizations in Toronto there for a round table lunch. We did not have to choose our meals off a pre-fixed menu and I had the prime rib sandwich which as very tender. Everyone was very satisfied with their meals and the staff was great
Both dinners were with colleagues who had just closed big deals and they were celebrating. My timing could not have been better. First dinner visit I had the 10 oz. filet mignon and a ton of starters: the crab cakes rocked!.
The second visit I had the lobster--did not ask the price, but it was huge and tasty. I will say that the wine list is comprehensive but a bit too pricey--I live a little too close to Napa Valley to pay $100 for a mediocre wine.
Other than that--Harbour Sixty was a lovely experience and I would will return. -

I give it 2-Stars simply because of the pricing. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The steak was out of this world and one of the only restaurants in Canada that serves USDA Prime (above AAA).
The wine list is out of control. I think its excessively vast and the markup is in the 300% range, higher than even Scaramouche or Splendido. It was difficult to find any value on this menu.
On the positive side, the 'Vesper' martini is one of the best I've ever had and the service was very good. For my money, try Scaramouche (the Filet there is even better!)Listed in: KD's Toronto Nightlife Guide

Would have given 4 stars if not for the service. The food here was very good, but I experienced a long delay before I got my meal. Other tables seated after us got their food way before we did. As far as the meal, a top notch piece of steak (almost worth the wait) and the sides were very good. Yes, H60 is a touch pricey, but there are some chain steakhouses that charge almost as much. Definately worth the extra $5-10 for the entrees.
The place was on the dressy side, but did not feel stuffy. -

When I walked in the place it made me feel like it was going to wow me and instead it was just another over priced Steak house. Sure the Steaks where of high quality but the presentation was lacking something. I found the cuts where just to big and not as refine as a 5 star Steak House should be.

Posh new rehab glows beautifully with it's neutral palette. The wine list is one of the best in the city (after leaving San Francisco, this is a comforting find.) The bar is a delicious oasis of leather chairs
and top notch service Thanks to Fransico, bartender extraordinar; we loved the Rioja enjoyed with the elegantly savage smoked bacon bar snack-served in silver. We'll be back to the ever swanky Harbour Sixty, as this is our new
cocktail stop before venturing into the evening. Looking to impress? Look no further as this is the spot. Lucky Toronto. -

Harbour is the self-proclaimed better steak house of the area and it shows with a touch of healthy arrogance and the food to back it up.
I had veal osso bucco was super tender, slow cooked to an almost pork roast texture, with delightful bone marrow available inside. My friend had a bone in rib eye that was one large beauty to behold.
The waitresses, bartenders and hostesses were all quite beautiful (and perhaps buxom).
The steaks come sans sides save for a few featured dishes. The wine is where the prices I thought were unreasonable, around $20 a glass+.
The bar area looked a bit more happening and I probably may come back for that bacon app and a drink Christine mentions below. -

My opinion is that this is one of the great steak houses anywhere in the world, and our visit last Saturday didn't disappoint.
It had been well over a year since our last visit, so visions of a somewhat dowdy interior lingered; however, upon entering and seeing the remodel for the first time, we're delighted that the decor lives up to the quality of the food and service. They've sort of created a new category; "contemporary steakhouse." Dark wood, lush patterns, sexy lighting.
A quick shout out to our server, Carmelo, who embodies what every restaurant, anywhere, should strive to provide; friendly, but not obsequious, professional, but not stuffy, knowledgeable, but not pedantic. He rocks, and will definitely be my "requested station" in the future.
As great as the steaks are, and it feels like we tried them all, the sides really made the meal. The corn with chipotle - spicy! - is terrific. We also had mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and creamed spinach. For a starter, try the "Lisa's Salad" which is a mellower version of a Greek salad.
We had a petite fillet, porterhouse, bone in fillet, and bone in ribeye. Every steak was served as requested, from very rare to medium.
The wine list is extensive, and I can't imagine not being able to find something for every taste (though not budget!).
Bottom line: I'm a fan. The only caveat to the experience is you need to know this is not for the faint-of-heart. It is expensive...VERY expensive, but if you're looking for a restaurant that won't disappoint, steaks, seafood, service, and ambiance, go for the gusto. -

Best steak I have ever eaten. 4 of us went, ate in bar. Well worth it - pricey, but excellent food. I ate gnocchi side, some people ate fries, other apps, steak, wine, dessert, etc. The guys also liked the eye-candy servers in the bar. Yum yum.

Food was good - can't justify the price!
No real culinary magic going on in the kitchen - just basic steakhouse cooking. If it were sous vide, or molecular, or innovative then I could see the justification but I'm sure it's just a line cook cranking out steaks. Wine list is outrageous and borders on criminal
Don't think I would return even if I wasn't paying - steak at via allegro is better as is the wine list. If wine not an issue, mortons or ruths Chris is pretty good. -

My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant a while back so the details are a bit fuzzy.
Service was great (not that we'd expect anything less with the price they charge) The porterhouse was enough to probably feed the two of us plus a few of her cousins and still leave all of us on a full stomach, it was enormous. Along with the porterhouse, their crabcakes were also to die for. -

Best steakhouse in Toronto. I was really impressed by the crispy pieces of Canadian Bacon at the bar in lieu of peanuts or some lame bar mix you get everywhere else. The steaks are perfect and the wine/scotch selection was fantastic. When the Yankees are in town its not uncommon to see a few players here afterwards, especially if they played during the day. A-Rod never stays for dessert though, he gets it over at the Brass Rail!!!
