Harbour Sixty

My favorite~ Harbour Sixty
This tastefully restored 1917 property offers a room for every mood—an opulent yet romantic dining space, a lounge complete with marble bar, and an open kitchen gallery for the culinarily curious. So, too, the wine list: a far-reaching, leather-bound tome of bottlings and liqueurs that covers all the bases, with plenty of choice for big spenders, including a bottle of Fonseca Vintage 1963 port ($2,000). Appetizers set the tone with bold assemblies, simply prepared. The pleasant saltiness of a light, greaseless batter acts as counterpoint to a sweet tomato-caper topping over well-timed calamari rings ($12.95). More delicate but well balanced is a salad of lobster and mango served in a martini glass ($26.95)—the epitome of freshness. The short, succinct list of main courses keeps to the kitchen’s strengths. Ten-ounce filet (all steaks USDA prime), as bouncy and round as a softball, could not be more tender ($39.95). Less yielding but equally impressive is New York strip loin (16 ounces $47.95), its slight marbling contributing generous depth of flavour. A confident, practised server warns against large-portioned classic side dishes ($6.95– $10.95)—from wonderfully crunchy matchstick frites to garlic-heavy, unevenly sautéed broccolini. Gild the sugar lily with molten chocolate cake or embrace that inner child with just-right arborio rice pudding (both $10).
