Harbour Diner Disappointment

Turkey dinner meat was good but roasted potatoe wedges were not all cooked and stuffing was partially raw - nothing was done to alleviate this; water service was poor; pies were good but could not get simple orders correct and were all mixed up; chocolate pear dessert was soggy; fish and chips not battered so more like poached fish and fish and chip salad was very spicy and not a 'green' salad so not sure what was eaten; Prime rib was good and generous portion; broccoli was hard. Probably won't go again, may give breakfast a try sometime but in no hurry. Building not easily accessible, nor are washrooms. Leftovers are wrapped in fun foil shapes for patrons to take home.

TODAY WAS OUR FIRST VISIT & OUR LAST VISIT!

My husband & I visited the Harbor Diner this evening for dinner, after reviewing their on-line menu. I ordered a Rueben Sandwich - came toasted with Coleslaw/pickle. My husband ordered Rigatoni - came with side of bread. As we were waiting for our meals, the man seated at the table next to us pulled a nice long hair (6" at least) out of his entree!! My "toasted" Rueben was as wet as any dish rag (I could not eat the bread only the inside). To make matters worse, the coleslaw was actually warm - yuk. My husband's Rigatoni had what appeared to be a whole jar of green whole olives throughout the dish. He was not impressed by this. Needless to say....we will not be returning.

Down hill big time

Having dined there about a dozen times since they opened but not for about a year, I was anxious to take a friend (a chef) from Toronto to a place I had loved. Horrors to say the least. The wonderfully fragrant, deliciously tasty, vibrantly flavoured fare previously here is no more. Since Chris, the owner/chef, left to open another establishment, the above qualities have gone with him. My meal (escargot, roasted chicken pasta dish) was bland beyond description. My friend's nachos app. was excellent but the lamb shank was unsavory, the vegetables tasteless. When faced with our criticism, our server who was friendly and efficient acknowledged that "different chefs...etc." The prices are still low for the menu items offered but the quality has suffered to the point that this restaurant is a faint shadow of its tasty self. Pity.

If you like good food, GO ELSEWHERE!!!

So I had the lobster mac & cheese, it was DISGUSTING!!!! Tasted as if they use kraft dinner mix or something, not to mention the crab and lobster tasted as if it was frozen then thawed then frozen again, etc. They say that they use "fresh and local ingredients" HA I highly doubt that. Even if I were paid to return I wouldn't.

Best Breakfast in the City!

Excellent food, every time. The breakfast specials on the weekend are always excellent. Why yes I would love some lobster on my eggs benedict! Even the standard menu items are awesome. Great homefries, perfectly done eggs, cute kitschy atmosphere. Complimentary coffee/hot cider when there's a wait is also a great bonus Keep it up!
