I went to Harbour City one friday night with a friend and had a wrap with a side salad and have to say I thought it was very yummy and a good price. My friend ordered steak "without" the blue cheese on it, but it came out with it.....she informed the waiter of this and he appologized and asked if... More

Hello There! Please accept my apology on the wait you describe in your review. This should have been taken under wing by a manager, and long before the timeline you have described! I am happy to hear that you were somewhat compensated, and have to let you know that in no way shape or form, are more expensive meals given... More

The selection of food was amazing! Hot meats, eggs, french toast, cheeses, smoked salmon, freshly prepared fruits (not just from a jar) yogurt, cottage cheese, cold cereals, fresh orange juice, pastries, coffee.....the list goes on. I also like that there were different items each day. Fabulous feast!

This Restaurant was recommendated to us, so we had a try. The environment was nice, the service quick and polite, but when we got our meals, soup of the day, Lasagne and a seafood chowder, the disappointment, was great. The soup and chowder, was only warm and the taste was boring. The bread beside it was old and hard. The... More

Hello! Ouch! This one hurt, and we're still trying to figure out why, when so many of our customers come "just for your chowder", and "love our selection of breads in the bread service". The lasagne, as you say, did not have any meat in it because it is Vegetarian, and described as such on the menu. We're so sorry... More

I found the service pleasant but extremely slow. I ordered the salmon dish,which was quite tasty once it finally arrived. The waitress did return to my table after a lengthy delay to inform me that she had not forgotten about me but there was a large party in the restaurant,which slowed down the kitchen. I was advised my meal would... More

I have ate at many restaurants across the country, and this is by far the best one! We ate here first in February 2009 for Valentines day, and it was amazing. Then, our second time was on New Years Eve 2012/2013. We bought a package through the Delta hotel that included a 5 course dinner at the restaurant, and then... More

Had a good meal - halibut was wonderful, crab cakes were a little rubbery but we forgave them because the chefs deleted a taste of something from heaven - a spicy, crispy wonton stuffed with pulled pork! Could have had 10 of them - excellent!c

After a not-so-good first try, I recently went back to Harbour City for a birthday dinner with 3 friends. I'm happy to say the service this time was much better, excellent in fact, and the food was too. Our appetizers (mussels, crab cakes, and especially the goat cheese crostini) were all tasty and came out quickly after a fantastic amuse... More
