Harbour 60 Toronto
2024 Mar 22
I went to Harbor 60 a number of years ago for a Christmas party with work and we had a really good time. The atmosphere was really nice and we were in the private room and the food was excellent.
I went back very recently just to share a dessert and a drink with a coworker. The dessert shown on the picture is the Baked Alaska For Two, which was delicious although super sweet. The flambe of the dessert which gives this darker color to the meringue was quite the show and really gave it a nice little touch. That was a $26 dessert, which for two is actually reasonable.
Now here's the reason why I'm not giving a five-star across the board for my experience. I had ordered a beer as I am a beer drinker myself. I ordered a Guinness which was your regular tall can, since they don't serve beer on tap. That regular can was $12 (gasp). The waitress brought the can and a cone shaped type of glass as shown in the picture, which I pointed out as not being the right type of glass for that beer. Now this might sound a little snobby but when you come to such an upscale place where the New York strip steak is at $102, you would expect the beer to be served in the proper type of glass (at least that was *my* expectation and I think that's reasonable). That's the reason why service only gets four stars out of five, even though our waitress was really helpful. To management: please get proper beer glasses, that would really help with the fact that you only serve beers in cans...
A great experience nonetheless I would recommend you try it out but do keep in mind that it will definitely be on the higher end of your budget.
Note: when I checked the website, a background upbeat music loaded right away and I was unable to turn it off except by closing the browser window... beware if you browse at work! :)

I ordered via the TooGoodToGo app and got some good food in descent quantities. Lots of rice (to be expected) but also a number of pieces of meat. Food was fresh and (still!) good, although not admittedly it wasn't the best Indian I've had. Service was good, and the place offers a number of dishes and specials as shown on the picture. I will order from there again.

Good food, good portions and a delicious garlic sauce. A good stop if you're looking for something on-the-go.
Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve
2022 Oct 19
The Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve offers well over 10 kilometers of trails with trees, streams and a rugged terrain at times. Covering all the trails will take you up and down a series of valleys where the streams are running. Trails are well marked, some sections like bridges are boarded; you probably will want to take a picture of the map at the trail head before hitting the ground, and it's easy to take a wrong turn (I did which made my hike significantly longer!!). You can park on a parking lot nearby and hit the trail head from the road just a 2 of minute walking distance on the road.
A very pleasant area to enjoy the fall colors too. Recommended!

Bruce Trail Trailhead
2022 Oct 19
The Bruce Trail offers miles of natural hiking pleasure with amazing sceneries. The pictures attached are when you are going SOUTH from the trail head, towards the Castle Glen Estates. Going on this trail for about 20 minutes, you will reach the Osler/Glen Castle ruins, to then reach the Glen Estate lake. It's quite lovely and a very pleasant and easy hike.
