   It was a very nice experience for a girls afternoon out. Highly recommended it. It was very classy but comfortable

   Great service and great food, big plates too. The only complaint is the noise, but it's a big open place so it is expected.

   Great place for a romantic dinner for two. Celebrated my birthday there with my husband. Service was wonderful and I was treated to a cheesecake for dessert. Highly recommend!

   We booked a breakfast for the harvest room and they stuck us in the bar where it was noisy. The bartender was opening the bar, making all kinds of noice, banging glasses, and smashing ice. We had several other tables at the same time and were also complaining about booking the harvest room and being placed in a bar

   We decided to have dinner at the Fairmont Harvest Room, expecting a high-quality experience given the price point. While it wasn't the most expensive meal, it was still on the higher end. Service & Atmosphere First, I have to acknowledge Jonathan and his entire team - they were fantastic. The wait staff provided excellent service, and if it weren't for them, this review would be far worse. However, the evening started on a strange note. Guests were asked to line up outside the restaurant, and despite the scheduled opening time, they didn't open the doors for another 15 minutes. Once inside, we were escorted to our table, but the experience only went downhill from there. The Food We opted for the six-course meal with a wine pairing, and unfortunately, the food was incredibly disappointing: - Temperature Issues: Several plates arrived half-cold, which was unacceptable given the setting. - Quality of Ingredients: The ingredients used seemed cheap and low-quality, which was surprising for a Fairmont restaurant. -The Meat (Beef... or Horse?): The dish presented as beef was bizarre - I genuinely suspect it may have been horse. The exterior tasted like charcoal, while the inside was raw, except for the outer edges, which were so overcooked they couldn't be cut. - The "Potato": I'm not even certain it was a potato, but whatever it was, it was ice cold. - Amuse-Bouche Disaster: A macaron stuffed with foie gras - truly confusing and unpleasant combination. - Salad: Finally, something delicious! This was one of the few bright spots in the meal. - Beetroot Soup: This was nothing more than a bowl of Campbell's tomato soup. - Dessert: It tasted store-bought likely from Safeway. Wine Pairing - A Complete Letdown For a meal at this price point, I expected thoughtful wine pairings to elevate the experience. Instead, they chose the absolute cheapest wines available, barely a step above box wine. The selections were uninspired, low-quality, and did nothing to complement the di

    We enjoyed for the third time our Valentines breakfast at the Harvest Room. The food was delicious as always. The service and ambiente is amazing. We highly recommend the Harvest Room for special occasions and just to enjoy.
