Harpo's Restaurant

Dinner at Harpos

While leaving the oshawa centre the other week I noticed Harpos accross the street. I always saw the sign but have never gone until recently I decided to call my dad and take him out for dinner. all I can say is that my family and I have been missing out. The food was out standing. I decided to have the speacial of the night, chicken with a portobello mushroom sauce and fresh cooked veg. My husband had the peppercorn steak that was to die for, and my dad throughly enjoyed his filet mignon with a side of lobster. the presentation was fantastic and even better the food was was beyond amazing and full of flavour. we will deffiently be back and i will be telling my friends Harpos is a MUST TRY. the service was great and very friendly. We did wait a short while for food but it was deffiently worth waiting for. I rather wait a little extra for a freshly made gourmet meal..... oh and not to mention as i made last minute plans I didn't have a babysitter for my 6 month old son therefore I brought him to dinner and the atmosphere was great and the staff was very welcoming. thanks Harpos, Sue & Tom

Great Prime Rib

After being told it was an hour and a half wait at the Keg, we thought we would try Harpos. I had the best Prime rib I have had in a long while. My wife had the catch of the day and was very happy. We'll be back!

Horrible!!

We went here for a family party, It was horrible! I would never recommend this place to anyone! First off, The decor was atrocious, and mix matched. Seriously needs to be updated...What does Audrey Hepburn, The Fonz and Jesus have in common?? Apparently Harpo's... Looking at the menu, I was intrigued, I ordered the "Red Snapper" catch of the day. Everyone who ordered off of the feature menu, received very tiny meat portions, over-compensated with vegetables. (and I'm not a big eater at all!) everyone left hungry. All glassware was mismatched even though many people ordered the same drinks, some were served in glasses half the size of others, but all were charged the same $$$. Also, apparently it is additional cost to have a lemon wedge in your iced tea... All food was served on absolutely ridiculously oversized plates and dishes, which looked even more absurd serving these tiny portions. Food quality was horrible, my fish was burnt at the bottom and covered with a really nasty cream sauce. Most other party members were also so disappointed with the low quality of their food it went untouched. If you decide to go to Harpo's (which I highly don't recommend) chose to eat from their regular menu, and not from their over-glorified $30 feature menu. (you'll know about this deal because of the absurd 10 ft by 10 ft sign out front)... Restaurant makeover anyone???

Well Worth The Visit

After a couple of disappointments in other Oshawa restaurants it was nice to find a gem. Service was very good. Waitress was attentive and knew the specials and timed the courses just right. Petit filet mignons were cooked just right. Their three course $30 menu has alot of great selections and won't leave you hungry. All in all a great white tablecloth location in the city.

We went to Harpos for the first time and were so surprised to find a restaurant in Oshawa with such calibre. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was great. We will definetly go back soon :)
