Does anyone know of any local restaurants that focus on fresh, local and healthy ingredients?

Banquet honoring George McLaughlin at The Genosha Hotel, Oshawa

Harry Finer purchased the hotel in 1952, and spared no expense in setting it straight. Finer spent $250,000 to build dining rooms, bars and restaurants and the hotel entertained 20,000 guests annually. Visitors were treated to “walnut panelling, twin beds, radios, telephones, tiled baths and showers, valet and laundry service, and (a) roof garden,” as well as enjoying establishments like Harry’s Hideaway Bar, the Rib Room and one of the country’s first 24-hour coffee shops. The Genosha became “the centrepiece and social hub of downtown Oshawa,” with weddings, conventions and other special occasions held at the hotel says the report. It was also during this time Hwy. 401 was being constructed. The new highway’s existence drew traffic away from Hwy. 2/King Street and reduced the number of visitors coming to the Genosha. Finer sold his interests in the hotel to Stan Edwards in 1977. The new owner spent $200,000 changing the interior and turning the downstairs area into a rock and roll bar called Main Street.

The hotel was sold again in 1981 and went into receivership two years later. Edwards returned to buy it once more. According to the designation report, he was “said to have spent about $750,000 in renovations in ten years of ownership and management.” In 1992 the Genosha became property of 757028 Ontario Ltd. By 1998, The Million Dollar Saloon, a strip club, began operating in the building. A boarding house ran in the hotel as well. “That year (1998), the owners were issued a work order by the municipality for ninety property standard infractions,” reads the report. A 2002 report from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario lists the Genosha as having its liquor licence suspended in the interim for “Public Interest.” Underneath that, another 21-day suspension was issued for selling liquor to an already intoxicated patron and permitting drunkenness. The Million Dollar Saloon was scrubbed from the building in 2003, after the City passed a bylaw declaring the area it occupied as not for nakedness. All residents of the Genosha were vacated from the premises the same year. At this point the property was possessed by the Korea Exchange Bank of Canada. The Genosha was purchased from the bank by Tony Oh in December of 2003.
Ok, so I'm out of the loop or maybe just getting old. Either way, can anyone recommend a local (Oshawa/Durham) pub/restaurant that serves decent food and has some night...
