| - We first visited on Friday last week... actually, I visited a bunch of times before they finally opened for business and proceeded to delay returning for over a year. I don't know, I been busy. I turned left onto St. Clair with a PLAN... about eight blocks later K says Hey, what about going to that Emma's place for breakfast... clever me gets to smile evil again and say Okay....
Sunny day and no line up, in we go. We get menus and order coffee, which arrives and is good. I notice that the menu has the current date on the corner...hmmm, a fresh sheet in a breakfast joint. This is a good sign.
Are those donuts? (of course they are, what else would make you ask Are those donuts? but donuts?) Very pleasantly proportioned donuts. And a whole bunch of other fresh baked things... Second good sign, they bake their own.
House made Sage & Onion sausage... seriously? House cured bacon? Enough already, I'm convinced. This place has won me over and I have yet to even order. Why are you still reading this review? Go now and eat. I'll wait.
Welcome back. Did you see the table the cops were eating at? No? Have a close look. It's just under the shelf between the doors to the restrooms... pretty funny, right? I asked the server if she sat them there on purpose and she got a horrified look on her face as she realised what I was referring to...
So I had the basic breakfast, eggs scrambled and sausage, rye toast. My eggs were about the best I have had and the sausage is amazing... I ate my breakfast without hot sauce for the first time in a long time, and that include my own cooking... so, it's a good breakfast. K had the breakfast sandwhich, on the biscuit with more cheese than is allowed and bacon every bit as good as the sausage.
We have a friend coming in for one day on the weekend form Out West and we ask about Sunday opening... the reply is affirmative and we get handed the brunch menu to peruse... it's a good one, no doubt.
We went back on Sunday, Out-of-Towner in tow and had a great breakfast. They both had I Know What You Did Last Night Burgers, which was totally appropriate as they were both very hungover... K let me taste hers and for the first time ever I wanted so badly to be hungover and eating my own I Know What You Did Last Night Burger. The burger is made with the S&O Sausage AND comes with BACON and a dose of happy big enough to wash away the sins of the night before. I made do with another amazing breakfast, this time with bacon and a biscuit. Glorious way to start the day.
A highlight for me was our server, who was attentive, funny and totally right on. When she took our drink order, we told her we were ready to order. She told us that she had a table ahead of us who were ready to order and she would take theirs and be right back. Having been that other table (at other restaurants, let me be clear) I cannot begin to tell you how cool this was. She did the right thing then and in fact throughout the meal, and that tells me that this place is special. Truth be told, every person we interacted with on both visits was great, outgoing and clearly happy to be where they were. Great food, great vibe.
