| - Driving down to High Park to check out the cherry blossoms on a beautiful spring day, we decided to stop somewhere close by with a patio and drink a cold one. This restaurant came up in our search on Yelp so we stopped in. We arrived at 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon, which unbeknownst to us is closing time. They let us know that we could come in but we would need to order quickly from the kitchen as they were closing down. We didn't realize that it was only a brunch menu, but two of us ordered quickly while the other two did not want to be rushed and just ordered drinks. The menu for the patio was on a chalkboard on the wall, and so you didn't have an opportunity to really read through the options and see what you were ordering. My friend ordered bread pudding, and I ordered the farm burger. When our food arrived, her bread pudding looked like french toast and she said it was delicious. My burger arrived with an amazing colourful salad and a giant egg sliding on and off the burger. The food was really good, and the staff were very nice. All of the food is locally sourced, and specifically from Ontario which I can appreciate. The prices are a bit on the higher end, ($20 for a burger) but it was good food. I didn't like that you couldn't read a menu in advance, and it was confusing that they were shutting down for 2 hours (between 3:00 - 5:00) to prep for the dinner crowd. Apparently they have a sister restaurant down the street that would be open during 3 - 5, so I'm not sure why they didn't send us there. By the time we arrived as well, quite a few things were crossed out on the brunch menu as they had run out, so I guess Sundays are a busy time for them.
I would recommend, but I don't know if I would return, unless I was in the area again.
