| - I wish I could say I loved this place, but I can't. A group of 7 of us came on a Sunday for brunch, and, consensus said it all - in short, beautiful venue, mediocre food.
But, let me start with the positives. The venue itself is beautiful - it's like you pulled a Narnia and stepped out of the sub-zero temperatures of Toronto and into a bustling Parisian café. Gorgeous décor, large windows for natural lighting, and the little details make the atmosphere here top-quality.
But, the food. The eggs benny was soggy. The brunch buffet, while extravagant in looks, had food items that were, in majority, completely lacklustre in flavour. The varying food items in the chafing dishes that morning were lukewarm and lacked seasoning. In short, it wasn't delicious. It wasn't tasty. It didn't taste as good as it looks. The one food item I actually really enjoyed were the croissants - so light and buttery... but yes, apparently, we paid over $60.00 on brunch so we could munch on croissants.
Yes, the place is pretty. But it's all glitz, no substance. It doesn't make up for the unremarkable food and the price that comes along with it. I wanted to love this place - but the food was really, really disappointing. 3 stars for atmosphere - but that's it.
