| - Had an amazing brunch experience here and thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambience, service!
Honesty, I thought this place would have been a pretty average restaurant with overinflated prices because it's in a mall but I was so wrong! Unlike other restaurants, they don't restrict you to a brunch menu on weekends and offer a wide variety on their lunch menu (pot pies, pasta, steak, burgers, sandwiches, soup).
While there aren't a lot of options for their brunch menu, they feature really solid classics like eggs Benedict with their own housemade English muffin. My boyfriend and I ordered:
HOT & SPICY PANCAKES (4/5):
I'm really adventurous with food and can't stay away from really interesting combinations. If you like savory pancakes and like it with a kick, this is worth a try! The hot sauce gives it a spicy tanginess that battles the sweetness of the buttermilk pancakes and maple syrup. I love the smokiness of the applewood bacon and that it was cooked perfectly (not burnt to a crisp). The pancakes were fluffy and not dense. Portions were good for $13.50.
SLOW COOKED PRIME RIB POT PIE (5/5)
Highly recommend this - they only make a limited batch in the morning and only had 2 left when we ordered! This was such a winner for us and definitely the highlight of the meal. The pastry was so buttery and flakey, the meat and potatoes inside were tender and had such rich flavours. It also comes with a side of salad but you can upgrade to truffle fries or sweet potato fries.

Red is such a nice addition to SQ1 - great quality food at fair prices. I'm excited to come by and pick up some of their butter tarts - you can peer in to the kitchen and see the chefs make everything by hand.
