Even though the service here wasn't rude I'm still going to give Eggspectation 1 star since my friend got wretched sick from food poisoning here and it was a complete waste of time and money.
My friend wanted to go to Eggspectation, since she and her husband had such a great experience at a different location around NYE. We were seated quickly and from there the service slowed down a snail's pace. We waited a looooong time to have our orders taken. Our server wasn't intentionally rude but she was clearly overwhelmed and inefficient. We had a birds'-eye view of the kitchen and we could see our orders drying out on the shelves in the kitchen as we waited a ridiculous amount of time for our food. My friend was starving and ended up eating one of the little packets of peanut butter sitting on the jelly caddy.
I got the American, and it was evident that I should have ordered Canadian bacon as my meat because they did NOT know American bacon. The bacon was nasty, it looked like that precooked bacon that buy at the grocery store and reheat in the microwave. Our server initially brought me a wrong order and had to replace it with my correct order. The scrambled eggs were dried out, however the Lyonnaise potatoes were tasty. The pancake I got as a side for $4.50 CAD was a joke, I hated it, it was cold and rubbery and dry.
My friend ordered the French toast side and come on we were around French Canadians, the French toast shouldn't have looked so nasty! She also had the Salmon Benedict...and was deathly sick right after eating it and for the rest of the day. Not awesome.
It. Took. FOREVER AND A DAY to finally get our check and then another day to get to pay out. DO NOT waste your precious tourist dollars and limited time at this nasty place. Too many other food options to go to.
