| - Went for brunch today and based on reviews and how busy the place was, I expected great things, but I received pancakes that were anything but tender, and to call them blueberry pancakes was insulting... they were plain pancakes with a handful of blueberries thrown on the plate!
Hubby had the Crab Cake Benny, which was ok, but not much hollandaise, and the crab cake was a bit fishy tasting.
The most insulting part of the meal was that I ordered sausage to have with my pancakes... it was the kind of sausage you would get from a hot dog cart... nothing like a breakfast sausage!
The waitress was friendly, but took a while to get coffee refills.
After having brunch last week at The House on Parliament which was fantastic, I doubt we will be back to Fire on the East Side for Brunch, nor dinner.
I was originally going to try and go back for dinner for the Fried Chicken, but reading that it is a cutlet killed that idea... I keep searching for real authentic southern fried chicken... I have found it as far north as Saratoga Springs New York, but seems not in Canada.
Oh well, we have poutine!
PS - I realize it was free, so I shouldn't complain, but the banana bread they brought to the table before the meal was terribly dry and did not taste like bananas... more cinnamon taste than anything, but I guess because I make a mean banana bread, I am a tough critic!
:P
