Solid 4.5 stars (still no half star option during the review process).
Saturday, 18 April 2015, 1230, busy. The service was a little slow but both the servers we encountered were very nice, patient, if a bit frazzled, but a smile on their face was to be had.
They brought the requested water and coffee and made sure during the entire meal, neither went below half-full. This, for me, was the sign that this would be a good meal.
Once our server was able to get to our table (again, it was busy and she was working her butt off), the food order was taken quickly. She answered all our questions with a friendly demeanor and explained things clearly.
I got the Bacon Cheddar burger with hash browns which are NOT hash browns but just cut up potatoes (hash browns are shredded and baked/fried). The burger was of ample size with fresh and ample toppings. The potatoes (they call has browns) were so good. These would make good french fries and probably hash browns (shredded) if they wanted. I will be getting an extra order next time. I was so hungry I didn't even think about drinks (other than coffee and water) so I forgot to ask if they have any alcohol. That might have been on the menu but I was focus on food (the table on our left had a burger that looked good). It took about 20 minutes for the food but my friend had ordered a breakfast dish with specially cooked egg order (geek). Next time, I will try a breakfast dish.
I like the vibe of the crowd or maybe it's just how Calgary is.
The location is small and parking is almost always next to impossible (though we got lucky and on a Saturday). I would recommend the LRT (Sunnyside Stationa) which is a 10 minute walk or use the 419 Northbound (Foothills). I cannot remember the other bus that runs down Kensington. Once I see it, I will put it's number in here as well. You could use car2go since they can park almost anywhere without penalty or a taxi.
I read the other reviews that seemed to indicate a rise and fall and a rise again of the establishment. I didn't see it so apparently they have righted the ship. Personally, I think the people that run a business feed off their customers and vice versa. Sorta like the FIFO (first in first out) or GIGO (garbage in garbage out (Walmart), great clientele make a great place.
Summary, if you are in a hurry, go pollute yourself at some fast food joint at the mall or somewhere. However, if you want to relax a bit, take a seat here (try to get the window seat, nice scenery walks by quite often).
