| - I went there on Saturday with my 7 monh old baby son. We had just gone to baby swimming lessons and were tired and hungry. I was looking forward to something special and filling and willing to pay the bit extra I knew it would take. It was 12pm and there was a brunch menu offered. I did have to check with the lady at the checkout counter to see how it worked as it wasn't clear. Even though the sign hanging from the ceiling said 'restaurant' I would call it a cafeteria at best. You order in the middle part next to the desserts, get a number and can pay then or pay later. Then you can find your own beverage and find a table to be delivered your selection.
I ordered the Classic breakfast, as it looked like the most filling and healthy with a choice of bacon or sausage, two eggs, toast, hash browns and fresh fruit salad.
My breakfast was delivered to me and right from the beginning it was an underachievement, I could have done better at home. The presentation was slap dash and the plate was too small. Two eggs fried together as one entity and about 3 millimetres thick. Cheap white bread, two slices, no butter. I asked one of the cooks if they had butter and he had to run around opening and closing fridges to find it. Two thin strips of bacon and some sad looking cubes of fruit skewered on a stick with a sad, brown grape at the end. I ate it, I was starving. My baby was fussy and it wasn't until I was ready to pay that I realized why I was still so hungy, they had forgotten the hash browns. At this point, another lady who had just been given her food went back to tell them they had also forgotten her hash browns. So I wasn't the only one.
For $13.50, this is not an experience I would pay for again. I did tell the girl at the checkout that I didn't think I should pay $13.50 when I didn't get all I had requested and she shaved $1.50 off the price. I also said I knew it wasn't her fault, however, I would not be back. To which she smiled and nodded. Okayeee. Such a shame, I think I will stick to my side of the river in Bridgeland.
