Quite a disappointment! We went there on an early Saturday morning.
The good: Place is huge! Have good outside seating area. Decor is great. Got our plates barely 10 minutes after ordering.
The bad: Oh boy, where do I start? Benches are uncomfortable. Chairs weight a ton when trying to pull them out. Waiter was very arrogant. No fill-up on coffee (another waitress from another section had to go out of their way to come over and fill it up). When paying debit, machine does NOT give you a choice than a minimum of an 18% tip. Cannot put the standard 15% (which shows where the place's real intentions are, getting your money).
The food: On four orders, only mine was passable. Two out of four plates were cold. The other two were warm (not hot). Mirror eggs were cooked through, so yolk was NOT runny. Toasts were shoved into the basket holding them. Omelette was cold. Bacon way overcooked (even for overcooked bacon). Maple syrup not even real maple syrup (probably corn syrup). Smoothies not that good. In resume, looks great in a picture, but the food is bad and disappointing, and cold (which is REALLY odd for a plate that came out so quickly, which questions if this is not simple reheating).
The bathrooms: Very small and almost impossible to walk around in if you are more than one person. If you measure more than six feet, you will hit your head! Place is dirty. Mould on toilet brush (clearly exposed). Graffitis on wall. Office trashcans in bathroom.
This is very sad as I had great expectations for this place but was truly disappointed. And add to that an arrogant waiter that did not care about us and that we were obligated to give an 18% tip anyway? Even worse.
Why can't we find a decent breakfast place in downtown Montreal?
