Grenadier Cafe does have one BIG thing going for it. Location! A beautiful big patio with a fantastic view in High Park.
I've been here a few times. It's good, but not great. Although they do something spectacular to the bacon that comes with the breakfast. I don't know what it is, but it's friggin' delicious! Everything else is average. I could give this place 3 stars if the service was better. The sure do take their sweet time to serve you.
Part of the restaurant is cafeteria style. You order at the counter, they give you a number for your table, you go find a spot to sit and they come find you when your food is ready. One time when we ordered breakfast it actually came pretty quickly. But i did have to hunt down a waitress to re-fill the water in my teapot. After they give you the food, they kind of just forget about you.
The other section of the restaurant is the normal waiter served area. There is also a patio for that section too. I've been on that side of things a couple times and it took FOREVER for my order to be taken. When I finally got my food, my friends food didn't come. We thought it would be out in a minute. Nope. The waitress forgot to place that order. So we had to wait again... I was practically done before my friend got their meal. And again, the food was okay, but nothing great. I'll probably give Grenadier Cafe another shot, in hopes that i can improve my review. We'll see....
