Count me in when you say a new a brunch place opens up. The Daily has a such a great vibe and design that it just spells awesomeness. The simple touches in decorations and atmosphere make the restaurant so welcoming and fun.
Great decor however does not make up for mediocre food. I have been there twice already with separate group of friends and on both occasions left feeling "meh". Maybe The Daily is shaking off the "morning jitters" and needs to get into the groove of things but so far the food was just alright.
I have tried the breakfast poutine, pain perdu, eggs benedict, pancake tower, breakfast tempura. The best thing out of the things we've ordered was definitely the pain perdu. The pancake tower was the biggest disappointment, the pancakes were thin and and when you are paying that price it becomes hard to justify.
The Daily is a great addition to the neighborhood but hoping it shakes off the kinks.
