Let me start out with how impressed I am with their phone-in waiting list!!!
Thats right people. Finally a place in Calgary that will let you call ahead, ask how long the wait is, and put your name on the list to get a text when your table will be ready in 5min. The hostess clearly stated to me that we needed to respond to the text and if we were delayed the next people in line would get a table but we wouldn't loose our spot. Amazing! Thank you for not making me stand in the entrance of a breakfast spot blocking it for everyone else - if nothing else but this I will definitely go back.
Now this is not an area I normally get to for eating but as a friend lives up there it all worked - happy to have options out of the norm places that serve breakfast.
I had the Oscar Benny - thick cut ham, wild mushrooms, great garlic hollandaise and added spinach (not an issue at all). Instead of english muffin they used 1/2 of their mini belgium waffles for each egg. Really nice spin on the regular, they were nice and soft yet held up to the yolk. My friend tried the bacon benny - had a taste and equally as good.
The boyfriend decided to try the chicken & waffles. Now as he hates maple he didn't have the sauce so no idea how that tasted. Unfortunately he also didn't realise the waffles had maple syrup in the batter (not indicated in the waffle description so not really his fault there). Admittedly he got over that and even he admitted the waffles were good.
Now were there could be improvement on the dish is definitely in the flavours they use in the coating on the chicken. It was crisp and chicken moist but the coating really didn't taste too much of anything. Not expecting Colonel Saunders style flavours but literally couldn't taste a space. Feel like if he had the sauce with the chicken we may never have noticed but this is definitely something the kitchen to improve on.
Couple of interesting twists on the beverage options too which was nice to see. Food came much quicker than expected seeing how busy they were - think it was 15min after we ordered. Service was fast and attentive. Plus they have those really cute little ketchup bottels working in their favour too.
Will we be back? Yes
Do I think they are doing an amazing job for being open 2 months? Yes
Keep it up guys, its fantastic to get breakfast boutique food in the middle of NW suburbia!
