Did I go to the same restaurant as everyone else? My boyfriend and I had heard great things: best eggs benny in Toronto, worth the wait, etc. so we decided to check it out for brunch. Waited about 30 minutes in line (from what I've heard on a nicer Sunday you would wait about an hour) for a table by the door (cold! But a full house in a diner-style place, so forgivable).
Ordered drip coffee and the famous brie avocado eggs benedict. Drip coffee was pretty bad (burnt). Eggs in the eggs benedict were overcooked and near solid yolks for both myself and my boyfriend's meal. The side salad was, equally unfortunately, made with old lettuce and spinach leaves.
Staff were nice and you could tell they were scrambling because of the crowds. Waited a bit long for coffee refills but not as big of a deal as the disappointing food.
I'm just confused because we had heard such amazing things about this place and the line is always out the door! Maybe just hype?
