| - Lovely atmosphere, modern curved wood interior- akin to the Gehry staircase inside the AGO. We had brunch, my 70 yr old parents and I (38). Most people there were in early to mid thirties. Good acoustics for conversation, piped music was jazz standards, food was good. I had the smoked salmon Benny. Perfectly made Hollandaise, poached eggs to perfection.... Cheese scone that it was served on was tasty but heavy and maybe wrong pairing with the lighter eggs/fish combo. My meal could have been hotter... Perhaps the kitchen had a timing issue.
The beef brisket hash with sweet corn salsa was enjoyed by my Mom, the chicken & buttermilk waffle by my dad. The Brisket seemed filling and enjoyed, the chicken & waffle didn't seem large enough, so I gave one of my cheese scones from under the poached eggs to my Dad.
The service was 9/10, super friendly, warm and sincere. Just would have liked coffee and tea water refills without having to ask...
The alcoholic drink menu looks amazing, I will have to return for an afternoon, evening with some friends to enjoy those!
Overall, a refreshing change for Brunch- not noisy chaos like most of TO's brunch joints.
