| - Technically we flew to Montreal for dinner, but as it turns out this brunch was the star of the show (ok, both meals were epic, but this place surprised me).
My fiance was in charge of planning the trip and found this spot online had good reviews and oysters, so he was sold, and made a reservation for 11am on the Sunday. Turns out it was only their second Sunday doing their brunch menu, so I was pleased to be ahead of the crowd lol.
We ended up wandering in at 10:30am right when they opened and were seated immediately, since we were the first customers of the day. Others did arrive soon after 11am, but it never got that packed, I assume because brunch is new for them.
Two things to note first - the staff was amazing, super friendly, helpful, appeared at all the right times, and the ambiance was great. Definitely my decor style!
For food, we opted to start with a dozen OYSTERS. They were featuring 3 different kinds (I think all from PEI) so we did 4 of each. I found the shucking to be great, and all 3 different kinds were delicious.
Next up, we split a Half Sized GREEK SALAD. A nice serving size, and very authentic with no lettuce. Could have used a splash of vinegar or something for tang, but overall it was nice. We didn't finish it as our entrees arrived soon after.
He opted for the PORCHETTA dish and I went with SHRIMP dish. His porchetta was perfectly cooked and kept raving about the dish, from the broccoli rabe to the poached egg which was also perfectly cooked. My SHRIMP dish was awesome as well, and thankfully the sausage wasn't overwhelming and really completed the dish. The dipping bread on the side was perfect for slopping up all of the goodness here!!
Wow, totally forgot about drinks lol. He did the Ouzo/Coffee drink which was like a milkshake and he loved. I did the Grand Marnier drink with Orange Juice and Egg Whites, which didn't wow me at first, but I ended up loving towards the end.
A must do for Brunch if you're in the area!
