I am giving it a 4/5 because my wife enjoyed her breakfast. Her poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the fruit was fresh, and the rye toast was just the right thickness. I was a little less impressed. I read all the reviews, so I tried the soda bread. I guess it just wasn't for me. It was very dense and not as flavorful as I would have hoped. Being from the states, we also tried a side of peameal bacon, never having heard of it before. Again, not for me. It seemed fattier than ham, and not as good as bacon.
But if you are looking for a true greasy-spoon diner in Toronto, this is the place. The atmosphere is classic diner, with the kitchen visible from the counter seating and all checks handwritten and handed to the cooks. The coffee was good, too.
