| - I found this place in a write-up on CTV of where Prince Harry might go for brunch while he's in T.O. and mayyyybe this may have had a lot to do with choosing it for our own brunch. Yep, we're those people. Well, actually it was 2/6 of us. However, has he actually come here or are they just assuming he will come here because, well, English pub and royal namesake? In that case I'm sure Meghan Markle has other haunts that he can't get at home; thus I am feeling fooled.
Annnyways, The Anne Boleyn is a really nice, spacious and super well decorated establishment. We came here on a Saturday morning for brunch, and it was quite relaxing. They have a lot of space inside and outside on their patio. We had the choice of which area to sit in and I wish we had chosen "The Library". The library has floor to ceiling bookshelves adorned with many old books. There was no one seated there when we arrived, so we could have had that nook to ourselves. Next time! The rest of the space was equally as nice in its own right with plush bar stools, round about booths and gold tables. The silverware is also especially detailed and nice. The place felt stylish but comfortable. Several TVs were playing soccer and football games.
I had the Full English Breakfast for brunch ($17) and a mimosa. It came with a large slice of toast, eggs (sunny side or over easy), mushrooms, tomatoes, brown beans, pork sausage, hash browns and bacon. It was delicious. I forgot how much I love brown beans at breakfast. Everything was fresh and piping hot. The hash browns reminded me of the ones at McDonalds but I'm not complaining, those are my fave. I wish they had mustard with the pork sausage, I didn't think to ask. Coffee was pretty good, but they don't have cream, only homogenized milk. I was let down at first because I really hate milk in my coffee, but was pleasantly surprised. It actually tasted fine! My mimosa was also delicious. Note: they are unable to serve alcohol before 11, so we had to wait about 10 minutes to get our boozy brunch beverages. Say that three times fast. Oh, and the caesar was good, but fyi spicy for those who have a somewhat sensitive palate to it.
The service was pretty good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but there was a couple times we would run out of coffee and water and had to ask for it. Which is usually fine but I was dehydrated and headachy, ok, hungover and really needed it. They ended up leaving a pitcher of water on the table which was appreciated, and would still come back to help fill the glasses which was nice.
Verdict: I would come back for brunch or even lunch/dinner; and to try more cocktails. They have quite a few solid choices.
Space: 5/5
Food: 4/5
Service 4/5
