| - theres a nice old time, worn feel to this place and then it has these strange sparkly vinyl blue seats. they are quite fun but if you are going to grab a booth then make sure you have one of their extra long tables as some of the the shorter ones are too close for comfort.
after we changed tables to somewhere closer to the back, we poured through the menu and made some difficult choices...everything sounded great. i settled on a poached egg with sauteed mushrooms atop half a bagel. that came with potato rost and apple cole slaw. my mum had a spinach and brie omelette and we shared smoked salmon and fishcake sides. admittedly i didnt try my mums omelette, but i had everything else.
the mushrooms that doused my bagel were very flavourful, like they had been sitting in some great chicken stock or something for an entire day. the egg was runny (love that), rosti roasted, the slaw a nice surprise. the salmon was awesome. the best smoked salmon glistens with salmon oil and is pinky not peachy. this was. the fishcakes, were, well, slightly fishy. go ahead and call me a goof for that one; i think i dont like smoked salmon cooked - which is what this had in it.
the staff was great, helpful, direct and kind. the prices, though, i think are a little too high for what you get but on occasion, id go again.
