| - Good for all you to leave such positive reviews for this local family owned restaurant because I always drive by it and would have never in a million years thought to stop in. It's very unassuming as it's located in a small strip plaza just off The East Mall. It looks like it might be a dive as you drive by but, trust me, it's a hidden gem!
We decided to try it on Saturday for brunch and, let me tell you, we (especially my husband) will definitely be returning. As soon as we walked in, we got a good vibe as it was very clean and there were quite a few people in there dining. I ordered one of the specials - two eggs, corn beef hash and homefries (came with rye toast) for $8.95 and my husband ordered the Peameal Benedict for (I think) $11.95. When it arrived, I couldn't believe how huge the portions were. Everything was top notch; eggs were cooked to perfection; homefries were perfectly seasoned and crispy and even the toast was good. I tried my a bite of my husband's Peameal Benedict and the Hollandaise sauce rivaled some of the best I've ever had for that dish. Only problem was that I ate 2/3 of it at about noon and I was full until 9pm.
One thing to note: it's not lacking ambience BUT it's very quiet in there with only one TV playing so, because there was someone at the table behind us, we had to keep our voices/ conversation low.
Bottom line: awesome food, great service and just a good, honest, family run restaurant. They don't have a website or advertise so please try and a get out and support this local Etobicoke business!
