| - My husband and I have mostly come for brunch through the years and quite enjoyed it. Well, until now. First off, the place used to be PACKED at brunch. Today? Dead. I don't know if it was because of Father's Day, but there was only one other table with people. The place just looked...sad.
Now for the food. I ordered one of my usuals, an egg white vegetarian omelette under their "light" section. The meal comes with a green salad and a small portion of fruit. The eggs weren't bad, but considering that it's a lighter choice, why bother using a THICK, CREAMY salad dressing? I don't care that it's mustard-based. A light choice should have a light dressing. Oil and vinegar isn't hard to make. My husband's eggs benedict looked pretty standard. As for the drinks: the coffee was nothing spectacular. We wanted cappuccinos, but their machine was broken and the restaurant was waiting for a replacement.
Service was okay. Our server was friendly, but she had more of a diner vibe (you know, the ones who call everyone "hun?") than someone who'd work at a mid-range sit-down in downtown Toronto. I did appreciate that she asked whether we wanted additional coffee. Some places don't bother - even if they do complimentary refills.
I really wonder whether this restaurant will be around much longer. The menu hasn't changed in years and it just doesn't seem as good as it used to be. Perhaps that's why it wasn't busy. Oh, and they don't offer complimentary mini muffins at brunch anymore. :(
