I enjoyed a lovely stroll across a great part of Queen Street before meeting up for brunch at Bar One. Not sure if I just happened to arrive early enough or if Bar One just doesn't get the usual brunch crowd, but there was absolutely no wait for a table.
Bar One has an espresso machine for all you latte and cappuccino lovers. I just tried their regular coffee. It was pretty good - no complaints. For some reason, the orange juice takes forever. We ordered a glass of OJ at the very beginning of our meal, we reminded them a few times about it, and we still didn't have it at the end of our meal.
The menu is huge - lots of choices, all very interesting. The food was very delicious and the portions are almost too big - I couldn't for the life of me finish my meal. Presentation of the meal is also quite impressive.
The food was terrific, the atmosphere was pretty good, but the service ruined my experience at Bar One. Hopefully my next visit will be more enjoyable.
P.S. Washrooms are downstairs (and not the nicest).
