| - I don't know if it's just me, but there is a big difference between the night life and the daytime at Jamesons...
Western Conference CFL day Mom wanted to go for brunch before we had a bake-a-thon and watched football. We went to 2 places before I suggested brentwood Jamesons... My mother is not a huge fan of bars or pubs, but when I told her the Argos were playing Montreal she was happy to go, and was still hellbent on having brunch.
Friendly staff and very attentive, the hostess stuck us in a booth in the back, but you could still see all the TVs which my mom was happy about. Then she got a look at the breakfast menu and was floored that the classic breakfast was 5$... and by floored.. she didn't stop talking about it for the rest of the day.
We both got the classic breakfast
she- over medium eggs, shredded hash browns, brown toast and bacon.
myself- scrambled eggs, shredded hash browns, white toast, sausage.
She loved hers and the eggs were cooked perfectly.
Mine on the other had was a little different, my eggs were dry and you could tell they were done on a flat top, the sausage was cut in half and was very dry and my hash browns were cold.
I really enjoyed my baileys and coffee though ( who wouldn't)
Overall i was a little disheartened by my experience here as i love the 17th ave Jamesons and go there quite often. Maybe its just the difference between the morning and night.
My mother was so happy and that brunch cost 20$ and I payed.. I decided not to bring her down with complaints.
We will most likely be back. I may try the Bennie's next time as long as the Hollandaise sauce doesn't come out of a box, and isn't nuclear yellow.
