| - Went here for the first time today and was pleased with my visit. The decor is really nice and there are great paintings all over. My party of 4 was lucky enough to be seated at the very back with the comfy couches! It was nice to have extra comfy seating and a bit of privacy. I found the waitress to be friendly and prompt (she even made sure to unplug/replug the router so I could use the free WiFi!! Very much appreciated). The waiter (who brought our mains) was also friendly.
The place has a really nice vibe - casual and cool that I feel is enhanced by the dark walls and furniture. Also, the ladies washroom was clean! I just wish it was a bit brighter in there.
I ordered the grapefruit mimosa ($5!) and I didn't really enjoy it only because I have a stronger sweet tooth (I should have gone with my first instinct to get pineapple!). Not to mention, I found myself wishing I had gone with a Bailey's-spiked latte or Bailey's-spiked hot chocolate, like my friends had (they said they really enjoyed them!). Next time, I will definitely try the pineapple mimosa and for 5 bucks, you really can't go wrong!
I just had to try the Memphis benny ($12) after reading great reviews. The pulled pork was great: soft texture, sweet BBQ sauce, as you would expect a good pulled pork to taste like. It was a great dish but I think I should have gone with their traditional ("Classic") benny since I've been craving a "regular" benny for months! The eggs were properly poached (which I was very grateful for!). The accompanying homefries were tasty too, having been tossed in a BBQ-like sauce as well. I didn't eat the salad, partly because I was stuffed, also because I tend to ignore greens in favour of carbs!
Overall, I really liked this place and will definitely return!
