| - I'm sure they have some good stuff here that is worthy of 5 stars, but the big breakfast I got I wouldn't count as anything super special. It's a convenient location in the Yonge & Eg area, which is lacking in "hip" brunch spots as it is, so of course this one gets over populated at times.
Went on the weekend and did not have a huge wait for a table of 4, but we did wait for about 10 minutes before even being greeted by a server. Food came out fairly fast, but my order was sent out incorrect (French fries instead of home fries). Took about 5 minutes to fix it though - everyone else was almost halfway done their meals by the time I got mine back.
Coffee cups are super small for regular coffee - they are served in espresso/latte cups, so you get a few good gulps before you need a refill. We felt like when we did empty our cups, we were ignored because they wanted us to hurry up and leave so they could reseat our table. Perhaps if you greeted us after more than 10 minutes, the transaction would have been a lot faster.
Table service was definitely sub par. No 2 bite check - it's a small restaurant, so just popping in on your way by our table to see if anything else is required shouldn't be that hard.
We were also a bit taken aback by the bill situation - we were there with another couple, in which our server brought over the bill asking "who the lucky one" was that was going to get the bill. I understand that in a fast paced restaurant you like to drop the bill in order to keep people from lingering, but there are definitely less awkward ways to do it. Our server did not ask if the bill was together, or separate - which makes for a super awkward situation. We are grown ups so we just split it in the middle, but I'm a bit appalled on a service level that our comfort as a customer was not taken into account here.
Not sure if we will be back again - would rather drive elsewhere than go to brunch in my own neighbourhood if this is the only option.
