I have to start off by saying that I used to love this place when it was the original unpretentious Dupont pub with the amazing hidden gem of a patio. With the recent renos, this place is now just trying to be something it's not. The ambience is admittedly much nicer, if not a little cliche. However, the menu is overpriced and doesn't live up to expectations.
We came here for weekend brunch. My friends had the classic breakfast while I got the burger. The breakfast was pretty appalling in terms of portion sizes. What got to me most was the one piece of toast that they serve with it. Never in all my years have I seen a breakfast served with one piece of toast. Very very stingy. The burger was pretty shitty. The bun was so thick you could barely taste what was inside. The prices are also pretty steep for what you receive.
The only saving grace was the $4 build-your-own Caesar bar which has been in existence since pre-reno days. One of the few remnants of what was once good about this bar.
Good drink deals, but bad and expensive food. I guess I might check out the patio in the summer for a few drinks but don't even get me started on that breakfast...
