| - Short review: kind service, good prices, GREAT diner food, no figs.
Longer review:
Service is quick, kind and accommodating. Food arrived quickly. The ambiance is nothing fancy but it's clear they care about this place and have put a lot of love into it.
The prices are very good for what you get. In fact, I'd say they are a few bucks cheaper than even the most dive-ish places in Toronto. We paid $9 for a big plate with two slices toast, omelette and potatoes. That's usually around $10 or $11 everywhere else. I think the plate of 4 huge pancakes was about $7.
The food: definitely way above the average diner breakfast. The omelet I had was light, fluffy, ingredients fresh and generous. Homefries were pretty standard but good. But the pancakes - those are absolutely amazing. They are big, fluffy clouds of sweet vanilla goodness. Not mungy or grainy or wet like so many. No, these are dreamy and they are served with REAL maple syrup (the only acceptable sauce to serve with pancakes).
I really like this place and I think it deserves to be noticed, despite the fact that they do not actually serve figs.
