| - So apparently I lived next to the Dupont location this whole time (and by this whole time, I mean the past 6 months) and didn't even realize it because the most noticeable sign says FOOD. BUUUUUT, when I found out the restaurant was Rose and Sons, I knew I had to try out their brunch because they are ranked #10 in blogTO's BEST BRUNCH IN TORONTO article in October 2016.
Overall, the meal was okay. The service was not the greatest. I came here on a Sunday with my BF around 1:50 for brunch and I was surprised we didn't have to wait for a table at all. Since I live a 30 second walk from the restaurant, I usually see people waiting outside for a seat and what not, but it was quite empty when we got in (I think it was because we came here on the first day of Daylight Saving and everyone was still asleep).
I ordered a latte and their fried chicken and grits. My BF ordered the huevos rancheros and fries on the side. We waited around 20 minutes for the food to come, and I never got my drink until I prompted the servers. I wish I got my drink a bit earlier because it would have gave me something to do while I waited. (Plus, I REALLY wanted to drink my latte). The food was alright. I think this place is just quite overpriced in general. These four items costed 50 dollars, PRE-TIP.
If I waited 30 minutes for a table and an extra 20 minutes for the food, I think I would have been unimpressed in general. I would probably not come again just because we lucked out on the waiting for a table part and I don't think the expensive food is worth it.
TLDR; Rose and Sons is a super hipster place with its cool decor and hard ass vibe. The food is quite expensive, but if you really have nothing to do on a weekend and just want to eat some fancy diner foods, then you will definitely enjoy this place.
