If i have to wait 45 minutes for brunch, then it better be worth it. (side note: the brunch scene in Toronto is getting ridiculously annoying where everywhere requires you to wait forever to be seated. Maybe I'm getting old but dammit I'm getting tired of this! )
Beast is not.
After waiting 45 minutes to be seated, it took approximately another 45 minutes for us to order and get our food. The restaurant is tiny, with a very, very tiny kitchen. It seemed like they could only make one dish at a time. I ordered the pollo loco, my friend got the bruce leroy, and we ordered french toast to share. The donuts (which sounded good) were sold out.
I was ready to eat my arm when the food finally came out and it was... ho hum. The pollo loco had no lip smacking flavour - the chicken was slightly soggy, the ranchero sauce had no flavour and no kick. I ended up putting hot sauce on everything and even that was bland!
The french toast again was ho hum. It needed to be crispier - the best part was the whipped creme fraiche.
you get a little bodum of coffee - enough for two barely full mugs.
Overall, I wouldn't come back. Ever.
