| - Have worked about a 5 minute walk from this place for over a 8 months and only found my way in today for a late breakfast, early lunch.
Always has a line on the weekends, figured it must be good.
Arrived on a Thursday at noon, was able to get a table for 6, think it was just that we were lucky, after being seated, there was a line-up until we left.
Ordered drinks, coffee and ceasars all around. Their ceasars are amazing, just the right amount of spice. Coffee is also decent, better than most brunch spots in the city.
I opted for the Croque-Monsieur ($10.95) that comes with a side salad of mesclun greeens, apple slaw and a paprika mayo dressing. The sandwich was buttery good, chalk full of delicious ham, dijon mustard & smothered with very tasty cheese. Also sampled the Eggs Benjamin ($14), eggs benny with smoked salmon. Also good, the eggs were poached perfectly. Someone at the table ordered the Toast Champignon (10.95) a half bagel piled high with sauteed mushrooms, onions, herbs and a poached egg. It looked amazing. The side of rosti looked to be french fries though.
Service was good, they could have used a third server as both were pretty swamped.
Overall, a good brunch.
