I was really excited to drag my boyfriend down here after I found out that Lisa Marie got a brunch menu that included an interpretation of chicken and waffles (Cornish hen with cornbread waffles). In general the dish was quite good. The Cornish hen was excellently flavoured and moist, and the duck fat fries (my choice of side) was also great and didn't get boring after a few bites. However what dragged down the rating from what would have been a 4 star was the cornbread waffles. They were incredibly dry, and though I can see additional ingredients in the batter, I couldn't taste it. Although they did give me house made hot sauce and syrup presumably to moisten the waffle, the combo just didn't work very well together, and in the end I could not finish the waffle.
Lisa Marie also lost points form the pancake burger that my boyfriend ordered. I saw a picture of this, and encouraged him to get it thinking it would be much bigger than it actually was. Since my bf only ordered a salad as the accompanying side, the petite pancake burger just wasn't enough to fill him up from the meal. Which is unfortunate because I vaguely remember the burger being $12-$14, so for that price one would hope to be full after the meal. In addition I wouldn't say the flavour in the pancake burger was all that outstanding either.
Overall, I'm sure that downtown Toronto has more brunch options than Lisa Marie, but I may consider returning for a lunch or dinner experience though.
