| - I was so excited to try this because of all the great reviews but upon sitting down I thought it was just like any other trendy brunch spot. It's a great space and thoughtfully designed. Graffiti wall, cool colorful lights, suspenders and bow tie clad servers, garage door that open up the back terrace area. However, the menu did not look like anything special other than two, YES, TWO, full pages of cocktails. Good looking out for the boozy bunch! Thanks and cheers!
It took me a while to decide on food because it all sounded the same. I let my server's recommendations narrow my selections and ordered the Duck Benedict and a coconut maple coffee concoction. The coffee was great. I had never heard of it before so of course I had to try it. Now, the duck...omg...that was good. The English muffin was a little tough, not sure why I had such a difficult time cutting through it but after a while I was getting so full; there wasn't any more room left for bread so whatever. The poached eggs we perfect. The duck was tasty. The potatoes...man, you know a place is legit when something as simple as potatoes are spot on delicious!
The service was excellent! I did not get my servers name but she was so awesome. I'm so glad a Yelper mentioned that she liked this location better than Mont Royal. She was not lying. It's fantastic. I suppose I cannot compare since I've never been to the other location but I've passed by several times and there was ALWAYS a long line. I'm not standing in any line when there is amazing food all over this city. Anyway, back to my amazing server...she was delightful. Warm, charming, checked in with me at appropriate times, totally girl crushing on her! Even the manager stopped by to check on how everything was.
As if that wasn't enough...the surprises never end. Ok, so if you happen to be here and you are completely hungover or high I suggest not using their restrooms without assistance. You will not be able to find your way out. Pictures attached.... Man, I forgot to snap a picture of the damn sink! The water was a little too hot so I'm trying to look for the "cold" lever. Instead air is drying my hands! Thanks, Dyson. You are a clever old man. Love all your stuff. Hahahha...enjoyed this place thoroughly.
