I wanted to love this place. It's close by, it's cute and the menu looked great.
My husband took me here for brunch as he knew I was eager to try it. We ordered a coffee, muffin trio, and two specials. First off, the coffee was burnt. My husband drinks his black but wanted to try something new and added sugar and cream, even that didn't mask the burnt taste. Of the three muffins, which we split in half, the only really good one was the carrot cranberry one. One was a weird cookie that at first was yummy but after a couple of bites I wanted to just be done with it. The third was...I don't know what flavour it was. The maple butter that came with it was very yummy so good job on that.
Now for the specials. My husband ordered some sort of perogie dish. I have to say the toast that came with it looked great and was perfectly buttered. He thought the whole dish was very tasteless and a large pool of grease at the bottom of the plate was very unappetizing. I, bless my heart, I ordered the salted caramel poutine. It sounded so promising! I love to try new things and the server recommended it wholeheartedly. Boy was that whole thing a mistake. It was SO salty I couldn't eat it. A waste of what could've been a great dish because other than the sauce everything other component was perfection.
I was debating whether I should post this review because I didn't give the restaurant a chance to make it better. But there's nothing that they could've done to make it better. Even if the meal was free the rest of our day was sucky with the stomach aches we experienced.
Thankfully we are fortunate and we could write it off as a hilariously bad experience. This review is for the people who work really hard for their money. You deserve better.
