| - I have been going to the Essence of Unionville for approx. 7 years now. It has easily become our favourite place for Sunday brunch with family/and or friends. The service is exceptional as is the food selection. Once you are seated you are offered complimentary flute of orange juice. They have many breakfast favourites such as eggs benedict, sausage, bacon, made to order omelet station. The selection is great! Prime rib, 3-4 different entrees, fresh vegetables, roasted potatoes, several salads to choose from, fresh in house made sushi, crab legs, shrimp, mussels, smoked salmon, antipasto - the list goes on!
The desserts are out of this world and made in house by their very own pastry chef! Large selection of fruit, mousses, cakes, creme brulee (one of the best i've had!).
I was just there last Sunday for brunch with my hubby. There was an item i couldn't eat due to an allergy issue. One of the chefs offered to make me a plate so that it wouldn't include the item i was allergic to and personally brought it to our table for me, The servers are so nice, friendly and often come over to ask how everything is, topping up drinks, clearing plates away so often that you don't even have to ask! They always remember a face they've seen before, so we often get a server that we've had on a previous visit and they will remember what we like to drink whether its a soft drink with our meal or cappuccino with dessert. It is always super busy, but the service & food is always top notch.
We've tried 2-3 places along Highway 7 for brunch and this has remained at the top of our list! If i had to choose 1 thing that i didn't like, it would be that they don't have a kid friendly menu for kids 8 & under. Considering the fact that they are in a hotel where families do stay, it would be nice to see a couple of items (mini pizzas, tenders & fries, pasta, waffles, pancakes?) for kids. Price for adults is $38.50 and $20 for kids.
They offer special brunches for Mother's Day, Christmas Day (weekday brunch is offered during the holidays in December), Easter (egg hunt for the kids!), New Years Eve & New Years Day to name a few :)
