Unable to sleep last night .... I got out of bed bright and early to grab myself a 6:30 breakfast at compass.
I waited to be seated. (Less than 1 minute)
Started the day with a Globe and Mail, and option of coffee or juice was immediately offered. ($3.95 for coffee)
Server was super pleasant despite it being so early in the morning and the rush of people. (tour group)
15 minutes passed by quickly with my Globe in hand.
Breakfast was served.
The presentation of the classic Benedict was pretty and colourful, but the overall taste was average. I added salmon to it for $3. I probably shouldn't have... But even if I didn't add the salmon, the dish makes you think of the phrase "less is more". There was too much going on the plate that it was a bit overwhelming on the palate. Especially so, earlier on in the morning. The flavor of the hollandaise sauce was a bit too much. The potatoes were a bit overly seasoned with black pepper. The extra pan fried onion and 3 colored peppers on the side was unnecessary in my opinion seeing how it made my fruit on the side warm.
Not the best eggs Benedict I ever had, but it's a convenient option if you're staying at the hotel and don't feel like braving the cold for anything else.
Average food, but....
Service was excellent! Staff is super friendly!
