Maggie's in no longer my number one vacation breakfast spot in Toronto.
I had originally planned to eat breakfast at Maggie's every day of my vacation, but after just my second breakfast there those plans had to be changed.
I was disheartened by the fact that the espresso machine was broken, even though that is a forgivable offense. What I cannot get over is the fact that my steak was rough, rubbery and over cooked on both occasions when I ordered the steak and eggs.
The steak was still seasoned the same with fresh garlic and peppercorns and served with a side of fruit 3 eggs and style garlic fries and buttered toast.
I reasons that Maggie's is using a less expensive cut of meat... in order to cut down on food cost. However I could tell almost immediately. I felt as if I were chewing the bottom of a leather boot. Also I should mention that I ate my steak in eggs after 12:00pm, perhaps the save the really terrible steaks for diners who eat later in the day??? The jury is still out on that one.
My unhappiness was heighten because of a year worth of longing for steak and eggs, Maggie's to be exact, when the time finally came my steaks was barely edible.
This place has lost some of it's charm and appeal, but I'll never forget the good times we've had in the past.
