My weekend brunch to this Mississauga institution was part of a celebratory affair. Our close friends were celebrating 50th anniversary and for nearly a decade, they ate brunch here every 2nd Sunday. Considering this place has stood the test of time, it has to be doing something right!
Our group arrival was shortly after 10 am and service is very friendly and warm. To be honest, it was probably the best thing about the place. Quick happy service with the restaurant manager talking to everyone and making sure everything is up to their standards. It's rare to see such dedication from everyone. Even though it was 60% full, all plates were removed quickly, coffee refilled, and conversations always occurred. I think they get a 4 star for service.
The food was buffet style and it was your usual continental breakfast with a made to order omelette. It was well stocked and very clean. Some items seem to be nearing their 'best before' date as croissants and Danishes seem stale and mushy. Bacon and sausages were lukewarm. The pancake was too moist from sitting around too long.
I wish I could rate this higher but the plentiful food wasn't warm or memorable as the service. Even the funny duck outside the restaurant sticks in your mind longer than the food.
