I came here recently for a weekday lunch and had a great experience. The servers were friendly, the food was fresh, and the prices were reasonable.
The awesomeness:
- their bannocos were perfect for lunch for me. I'm not a big eater so I was looking for something light that wasn't a salad. two tacos and a refreshing cucumber apple salad totally hit the spot. The tacos had a great balance of textures and flavours and was only messy to the point where you'd just laugh (as opposed to messy to the point where you're frustrated... I can't be the only person to have experience that before...)
- their specials are on point! My friends ordered the brunch special (a fricassee that came with a balance of meat, eggs, and fresh greens) and it came heaping on a plate. The portions for them put a big smile on their faces.
The not-so-awesomeness:
- the server advertised a few fresh juices, so my friends picked the maple lemonade, and I went for the strawberry lemonade. Someone later came back to tell me that they were all out of the strawberry lemondade (it was 11:30am). I was a sad panda.
- I ordered the cream of mushroom soup (my absolute favourite thing on any O&B menu). While this one was just as tasty, it was super duper thick and reminded me of a soup that's been on a pot for a loooong time. Flavour wise it was still good but texture wise it made me feel as though it wasn't very fresh.
Our server was fantastic, she checked up on us often and my water was never past half-empty. As we were about to leave, they called after us as a friend forgot his glasses on the table (again showing how they're always on the ball with service). The place is a great lunch spot and I'd gladly come again.
