| - I really enjoy eating here, however I enjoy their dinner menu much more than the brunch menu.
For brunch I have had both:
CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST WITH BLUEBERRIES AND CARAMELIZED BANANAS $15
And
BENEDICT-POACHED EGGS OVER PEAMEAL BACON WITH LEEK AND PARMESAN FONDUE $15
Both were good but not mind-blowing.
From the dinner menu I had:
FRIED CALAMARI WITH PROSCIUTTO AIOLI AND CHILI SPIKED HONEY DRIZZLE $19
And
ARUGULA SALAD WITH QUEBEC CHEVRE-CARAMELIZED CARROTS, CITRUS, GARLIC WALNUTS & CARROT, GINGER, RIESLING VINAIGRETTE $17
The Calamari was completely delicious and so is the Arugula Salad. The Calamari is a large portion and is best shared between at least two people- I shared it with two other people and it was more than enough.
The two brunch items I have had were both very good, just a bit too rich for my taste, both times I had brunch I took at least half home for later.
I can't seem to find the weekday lunch menu online -- I had some kind of crispy chicken sandwich, which was alright, but not exactly my cup of tea. But the Icebox Cake was awesome, if a bit overpriced.
The service has been a bit spotty - at times I have asked for a side of mayo and was told that paying $2 extra for an aioli was my only option, which I took and the portion was very small, but at other times I was just given a side of regular mayo and not charged. Also I have found that the servers can be slightly irritable - which I find to be less than charming. I have always made reservations, I have never dined with fewer than three people, usually the online reservations work, however I have experienced arriving and having my reservation not in their book. They did accommodate my group, however, which I really appreciated.
I live quite close to Wish and find it to be a crowd-pleaser for a group brunch. The ambiance is very relaxed and fresh - I specifically love that you can sit in the heated sunroom in the winter!
