| - This small restaurant is delicious, consistent, and very quick! I've been here over a dozen times now and I have yet to be disappointed :)! Even on a rather busy Sunday, I've never waited more than 20-25 minutes to be seated. The wait staff are very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. I've eaten quite a few meals here but below are some comments of my most frequented selections:
Smoked Salmon Jenny: This is an eggs Benedict on their "Johnny Cakes" (flap jacks I believe). The dish is very good! The poached eggs are always wonderfully runny and the hollandaise has a nice little spice to it. They are topped with a few fried capers and dill. It's a really nice balance and nothing powers over the other. I usually get a side of their home fries (which are great dipped into their homemade hot sauce)
Burger: Their burger is a gem in this city! It's very tall and the patty is thick, juicy, and packed with flavor. They seem to change the toppings to be seasonal - I've tried two types and they were both delicious. I usually order this with a side of their spicy fries. Sometimes they have poutine specials so I've requested a side poutine with it as well (I hope they start making poutine more often, it's great there!).
Breakfast'wich: This was pretty good and flavorful, but I found the other dishes a bit more filling! Still a great dish, though
Pierogis: Very fluffy and stuffed! Would definitely recommend these if you're not feeling a standard breakfast fare.
The Basic: I've had this with their fried green tomatoes and poached eggs. The tomatoes were surprisingly very flavorful and crispy - not too heavy either. Eggs were poached very nicely.
Every weekend they do specials! Some I've tried include -
Steak and eggs - delicious! There was a large cut of steak cooked a perfect medium rare.
Rack of Lamb and eggs - also delicious and perfectly cooked. Served with sunny side up eggs, pesto, and house potatoes.
Poutine - their homemade gravy was very rich and tasty. Cheese curds held their shape and melted just a tad - fries crispy.
French Toast - this was served with some fruit compote. It was a bit heavy for my taste but the flavor was all there. I just prefer French toast that is a bit fluffier
Overall, a great place for brunch. Yummy, straight forward breakfast food, friendly servers, and a very laid back atmosphere. It's very kid/family friendly, too.
