| - I am a fan. What can I say? It's not the BEST food, nor the BEST atmosphere in the city, but we often end up back here! The location is really convenient and the food is good, as are the prices.
It's big enough that you can usually get a table/make a reservation on a holiday but small enough that it feels full and popular. Sometimes it DOES affect service, but I would say more often than not the service is good here.
This is a great place for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. The menu is large and the specials always offer a great range of new choices. They usually offer a seasonal menu insert as well, which always uses the freshest seasonal ingredients.
They just introduced a new menu at the end of July... but there's a lot of the same stuff on it. I was happy to see my favourite wild mushroom bruschetta and shrimp appetizers were both still on the menu.
I'll go through this one meal by meal...
BREAKFAST/BRUNCH: YUM!!! Like Kat, I have no idea why, but they are only open for brunch on Sundays, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's a HUGE buffet with everything you can think of, and it's all great. There's an omelet station and sooo many options. Plus, live jazz! And it's all for only $18.95 - not bad!
LUNCH: A great place to meet for workplace birthday lunches, lunch with clients, etc.
DINNER: They shine here for sure. One of my favourite places to eat pre-theatre downtown, it's a perfect stop before a St. Lawrence Centre/Bluma Appel Theatre, Sony Centre, LKTYP, ACC, etc. show. Their pizzas are very yummy, but really they do everything well.
OTHER: Pretty good for cocktails & apps, but keep in mind there's no bar to sit at if you're going there for drinks. If you like girly cocktails, try the "Berry Sparkler": Smirnoff Citrus, Grand Marnier, crushed Blackberries, Pomegranate Blueberry Juice
and lemon-lime soda... mmmm!
The summer patio is DELIGHTFUL! This is just the weather for it too!
