| - I went here for lunch yesterday. The service is really good. Our waitress waved to us through the glass, as we walked through the front door. Since we came shortly after they opened, the place was quiet (to start!), and it was a weekday as opposed to their craZy busy weekends that I've bore witness to, as I bike by and see a line-up out the front door.
It was our first time there and we had a lot of questions. Our waitress was patient with us, which was wonderful and something that may not be awarded during the weekend brunch hours, so the time we went was perfect!
I ordered the omelette on the Specials list for the day. It was a three-free-range-egg omelette that came stuffed with fried cauliflower and ricotta cheese and with guacamole and salsa verde on top, two toasted pieces of bread (cut in half) and a side salad with honey dijon dressing (this, I ordered instead of the French fries), which was a solidly good choice, since their french fried tend to be quite done, almost, if not, to the point of over done. I also got the smoked trout. AMAZING! Smoked fish is honestly one of my downfalls, so damn good!
The ambiance and the way Fanny's is set up definitely gives off a homestyle feel. My sister said it is a mix of modern diner with vintage and I would agree with her. It's extremely clean and very inviting. Their signature colours are orange and a light brown and they've designed it in such a way reflecting that, with those colours blended throughout the space. It's very well designed!
There were other things that could have improved the experience:
My omelette for example, originally came with bacon inside and a beef brisket. I supplanted the beef brisket with the smoked trout, but the bacon, which I specifically told my server that I do not eat RED meat, it came with the first omelette I received. Thankfully, my sister was interested in trying some and I saw the bacon when I cut the omelette open. I'm not really a hard core vegetarian. In fact, I am more of a flexitarian, however RED meat is something I feel rather strongly about, in that I do not wish to have it near the food I am eating (preferably). I told my server. She was mortified and I understood that people are people and they make mistakes. Especially since I've been in the hospitality industry myself to know what it is like. It was also her first lunch shift.
And while others, who are more particular with their food intake (ie. strict vegans and strict vegetarians) may have blown up and been super upset because it's BACON! I maintained my composure. Our waitress was incredible about it and allowed us to take that one home. In addition to the new omelette, sans bacon that was prepared for me, on the fly.
Restaurants tend to get loud, very loud when there are a number of people filling up the empty spaces and having their own conversations with one another. Some are a lot louder than they need to be, especially when talking to people RIGHT BESIDE THEM- it's their own prerogative. Unfortunately we experienced this with those sitting behind us. It was somewhat unpleasant and uncomfortable, considering I turned around and told them but it was also something beyond our control. People wanna be that way, there is not much anyone can do, except those specific people. People wanna be inconsiderate, rude and disrespectful... by all means!
Apart from that my experience was over-all good. I'd like to try their finnish pancakes and perhaps other items, but I might get take-out next time.
