The senator used to be one of my favourite brunch spots downtown, but has gone way downhill since trying to become more "upscale".
They used to serve great breakfast staples at affordable prices and have amazing diner coffee. Now, they charge way more money for fewer selections that taste no better (and in fact taste worse) than what they used to serve. They've also switched to some overpriced hipster coffee which is way worse than the old stuff.
Bottom line: I miss the old senator!
