| - I got there today shortly after they opened at 11 a.m. - my group and I were still waiting for 2 people. The waitresses were kind enough to take my name down but we ended up going in shortly after anyway. It was still pretty empty when we arrived. They sat us in the back with the stools and high-backed chairs where we had some privacy (they offered to seat us at the communal table but we quickly changed our minds for obvious reasons!).
Our server was friendly and attentive (and I have to say, very pretty!!) but not pushy. She offered to get us drinks while we waited and checked on us before and after our last two friends arrived. She also checked on us during our meals (some waitresses just completely forget about you!).
Our food came out pretty quickly and amongst us we ordered: the smoked pork belly and pulled pork poutine (my order!), BLT, two grilled cheeses, the egg white frittata, and croissant/brioche side combo (also a bellini and mimosa). I was too focused on my poutine and didn't ask for a taste of the other dishes but I was told they were very good! My poutine had big chunks of smoked pork belly, tasty gravy, cheese (couldn't tell they were curds), and pulled pork. When the waitress told me it was pulled pork (before ordering), I was expecting more sweetness but the savoury taste worked well with the other components. I was expecting more cheese but I liked it just as it was (and seriously there are many chunks of pork belly throughout!). I found the poutine to be very filling (I left comfortably full rather than too full to move which was great! Trust me though, there is alot of food!). The only thing I would have changed was for the pork belly to be more fatty - it wasn't as tender as I would have liked - but it was still very good. Also, it was only $11!!
My friend had ordered a bellini but they took a long time to bring it out so my friend told the waitress that it was okay and she didn't want it anyway. So it was really nice for the waitress to give my friend a bellini on the house! I didn't ask how the bellini was. To be honest, I wanted to order one but I found all of the brunch drinks to be sort of pricey (the bellini and mimosa were both $11 as I recall - so pricey relative to the brunch mains and the other menu items if you look them up).
I was eager to split the deep fried Snickers dessert with one of my friends but decided against it because I knew I'd probably grab something to eat a bit later but I can't wait to try it!
Washrooms - The Tavern by Trevor appears to be part of a building that also hosts some other businesses. You walk down a hall in the restaurant and then come into a communal hall area (it was clean but I found it almost sketch because it was kind of quiet back there and looked totally different from the restaurant - white walls, blue doors, and seemed like someone could be lurking lol). Luckily the washrooms were clean and fully functional! Also, the keys for the washrooms are on mini hockey sticks!!
Overall, I can't wait to return for brunch, dinner, and dessert!
