| - Despite the overall good rating, I found it nothing near what other Yelpers experienced that Sunday morning. My first time at this restaurant is frankly going to be my last.
My wife and I made the decision to try out a new brunch spot and we came across Valley Fields Restaurant. Not too far from the DVP with plenty of parking. As soon as we opened the door, we were greeted by a disgusting waft of dirty washroom mixed with what I think was cleaning supplies. For some reason, I still thought it was a good idea to still eat here, probably because of the Yelp reviews and the amount of people sitting inside. Did they not smell what I smelt?
There's a sign propped at the front that clearly says "Please seat yourselves," and as we were making our way to an empty table, we were told by one of the waitresses to, "Wait a couple minutes." It felt like forever until she then directed us to a table that someone just left, when there were clearly 2-3 empty tables available. A quick wipe of the towel was enough for her to think that the table was clean, but there were still, what I think, was jam and some white... substance along the edge of the table trim.
We really hoped the food would make up for all this.
We really did.
We both ordered the Valley Fields plate that included 2 sausages, 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of peameal bacon, 3 eggs, and toast. We got our food and look at one of my slices of ham. A chunk of it was missing... I mean... really? My scrambled eggs were still runny, the bacon was rubbery...
I asked for the bill and the machine, despite not complaining because I felt kind of sad for the place, and when I pulled out my credit card, the waitress just yanked it from me. Apparently, they still don't have wireless POS pads and are printing out receipts customers need to fill in the tip.
I hate to say it, but this is probably one of the worst brunch spots I've been to.
