| - I think this spot appeals to the all day breakfast crowd. We showed up on a weekday around noon and the place was somewhat empty. I can pretty much have eggs and toast at home so thought we would try a couple of relatively simple lunch options. Rather than beer or wine or coffee we opted for "fruit smoothies" . Laughable at best. These are quite expensive smoothies and I can honestly say that the golden archs make better smoothies than this place. These were basically slushees with lots of crushed ice and some sort of fake fruit taste but if there was strawberry in mine it was well pulverized. My wife had the mango which was equally appalling. I guess for a kid this might be appealing but these days the public has a pretty sophisticated palate and most people would find these drinks too sweet and fake tasting. Not really refreshing. I ordered the club sandwich which boasted "real turkey" as the key ingredient along with peameal bacon and tomato and lettuce. My wife ordered the fish and chips. Sadly, both meals were poor quality, almost cafeteria like in some respects. The fries had this odd oil odour so I suspect some sort of super cheap no specific quality of oil was used. Thin type fries like the archs . These fries were freshly cooked, I'll give you that but I could not finish them. The fish was mostly batter and the haddock seemed a bit undercooked in my estimation. It was edible but poor quality compared to other fish places I have been. My club was totally hilarious. Three thin pieces of regular old brown toast with what I can only describe as sliced turkey breast that was seared on a flat top. Usually when you order real turkey in a club it is like chunks of breast not thin sliced. The bacon was also very very thin and cooked on a flat top. The only saving grace was the tomato and lettuce which seemed to be decent quality. Frankly, I would not recommend the club although the waitress said it was a very good club. Trust me, this is very poor quality. The mayo or whatever was ok. For a weekend get the family out of the house at 10 am and have a quick brunch this is likely an ok place. I never ate the all day breakfast stuff but I suspect it is better than the club and the ultra battery fish.
The first thing the server dropped on our table were glasses of water. I asked, is this tap water. To which she answered with an odd smile, well yes tap water. I know the city claims this stuff is just as good as bottled but in a restaurant these days, you would expect at least to filter the water to get rid of the chlorine smell and taste.
Service is adequate but never once did anyone ask how the meal was, or how the drinks were.
The other items on the menu board seemed interesting but generally not the kind of stuff or quality I would accept. I guess for the dollar value and the location, right on queen street, this place is OK but I would not go back.
