| - Pros: It wasn't packed for a Sunday brunch at 11am, my companion and I got a table right away
Cons: There's a reason for that
The outdoor waitress was friendly & professional, but there weren't any seats.... so we went inside. It's a really nice looking restaurant.
Hostess: Super-quiet. Led us to a table, dropped the menus and left. No hello, here's your table, enjoy your meal, barely eye contact. I think she was shy?
Waitress... I think she was having a bad week. Nevertheless, please remember you're on the job. Give us a fake smile once in a while.
I was a hungry boy this morning, and the food was barely edible.
The pancakes were hard and flat.
I ordered scrambled eggs and got fried (the second server who brought them said, "who's got the scrambled eggs".... and they obviously WERE NOT).
Sausages were sliced in half lengthwise and burnt, one of them to a carbonized husk of its former self. We asked the server, "is it supposed to look like that?" to hear her response. She said "yes that's how they're done". Geez. Lies all around.
Cold toast. Bacon, barely cooked. I'd rather have had normal-cooked sausages and crispy bacon!
I'd compliment the "Arise" orange-cranberry juice, but they got that wrong too. No cranberry. I later got some thick, super-sweet cranberry syrup in a glass on the side. Yuck.
Waited nearly 10 minutes at a cleared table to get the bill, I had to go get her.
Needless to say, there's so many decent breakfast/brunch spots in Toronto, we're not going there again.
