I realized it's been over a year since I left a review for The Wren and I've been back almost once a month since! By far my favourite menu item is the Fried Chicken sandwich. It's seasoned well and provides just the right ratio to meat. I have to stop myself from ordering it every time.
It's been a few months since I've been for brunch, but I agree with other reviewers, I think this is still a hidden gem. I live in Leslieville and it's nice to be able to get a table without standing in line for an hour on the weekend. And the food is delicious, I'm a fan of the eggs benedict.
Last recommendation is to save room for dessert. Throughout their first year they've added dessert options and I haven't had one that didn't deliver. The stout chocolate cake I think is my favourite. It's rich flavour and smooth texture make it hard to fit it all in, but I try. However, the cinnamon bun cheesecake is a close second.
The only complaint I've ever had is that it can be really loud in the place. They've added dampeners to the ceiling though and I feel that's made a difference to the background noise.
Check it out if you're in the area, or go to the area to check it out. It's worth the trip.
