Ramona's is good, but it could be better. Between two of us, we shared three dishes:
-- Ramona's Banana Bread French Toast ($13)
-- Brioche French Toast ($11)
-- Dad's Full Breakfast ($15) - 3 eggs, 2 toast, home fries, 2 meats (bacon, peameal, turkey bacon, sausage, or ham), french toast or pancakes
My main issue is I don't think you could possibly be full ordering either of the french toasts. You get two pieces with the brioche and essentially two pieces with the banana bread. I don't think they're worth their price tags.
Dad's breakfast was standard fare, but the menu says "pancakeS," but you only get one pancake. If you just want a big portion of regular breakfast food, I wouldn't come to Ramona's. For comparison, Honey B Hives' Working B Breakfast is $10 and has three eggs, three pieces each of three sides (ham, peameal, bacon, turkey bacon, or sausage), three pancakes, and home fries. There's no competition: Honey B Hives is wins easily in price and portion size; taste is equal.
The two french toasts were delicious. The banana bread inches ahead, but you can't go wrong with either.
Ramona's feels slightly more polished than your typical brunch spot and the food looks great. The prices are just a little too "Downtown Toronto" for my liking, but if budget doesn't factor into your decision making, you can't go wrong with this place.
