| - I'm just scoring this based on my experience here. I felt they might have more to offer, but it's up to them to eliminate all doubt regardless. I never tried their pies---their pies might be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I don't know---but they also claim to be a diner, and that's why I walked in the door. (I'd just love to try their pies though. Their lemon meringue looked promising, but BY GOD the price!)
Back to breakfast. I walked in about 11am, and there was just one other guy in the whole place---looked really empty (but that's fine; some places fill up around noon). The decor looked just super on point! Hipster, consignment, colour-coordinated, and clean (the washroom too)! Plus Heinz ketchup (in the glass bottle), and Tabasco at every table; the cornerstones of dinner etiquette! Points for that!
But, checking out their menu, holy cow! $12 for bacon and eggs? $8 for a piece of pie? $3 for tea? In other words, they're styling themselves as 'foodie-dinner'. Let's see how they lived up to that. I got the tea, and the $12 basic breakfast (sausage instead of bacon). In a normal dinner, I'd be getting my food in 5-7 minutes. This place took forever to serve me my plate, about 15 or 20 minutes. It was good. Nice seasoning and consistency on the scramble eggs (nicely done, but small portion); sausage was tasty, and potatoes crispy on the outside, and nice on the inside. Nice sea salt and seasoning. Alright then! Good sausage and eggs... but why did it take so long... and why did you charge me $12 for that? That's what I came away thinking. Overpriced, and took forever for (well above average) dinner food.
I'm still curious about their pies though.
