| - My girlfriend and I came here for brunch and I must say, we have had much better. The latte ($4.5) here is terrible. It pretty much tastes like office coffee. I should have known better when no one around us ordered specialty coffees and they didn't even have a coffee menu. Anyhow, to me, brunch and espresso based drinks go hand in hand, so this was definitely a shocker.
My girlfriend ordered the eggs benedict ($14) and we were pleasantly surprised when the food came within minutes of placing our order. That was until we found a long strand of hair in the sm'hash browns. Our waitress apologized and brought us a "fresh" plate within 2 minutes after they took it away.
The sm'hash browns, which is their version of home fries, tasted pretty decent. They were well seasoned and served nice and hot. The peameal bacon was slightly salty and juicy, but there was nothing exciting about the flavour profile. I found the hollandaise sauce to be on the heavy side and I missed the tanginess in it.
Overall, the eggs benedict wasn't bad, but there wasn't much to be thrilled about either. I would have considered returning to try other menu options as the service was efficient and friendly. However, that strand of hair in our food really made the experience unsavoury. With the god awful coffee as well, I am no rush to come back.
