| - Aunties and Uncles topped many lists that i have read declaring that they serve the best brunch in town. On my last visit to Toronto, i decided to see what all the hype was about. Upon walking into the joint, it screams nostalgia, with the knicknacks and overlaping layers of wallpapers this placed screamed history. We were met not greeted at the door, by a server who seemed very uninterested in serving us. We weren't feeling super welcomed, but brushed it off and starting surveying the menu. I ordered the standard breakfast plate, however you do not get to choose how your eggs are cooked, they come one way, scrambled. I don't know if it is because they say a true cook is judged on how well they can cook eggs, and they play it safe and only serve them one way. Anyways they came to the plate and they were good, but i do prefer them over easy. The bacon that accompanied it was delicious. The potatoes with the addition of sweet potatoes was unexpected but totally welcomed, they added a nice sweetness to the standard starchy potatoes. They serve the toast without jam, so i then had to wait for our server to come and ask him for jam, which they could have saved a step if they just asked if u want jam. They make their own and i can see that they don't want give it to people, who aren't going to use it, they just need to serve their guests better all around. My sis ordered the pancakes, and i can honestly say they were the worst pancakes i have ever had in a restaurant. They were bland, and rubbery, when they should be fluffy. We also had to wait at least 10 minutes to receive our check after we were finished eating.
Overall i liked my dish, but i could not go back solely because they food isn't worth dealing with the terrible service.
