| - We've eaten here for dinner several times and it was great. So, we thought we'd take some out of town friends there for brunch. Not so great. Brunch options: almost half the menu items include avocado and the waitress/hostess, upon opening told us that they were all out of avocado, for Sunday brunch. Really, queen? While we get it's not necessarily on her- felt like a huge fail when you offer Sunday brunch, and again approx half of your menu incorporates avocado.
We ordered coffee and were asked if we like cream and sugar (FYI-they do not have alternative milk options) the majority asked for milk, one for sugar. We were surprised (I was horrified) when the waitress returned with all of our coffees prepped by her. ?!?! Generally milk & cream are served on the side for the customer to add, as well as sugar, right? Two had the butter chicken & naan dish: the sauce tasted overwhelmingly of tomato and a place that builds its rep on its chicken, the chicken was bland and rubbery. One had the pancake platter, and felt they were OK but had experienced better in the TO for less or the same price. I had the Cassoulet of chickpeas, leather hard chorizo, a solid poached egg (menu says eggS), avocado (they subbed with tomato slices- which don't make up for avocado) and toasted ciabatta.
Food was lacklustre, there was no LOVE in this equation, coffee was brown water.
Not going back for brunch.
