| - I went with a group of four on a Sunday at 1PM. Probably the worst time to go, especially in the winter, when there is limited space to wait inside. Our wait was about 30-45 minutes (inside and outside, so not too bad). Even if the wait ended up being an hour, I think I would have been okay with it, since the staff were so accommodating. They even made a couple move to a smaller table to fit us in a table of four sooner (the couple did not have their food yet and thus agreed).
Very much appreciated. It's like when there's a huge line at a grocery store with only one till open and a cashier miraculously comes up to open another counter. It's so great it's on the Book of Awesome.
Anyway, I digress. I ordered the steak topped with eggs and hollandaise sauce. It came with hashbrowns and fruit on the side. It was very good, except I wish our server would have asked how I wanted my steak (medium, but it was served medium-rare, more on the rare side). I didn't even notice she hadn't asked it until I started eating. So I suppose that was partially my fault.
As mentioned by the other reviews, the space is very small. While the chairs look nice, they're not very comfy (I'm talking about the tall white bar stools). A friend of mine even complained they weren't big enough for her bottom. There's not a lot of space to put coats and purses either.
Overall, it's a nice, cozy place to have brunch. If I ever go back (and I only say "if" because I don't live in Calgary anymore), I would probably try the smoked salmon benedict, which looks and sounds amazing - and - which was what I wanted in the first place.
