My previous review mentioned phantom reviews with 5 stars and people claiming that the place was the best. It is good to see that the reviews have been black holed in the Yelp universe.
Shortly after my review was posted, the co-owner contacted me and asked me to give them another try and the meal would be on him. That was 3 weeks ago. I did not contact him nor accept any compensation as it would pollute the honesty and integrity of my reviews.
I was in Calgary again and this morning decided to give them a try again.
The same good service was given (I believe it was Irene) and I ordered the exact same meal - for comparison. The eggs were supposed to be over-ez but they were almost over hard, and their solution to ensuring that the sausages were cooked through was to butterfly them. Too bad the cooks have not figured how to cook the meat without having to hack them open.
Just before finishing my meal, I Yelp messaged the co-owner to thank him for his email and told him that I was at his restaurant and advised him that I do not take compensation of any kind. I did however tell him that I will update my review based on today's experience.
If you happen to be in the area and need a fill up, the food is fine for that - btw, coffee is pretty good and not included in the breakfast special. They seem to take more care with the food since my first trip there. Again, service isn't a problem.
It's nice to see that Yelp reviews make a difference!
Cheers.
