| - Mood/Decor 4/5
I found a new brunch place! The decor is modern contemporary with some eclectic touches like antlers on the wall that give the place a unique twist. The tables were nicely set with sprigs of flowers on the tables and china plates, which added an elegant charm to the place. Downstairs the walls are painted white and white booths contrast nicely with the black chairs. The black fire place also breaks up the walls and booths. Upstairs is more dining space and a bar as well. In the unisex washroom, the sink water is operated by pressing on a pedal stool, which I thought was awesome and added cool element to the place. It makes the place a great place to have brunch, hangout, or have a date.
Food 4/5
I ordered the Smith Benedict, which comes with 2 eggs on English muffins. The poached eggs are served with a leek fondue instead of the traditional hollandaise sauce, pea meal bacon, home fries, and fresh fruit. I liked how non greasy everything was. The pea meal bacon was cooked well; not too salty or greasy. The portion sizes are large and the coffee served was fresh and hot. I found the brown cubed sugar in the small bowls with a tiny spoon adorable. My only critique would be that while the cream and milk came in cute glass containers there should have been more in there, rather than us having to constantly ask for more.
My boyfriend got the Smith Breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, tons of toast, and fresh fruit. When we asked for the food to be packed up, they were thoughtful enough to pack the toast separately so that it didn't get soggy. Looking over at the other tables, I want to try out their French toast and scones next time.
Service 5/5
Everyone from the host, to our waitress, to the food runners were friendly and attentive. We had our orders taken shortly after we sat down and the food came out promptly as well.
I'm always on the look for a new brunch place and I'm glad that I found another one that I like.
