It may be a case of too much hype but I'm sorry to say that I wasn't over-the-moon in love with Edward's.
Don't get me wrong - there are a lot of great things about Edward Levesque's.
When you first walk in, you are essentially standing inside the bright, open-style kitchen. The service was excellent. - friendly and attentive. The no screaming kids policy was quite alright with me. The banana pancake now has a special place in my heart, as does the thick cut bacon that came with my 'all day' breakfast. Although 'sharing' is prohibited, I was happy to say that my admission that we were sharing the pancake was well-received.
But there were a few things I simply expected to be better, especially for the cost of brunch for 2 ($45 incl tip). The home fries were pretty weak - no taste, not crispy, bland potatoes. A total downer for the 'all day' breakfast plate. The drip coffee was pretty great as far as drip coffees go but I was surprised to see that they were $3 a pop. Ouch. My bf had the 'special' smoked salmon omellete and commented that it was good but probably not $14 good. He had a caesar as well, but you only needed to look at the glass to know there was a hell of a lot of ice in it...
Overall, I wanted to like it more than I actually did.
