My girlfriend and I were excited to try this place and went for brunch on Saturday morning.
The place was comfy and funky. You order at the counter and then wait for your number to be called. And wait. And wait. It seemed to take a very long time but when our food arrived it was fresh. I had the Bae-sic and she had the one with smoked salmon and we each had a coffee and a hash brown on the side.
The sandwiches were fresh and flavourful and far too salty. The hash brown was fresh and crisp and obscenely salty. Both our hash browns went almost uneaten.
As I was carrying the tray to the counter, a woman behind the counter asked me how the food was and I told her it was way too salty. She said they did not add salt to anything, and was quickly corrected by the woman beside her who said yes they do. And boy do they ever. The bun, the sausage patty, the eggs, the sauce, the potato, everything is dialed to 11 on the sodium scale.
I do not normally comment on the price which is reasonable considering the house-made ingredients theme they have going, but it makes no sense to shell out 40 bucks when you could get robo food from a chain resto which is inexplicably less salty for a quarter of the price.
I wanted to like this place, and did like it, but someone needs to raid the kitchen and lock the salt shaker in the safe away from the chef.
