| - I really, really like this place. To be fair, I admit I have a predisposition to love diner type places (like shanghai cowgirl,) and the fact that I came here on a beautiful sunny day probably didn't hurt either... but come on! Three dollar caesars and mimosas from 9-5pm? That's outstanding!
Being the labour day weekend, this place was packed. Luckily, we were only two and got a table for two quickly but were informed that the wait for food would be around 40 minutes. Our server looked like she was being run ragged, but she was still friendly and managed to deliver the goods and take our order within a reasonable amount of time.
I had the smoked meat sandwich, with sweet potato fries (definitely worth the extra price to upgrade). The sandwich was absolutely fantastic and the fries were great as well. They were served with a chili-garlic like mayonnaise... Now, I still think eating fries with mayonnaise is kind of gross (in theory) but I have been hooked ever since having this combo on vacation this summer. Anyways, it was delicious. My friend had the french toast, which was pretty good as well.
So really, do yourself a favour and have brunch here on the weekend - they have a patio as well, which would be perfect for enjoying the last few days of summer. Top your meal off with a walk through trinity bellwoods park (the lakeview is just north west) and you've got the start of a pretty great day!
