| - I've been told of this restaurant from a couple of friends, so I figured I'd see what all the commotion was. Decor is really nice and cozy, and depending on were you sat, you can see the chef's in action.
We got Ramona's Brunch Schnitzel, the Morning Frankfurter, and Ramona's Meat Poutine.
The Brunch Schnitzel is breaded differently than your traditional panko crust - it's a lot lighter and herby than your traditional. I was really looking forward to a crunchy exterior and I didn't get much of that here. It could have used a bit more seasoning; found it a bit on the bland side. The tri-coloured potatoes we're a nice twist however. A blend of yellow, red, purple and sweet potatoes really adds character to the plate.
The Frankfurter.... that looked like a ginormous plate of food. All in all, it was cooked well, but it wasn't something you'd be dying to come back for again.
I think the Meat Poutine takes the cake at Ramona's. Just the right amount of savouriness, but not too overpowering. Plenty of meat and cheese curds as well.
Service was great at the beginning, but I think the waitress we had just started so some things we asked for were neglected. No biggie though.
Overall, a good place for brunch, but seeing how some dishes are recycled throughout the menu, I'd like to see more creativity, because Ramona's definitely has potential.
