On Mother's Day, my friend and I were lucky enough to grab the last table at Gryphon d'Or. My friend had hyped up the brunch here so I was stoked to have a table on a busy Sunday.
Food: We both order the 1/2 and 1/2 sweet and salty brunch. It came with 1/2 an eggs Benny with bacon and / or veggies. We got both. Next it had a stuffed French toast -- She got apple caramel and I got lemon-blueberry. Both options were absolutely to die for, no complaints on the eggs benny, french toast, potatoes or salad.
Service: It was a MISTAKE to only have ONE server that day. It might be a small restaurant but serving both the inside and outside of the restaurant with one person made for a long, long wait and sub-par service for sure. I have faith that this isn't the case normally and that Mother's Day was an especially busy day. Still, this watered down the whole experience a little bit.
Decor: Very cute, at home feel in the restaurant. Tons of wooden furniture and homey decorations.
Other: Interesting that the coffee and tea is self-serve in a sit-down restaurant like Gryphon d'Or. I can certainly see how this is useful on a busy day for staff. Still, I think it adds too much unnecessary traffic in an already-squished restaurant in a busy lane between the front door, cash and washroom.
