Omg. Short story: avoid avoid avoid. Read on if you must.
Went here for a quick breakfast today. Coming from an early appointment at the nearby Albany clinic my wife and I thought we could get a standard "greasy spoon" breakfast.
Oh we got much more than that.
We both ordered 2 eggs, bacon and home fries. The orders came up quickly. That's where the good news ends
My plate smelled distinctly like fish. After a couple bites i was definitely tasting fish and I noticed my wife was picking at her food too.
I called the cook over (Mihalis) and explained it was not pleasant. He quickly assured me that he would make another dish and he felt perhaps the potatoes had picked up a fishy taste from the deep fryer.
My wife mentioned that she felt it was the bacon. He vehemently denied it could be the bacon.
Moments later a new plate was presented to me.
Potatoes were fine. No fish taste. But The Bacon was another story. The Bacon.
In fact the bacon was so bad that when I took a bite...you know that feeling when you eat something that's way off like your body won't even let you swallow it? And then you throw up in your mouth.... Ya. That's what happened.
I loudly asked the server to take it away and told the cook that it was most definitely The Bacon.
My wife looked a little green by this point as she had already swallowed a half a piece of her bacon.
The waitress and cook denied there was any issue but took away the food just the same.
Moments later we were presented with a bill for just one of our breakfasts. Like getting 50% off rotting food would somehow make it better.
It's been a couple hours. I am still off the whole idea of eating...and well, my wife? She's still green and has been violently ill twice.
How do places like this survive? By preying on seniors and other walk bys from patients at one of the largest clinics in Toronto.
Anyone want to open a competing breakfast joint right next door? Easy pickings.
Avoid. Not only was the food horrible. The atmosphere was pretty sad. And the service and response to this issue were terrible. I would give them zero stars if I could.
