Aww, so disappointed. I suffered many hardships to get to this restaurant! There was drizzle outside, it was cold, I saw a rat jump in front of the subway train. But I got there and ordered the fully loaded and waffle bacon. I saw that it was cash only with an ATM in store. Brutal! What a careless cash grab. I've been to the Lansdowne Starving Artist many times and they're one of the few restaurants that have a good presentation of food but THIS one does not give a fudge. The staff were friendly and I think they were making an effort but it still just does not compare to the original Starving Artist.
The potato waffles were so gritty, dry and overdone in spots and disproportionate to each other. The waffle bacon had so little bacon and seemed lesser and they forgot my maple syrup. The place is beautiful though but it's just a shame, none of it tasted as good as the original SA. I wanted to love this location, breaks my heart. 3 stars!
