I know of the original location, so had high expectations for the new location.
The space is very well done - big windows let in lots of natural light, ample seating, well-spaced tables, and the couches in the waiting area bring a cozy touch.
There must have been changes to the serving staff or their training, as I felt they were attentive and quick (despite other reviews).
The positive review ends there, though. While the menu had a varied and interesting selection of waffle-based items, as well as sides and substitutes so you could mix and match your own ideal dish, the execution left a lot of be desired.
I will say that the bacon was fantastic - highlight of the meal.
The regular waffles tasted like they were made from a mix. The maple syrup was runny and was likely Aunt Jemima, not a real Canadian Maple Syrup. As a waffle restaurant, missing on those two things is huge.
The potato waffle was different and interesting, although was more like mashed potatoes than a brunch's hashbrowns.
The Americano was bitter and tasted a bit burnt.
Definitely not the Starving Artist experience that I expected. I probably won't be going back.
Pros: Architectural space, serving staff
Cons: Waffles, syrup, coffee
