"Arrived at 10:00 A.M. Sunday morning, while waiting for a friend to show I had several choices of an outside table. Not the most picturesque patio but it certainly beats the clamorous cafeteria style of the interior. The wall of cut popular trees helps remarkable well in hiding the parking lot just inches away. The waiters and waitresses were quick, attentive, friendly, helpful and busier than buzzards on a carcass. The tables were speedily cleaned and somehow the coffee cup (most importantly) never saw the bottom. While there (10-12:00), I observed several (over a two hour period) long lines of people (mostly groups of four to six) waiting for tables who'd first arrived around 10:30. For the most part the people were quickly seated as tables became available. It was a great summers Sunday morning of a long weekend and everyone was in great spirits waiting patiently for their turn at the trough. If possible, arrive closer to 10:00 especially if you want to be outside.\n\nMy friend had the mushroom omelet that was at least two large eggs with a good smattering of saut\u00E9ed mushrooms. The egg was done to perfection, light, buttery, not a singe mark to be seen. I would've liked to have seen a little more finesse though. An omelet should encompass its main component by being folded over. Saut\u00E9ing the mushrooms in fresh garlic and chive with a small amount of smoked salt would've been ideal. However, his report is that it was a tasty omelet and that is what counts most. The plate was heaped with a Mont Saint-Sauveur size helping of browned potato which was nicely seasoned with a buttery flavour. The hash browns (not the typical style) stood on their own not needing any added condiments, fresh ground white or black pepper would've elevated the potatoes a notch. The plate also came with a good portion of fresh cut watermelon and grapefruit. $11.xx tax included is a very reasonable price.\n\nI was not feeling hungry so ordered toast with coffee, coffee that had appeared as we sat down. I was surprised to be presented with a full plate. Two thick slices of brown toast well buttered (as ordered) a mountain of creamy hashed potatoes (as above), two decent sized pieces of fresh cut fruit, again watermelon and grapefruit, must of been on sale, lol. It was a meal and far more than I'd intended on eating. But as the scintillating conversation continued, my arms moved in an automaton fashion keeping me very happy during my attentive listening phases. Jams for the toast were a nice (not gourmet by any stretch) selection of orange marmalade, blueberry of which I partook it was good, strawberry, and peanut butter to round out the choices. All this for a whopping $4.54 tax included.\n\nA little more attention to detail in the cooking would up the ante a bit. I am not a fan of the loud cafeteria style ambiance, I get the easy clean motif but really, I'd fire the designer. Sound dampening materials are not that expensive while under construction and cost effective methods are easily implemented afterwards. I cannot bring myself at this stage to garner more than three stars overall. But we will be coming back and my friend will be bringing his wife there for her birthday this next weekend. In the West Island, their biggest completion is Chez Cora on Hymus at what will become known as the Target mall (not a real mall of course) in Pointe Claire. Another nice touch was the waitress asking if we wanted the fruit included. I really appreciate the waste not want not attitude. The wastes that copiously pours out of restaurants like this could literally feed all those who are not so fortunate to (over indulge) eat as well as we do. All the school breakfast programs would want for nothing. Ok sorry for the preaching, lol, but I am right."^^ . "2013-09-01T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . . . "1"^^ . .
