I ordered the chicken and waffles and was a little disappointed. The chicken was dry and didn't have any seasoning, the added powder sugar gave it a little flavor. The waffle tasted like a waffle wasn't bad wasn't great. I saw other items on the menu that looked better so maybe next time I'll give it a try. The restaurant itself was cute. It had bar where you could watch sports and enjoy a drink. Interior looked modern. Service was fine. It was only me that went to lunch quick and easy. I don't know if I would recommend this place since the chicken and waffles really did not stand out and it was around $23

Lamb chops

I had a great breakfast here! No complaints really, except the medium rare lamb chops were quite rare. Also, to sub potatoes for a salad it's an addition $4. Is this really necessary? That was over the top. Sausage really good. French toast was alright. Amazing potatoes!!!!

I came here for breakfast during work travel and I have to say I was super thrilled with my experience. The service was great and very attentive. The interior decoration was so beautiful and so inviting that it was so comfortable to eat in. The food was delicious. I ordered turkey, bacon and scrambled eggs and they were so fresh and came out super hot. My favorite was their French toast.

The wait was long due to being a popular brunch spot. When we were seated it took a while to get a server and our waters, but ince the order was in the food came out hot, fresh and together. So worth the wait I would say . We we're a party of 4 . Two of us ordered the Ultimate BTL on a buttery Croissant with a side ceaser salad. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. Everything tastes so fresh. One of use ordered the omelet with home fries, another ordered the breakfast platter. Overall a solid brunch / lunch spot.

I was happy to find that this place was a 7-minute walk from my hotel while I was in Toronto for a work event. We started working in the early morning, so my last day was the only day that I could get out and enjoy a real breakfast. I got there right as they opened at 7 am and was seated right away. I ordered the crepes with chicken, spinach and mushrooms, and it was one large crepe with a plate of salad. A bit odd for breakfast (more of a brunch item) but it was very good! I love crepes and this dish did not disappoint. My $7 latte was not as impressive. It was watery and not as enjoyable. My waitress was kind enough to give me a to go cup and add coffee to it for me to take with me. Overall I enjoyed and I'm glad I came.

Really good food. It's in the cut behind city hall. Has great outside seating! They are a bit on the pricey side,$65 for two entrees. Definitely check it out

Breakfast tacos

This was a cute brunch spot I stopped at in Toronto while walking around the city. They had some fun options like breakfast poutine which was really delicious! The tacos were flavorful as well. We also had a smoothie which was nothing special, similar to something I could have made at home. Service was a little slow but all of our items came out perfect.

This restaurant was close to our hotel. A little hard to find but t once we did, were greeted by good service and food. Portion size was generous. Everything was delicious. Would recommend.

Located just outside Eaton Centre. I was greeted by a lovely team member who introduced his name and he was very attentive. I ordered Avocado Smash, Orange Juice and an Espresso.

Ladies & gentlemen, this place is fyyyyyyye! While in Toronto for the Usher concert, the lady and I stumbled upon Eggspectation. Located just outside the Eaton Center, Eggspectation is a downtown eatery with ample indoor seating along with a decent sized patio. The ambiance gives of cheek, brunchers brunch spot with a trendy flare. The menu has a few specialities, along with some all days every day faves. After some review of the menu, I went with the breakfast tacos and my ohhhhh my, they did not disappoint! A combination of chorizo, bacon, and sausage along with potatoes, egg, avocado and some sort of lime cream . These joints were banging. They also didn't skimp on the portions! The misses went with the chicken and waffles, however didn't really care for it as the chicken was very bland. She tried to replace it however management didn't allow. Outside of management not working with us to change out an order, Eggspectation should be a spot to try if in the downtown area. I certify the breakfast tacos!

Eggspectation omelet
Jermaine M.

Expensive, cold, and slow Been in Toronto a few days and this place took the longest to bring the food out. When we got the food everything looked good but as you could tell in the photos my omelette was cold and so was my family's avocado toast Benedict.

EGGSPECTATION . . Is it just me or does brunch taste better on a Sunday? Its been a while since we went to @eggspectationca . So long that I didn't even know they renovated?! I loved the new interior and the new vibe. It was very pretty. I also believe they expanded their menu which is nice. . . Eggspectations crepe 3.75/5 Eggstravaganza 4/5 . . Food is always consistently yummy here which I love. I usually go for the classic eggs benedict but decided to try the crepe this time. It was good, but it just didn't hit the spot like an eggs benedict would (iykyk).

Breakfast tacos
Frank J.

Overall the restaurant looks extremely nice and trendy. Great bar area with TVs. The waitress we had was very kind. Tropical Smoothie was very good and had a great orange flavor. The breakfast tacos were large and great to share amongst two people. They were loaded with various meats and toppings. Highly recommend

There is a half-price wing special on Tuesdays after 5pm and Sundays all-day (with the purchase of…read moreany drink). I like how you can try a different flavour with each pound of wings. When I went, there were 22 fried wing flavours and 4 baked flavours. I visited on a Sunday at around 5pm, and it was already bustling with customers and music. Saw from another review that the baked wings were good, so that definitely took up one of the pounds/flavours. For the two of us, we shared the 3 pounds deal ($23.5 +tax instead of $47): - two pounds fried (Dragon Breath, Honeycomb Heaven) - one pound baked (Bollywood) - carrots/celery - one dill sauce for each pound of wings I also got a pint of their Canadian sub-zero draft. It was splendid with a balanced amount of malt due to the cold temperature shielding the hops that would have otherwise turned me away. Some of the flavour names were questionable, lol, but I wouldn't have any better naming conventions either. Bollywood baked wings had tandoori spices and were marinated in yogurt. Dragon Breath was really just coated in a buffalo sauce rub, and Honeycomb Heaven was like honey garlic with a lot of honey and just a touch of garlic. The fried ones didn't have as much chicken nor the flavour of chicken on its own, and were kind of dense and dry. Still better wings than the chains I've tried though. Honeycomb heaven was just alright; something I would find as a go-to comfort zone pick. Dragon Breath was too spicy to enjoy, and I had to soak the wings in the side of dill sauce to remove the tangy heat - an amazing combination that maybe needs to come pre-dipped. Baked wings are meaty and fresh, just like how homemade oven-baked wings are, but the Bollywood marinate really blew me away. I believe my exacts words were "why get dry tandoori chicken when you could have fresh tandoori wings?" If they introduced more baked wing flavours, I'd choose the baked option for every single pound of wings I'll ever get. Now onto ambience. I didn't recognize the music which was good because it served as the perfect background noise to my wing munching trance. And it was lively and nostalgic enough that I felt like I become one of those locals in a diner in a small town that would visit weekly for a dose of wings. I liked that everyone was either eating or in conversation, and that the server left me alone to enjoy my food. In the end we counted the bones, and there were 21 wings. Around 7 wings per pound, it looked and tasted like like a lot more meat than if I had gotten the same quantity at St Louis. 3 pounds of wings + a pint came out to be ~$35 after tax. Very nice - I will be back.

Food tastes great, ambiance isn't bad. I've been there 3 times this year so far for their Sunday…read morehalf price wing deals, but every time I go, I am NOT impressed with the service.

The atmosphere was a bit too noisy for my taste, possibly because I hadn't made a reservation and was seated near the bar. The table the hostess assigned me hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, and I made sure to point it out. She apologized and roughly mopped up the spilled liquid. Furthermore, instead of offering me a seat at the table she had indicated, the same hostess practically forced me to sit at the table with my back to the entrance (which I hate). Once she left, I immediately changed seats. Despite these minor inconveniences from the hostess, my waitress exhibited a higher level of professionalism, though she unfortunately lacked enthusiasm. It seemed like she was in a hurry to finish her shift. I don't know if I'll ever go back to this place, as I'm eager to explore other restaurants in downtown Toronto.

This place delivers top notch ambiance. You enter in, seeing a Zoltar machine (from Big) just beyond the hostess and then are ushered into one of eight themed rooms. We sat at the eclectic pub in the Star Wars themed section. Each section remains true to the theme (e.g., our section had a Han Solo stuck in carbonite). You then are given a menu with lots of options, but to stick to the nerdy gamer theme, I'd highly recommend going with the Dungeon meal, where you get your choice of pizza, burgers, poutine, or pasta and then you can roll a 20-sided die to choose each ingredient. This is where all the fun was introduced - staying with the integrity of our rolls, our table had some wacky orders, one hit (e.g., burger with steak and complementary toppings) and 2 big misses (e.g., poutine with a tator tot base, vegan gravy, bacon jam, goat cheese, and pickled cabbage). Even though the misses were massive, they opened the door to a night full of laugher as my friends painfully finished their creations. Additionally, the service is incredible! If you opt for an upgrade you can even have your meal delivered in a treasure chest! Highly recommend this spot!
