Returned! To celebrate my daughter's birthday. I have been thinking of taking her here, knowing…read morethat she would enjoy their cocktails. I am glad that we chose this place! Each dish has elevated twist, and the price is so reasonable and even generous for the quality. Cocktails are excellent (lots of line-ups). They also serve nice choices of local craft beers on tap. We ordered: (Food) #Cast Iron Baked Brie fresh baked brie with house-made wild berry compote, candied pecans, prosciutto, garlic crostini $17 : This served as perfect appetizer for 3 of us. Enjoyable. Variety of ways to enjoy the baked brie. #Canadian Striploin 7oz striploin, garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables: We tried different & great steak dish here before, and this one is also EXCELLENT - the on-point seasonings, perfectly med-rare. Roasted veggies and mashed potato leave its own flavour and texture with right amount of seasonings. #Stuffed Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, tossed in a beurre blanc sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan: I wished the ravioli itself had more mushroom-forward flavor, and the wrapper had more delicacy (in terms of thickness and texture). However, I loved the beurre Blanc sauce - it was foamy - making the butter-ly and creamy sauce feel light in the mouth. Nice hint of tangy-ness. #Herb Crusted Salmonwith garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables, and beurre blanc sauce: The same sauce as ravioli, that matched with salmon well. (Cocktails) #Fig Fizz: With Durham distillery Gin, Raspberry Liqueur, fig jam, lemon juice, honey syrup, soda # Lavender cosmopolitan # Passion Prosecco Martini # Spicy Hibiscus Margarita All the cocktails were presented beautifully. Today's highlight was Spicy Hibiscus Margarita. (Dessert) Chocolate Espresso Martini Cake rich vanilla cake, mascarpone, house-made chocolate espresso mousse $10: Essentially, tiramisu. lol. Nicely presented. This place is versatile for us. Just for snack, just for cocktails, just for local beer, and elevated food experiences. Promising satisfying experience in each occasion. So blessed to have this place in my neighbourhood.

The reason I wanted to update the post is the Banh Mi is now very spicy if you get it hot.

The place was not very busy considering it was a Saturday morning but idk perhaps there's a glutton of breakfast establishments? The place was clean and service was decent. Just had to ask for the 2nd cup of coffee. Maybe people just don't like to come downtown cause it's not the nicest But it's not I felt unsafe. It's all fine. Parking is also free on the weekends so that is a bonus! Prices are great and the portion was good

The rye bread here is the best, thick pumpernickel. A family favourite. The French toast was ranked superior to most by my daughters, and the omelettes are huge, with TONS of filling.

Service, like the food is consistently, reliably good...better than good if you're lucky enough to be served by Terry, the quintessential diner waitress, who is nice, efficient, and knows what she's doing.

I recommended going here instead of Cora's or Denny's (that were in the area) because I went to sunset grill in downtown Toronto and it was great. The restaurant itself was clean and good looking. The servers were all very friendly. But my food was HORRIBLE and the coffee tasted watered down. I ordered the eggs benedict with smoked salmon. The salmon had a funky smell and taste to it. It definitely was not fresh. The eggs were runny and they drowned them in hollandaise sauce. I barely finished half. It was a nightmare to eat and a waste of a meal. The bathrooms also smelled absolutely disgusting. Not sure what cleaning product they used but it smelled like sulfur.

He ordered the fried chicken with French toast, and I had the fried chicken with pancakes--both were absolutely amazing. The syrup was so delicious, and the tater tots were perfect: super crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. They don't take reservations, so we waited about 30 minutes, but it moved quickly. It's a small spot, but the turnover is efficient and our food came out fast. The service was also great; our waitress made excellent suggestions and was really friendly. Overall, such an amazing experience. I've already started recommending this place to everyone I know!

My parter ordered the Big Fart and also really enjoyed it. We loved the home fries and the sausages were awesome. We got the pancake as a side and it was probably the fluffiest pancake I've ever seen! The portion sizes were perfect and we left the table comfortably full.

I got the original grand slam breakfast which comes with 2 eggs any style, 2 strips of bacon, 2 sausages and 2 buttermilk pancakes. The regular price is $12 but you get it for free on your birthday.

My wife ordered the prime rib eggs benny and wow that was delicious as well. $15 full order gives you two english muffins with poached egg your style (soft, medium, hard) covered with beautfiul Hollandaise sauce. The prime rib was tender and juicy and cooked with some grilled onions and bell peppers. The total bill came up $25 tax in. The coffees were bottomless and were pricey at $3.49 each. They also have a robot that comes to your table to sing happy birthday. This will be popular for kids birthdays. I loved it as well. Overall great experience and will come back soon.

The interior has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy a relaxed meal. Reservations are highly recommended, and the good news is you can book directly through their website, which makes planning ahead simple. A great spot for a delicious and comfortable weekend brunch.

Some coleslaw on the side would also have been nice but it was already a good deal at this price. The fish was perfectly cooked, and flaky. With good food and good service, I recommend this place!
