Mike JSeptember 26, 2017Really enjoyed brunch here. Huevos rancheros was delicious, and we got the citrus spiked French toast for the table, which was quite tasty. Get a reservation for weekends, it gets busy.
Kate VahrahApril 25, 2018Weekday brunch is a thing everyone should do! Cheap mimosas, large cocktail list. Espresso, tea, juices, etc. Chicken and waffles were to die for. Potatoes come covered in a ketchup sauce, fyi. Go!!
Steven WallerMay 11, 2016One of Best service and food experiences I've had in two visits to Toronto. Pontine with pulled pork has the wow factor so be sure to share the large portion with someone...
Cam_in_BrisApril 24, 2022The house fries and salad that come with everything are really tasty! Eggs Benedict with tomato and avocado was just the right size - not over the top. $6 mimosas are a good deal. Will be back.
Rob LApril 4, 2015I like this place as the kitchen serves until 1am! A rarity in the Tdot but certainly welcome. The fried chicken and waffles were very good.
Annuh StrangeSeptember 18, 2014Their home fries are the best in the city. I could barely finish this PLT sandwich! Good food and service is excellent. Free wifi as well!
HklingJanuary 2, 2022Whilst the food is good, be warned that the coffee has a Cinnamon taste to it and the home fries are served coated in a ketchup sauce but it’s not listed anywhere
Best breakfast I've ever had. Eggs Benny and a split order of French toast. WTF is on them hashbrowns!? Amazing! And somehow still crispy! Service is top notch, music is phenom. I never want 2 leave!
Josie CJuly 17, 2013Affordable, delicious brunch, anything on the menu that includes poached eggs is good! Their home fries are pretty excellent too: potato wedges dowsed in buffalo sauce. Mimosa's are weak though.
Night menu burger and the Avocado chicken brie sandwich. Okanagan Pale Ale was only $4 per pint on Saturday night :-)
ChelseaAugust 17, 2014Heaven on Earth French Toast is incredible. Loraine Benedict is the best eggs Benny I've ever had! Amazing brunch
Ghazal NJune 18, 2016I liked the nachos and dips, and the arugula salad. Will probably go back for breakfast:-D- Andrea MacKinnonNovember 8, 2018A great brunch in a trendy area. The French Toast is delish and there are lots of great cocktails on their Wake Up Call menu.
The eggs florentine is great for brunch. They have great drink specials & foursquare deals. They're open very late too. Foodie options.
Albha EganNovember 17, 2018Got the vegetarian wrap with shrimp. Very tasty but a touch expensive for what it was. Lattes are gorgeous but on the smaller portion size. Really nice staff. WiFi is weak.
Brigitte PerezOctober 1, 2018Went for brunch had the steak & eggs. Steak was delicious. Busy so expect a wait. Music was good. Decor amazing.
Teresa ShiangDecember 30, 2015Get anything with the home fries or make sure to order them as a side. And definitely get the grapefruit mimosa!- Great cocktail list! Good late night menu too. Decent portion size for the price (at least with the poutine).
Michael SoncinaJuly 27, 2012This place is so awsome, there pizzas and Sangria are a win. Plus! Don't forget to tip the waitresses they are good people and the best anywhere!
Jaime JorgeSeptember 27, 2015Pulled pork Benedict is super dope. Asked for extra as avocado and mind = blown as result
Jamie BaxterDecember 17, 2014If you need an appetizer for a meal, order the Epic 3 Cheese Nachos. Beware: even with two people, they may be difficult to finish!
Katie CopelandAugust 20, 2016The dinners were okay, the service however was poor. Our waitress was slow barley ever checking in on us, and not really having a kind personality (or decent bedside manner as one would say).
Ryan ShisslerApril 5, 2015French toast is great. The home fries come with some sauce on them that's like buffalo sauce but not spicy. Wouldn't order again.
Danny A.May 7, 2012Excellent food! Tryed calamari salad, whole grain pizza and pistachio chicken with potatoes and broccolini and all were great!
Milauni VibhakarJuly 13, 2014A must visit for brunch and don't forget to try the potatoes apart from omelettes...- Open late. Great food. Get there REALLY early for weekend brunch as the wait is rediculous and they don't take resos.
Samar HamdanOctober 29, 2017They use brown english muffin for the Benedict. Home fried potatoes was good but I wont come to the restaurant just for this.
aEsther BarutiJune 29, 2014I love this place. Everything is good there! It has become a regular hangout spot for me.
Phil PDecember 7, 2014Roberta is the best server I've had in a very long time in Toronto! She's amazing.- Kelvin LeeMarch 23, 2012Perfect dining experience! Chicken linguine was amazing and the drink specials are great. Roberta is awesome!
She So SavvySeptember 4, 2011Gourmet pizza is $9 on Sundays with a $4 pint of Mill St Organic it makes for a savvy meal:)http://www.shessosavvy.ca/fooddeal.php
Anna KwanMarch 4, 2013Get the PLT sandwich for brunch! The rosemary foccacia alone was worth the wait.
Get their hashbrowns - drowning in red sauce, they are the best!Also order their banana and chocolate chip pancakes. They are baked not pan friend so they rise like cake. Mmmmmm Read more
ytwytw zhangMay 3, 2016Pro tip: do not get the fried chicken here, super hard and salty, pasta is a better way to go
my fav local spot. good for brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks and apps. have yet to order something I don't like. plus awesome staff.
