Taste a bit salty today from both meals and not well seasonednWill give it a try next time as so many referrals to herenMay get crowed towards noon time

I had been hearing a lot about this brunch restaurant and finally decided to try it with an old buddy. The experience was even better than expected. The staff were warm and welcoming and the place had a comfortable vibe that made it easy to sit and talk. I ordered the pork spaghetti Benedict while my friend chose the avocado salmon Benedict. Both meals were generous and full of flavour and we left feeling very satisfied. The coffee was a highlight for me and I kept refilling my cup because it tasted so good. I had around four or five cups and felt full of energy the entire time. Overall it was a perfect outing and one of the most enjoyable brunch experiences I have had in a long time.

Place came highly recommended by friends, but the food was a let down.nnOrdered the Jam Jerk Chicken Skillet and Waffles.nThe Jam Jerk Chicken was too salty. We couldn't finish the plate.nWaffles were average.nnService was good. They forgot to serve the coffee we ordered. So they promptly removed it from the bill and offered us free coffee to go.nnOverall, there are many other places with better food. I will not queue up again for the below average food here.

I’m not a “wait in line” person, but this place is ACTUALLY worth the wait. Do it! There’s a reason there is always a line. Portions are huge and delicious. Service is great. If you’re torn between sweet and savoury, you can order a savoury meal and then add a single “Cinnamon Bun Pancake” at the end… you’re welcome :

Walked in on a rainy Thursday afternoon and managed to get a table without waiting while eating, a line started to develop!nnWe decided to order one sweet and one savoury. We got we got the tater bowl with pulled chicken and the cinnamon bun pancakes. Both portions were quite big. Between 2 people, we couldn’t even get through the pancakes after the tater bowl.nnThe taters were a little mushy, and the dressing on top was a tad too tart for our liking. There was a good amount of chicken though. And the eggs were cooked well.nnThe pancakes were huge!!! 3 of them stacked and each of them was about 2x as thick as a regular one. Because they’re so thick, they tend to get dry. Especially if you try and cut through all 3 at the same time. Definitely needs more syrup on top!nnOverall, I don’t think I would go back, especially if I have to queue up.
