I've been here twice so far in the past month. I'm pretty sure I would come here at least once a week if I lived downtown.
What an amazing experience both times. The food was so good, I got the same thing twice: The Indecisive with Lemon and Blueberry Pancakes, because how perfect is this for someone who is insanely indecisive especially when it comes to food (aka me).
The server on my first visit was nice. I already thought highly of this place after but wow, the second time our server was Shawn who absolutely made the place even better. He was so friendly and had this great demeanor from the moment we sat down to when we left. He checked up on us, made sure everything was good, and talked to us about our weekend plans. We let him know we were thinking of seeing Project Hail Mary and he insisted on us going and yep, not only is his service great, but so are his recommendations. Amaze amaze amaze!
Will definitely be back (again and again)!
The menu is creative. Food preparation and presentation is inspired. I had the Truffle Duck eggs Benedict Which were sensational. Service perfect. Atmosphere comfortable. My only criticism is the latte and good was warm not hot. That seemed curious as it is an open kitchen. Highly recommended.
It's a great place to have breakfast/brunches. However, the menu is a bit pricey. I would say that’s because food inflation is high and the portion is large.
Favourite brunch spot in Toronto! Highly recommend the spicy chicken Benny, smoked salmon and caviar omelette, and blueberry lemon pancakes.
Service is always spot on and most recently our server Crystal was friendly and fun and made the experience great. Even though they were closing after a crazy busy Saturday her energy didn’t drop.
Atmosphere is lively and the place is usually packed with a waitlist to get in.

Pretty busy spot. Ordered the pancakes which was a bit too thick for my liking. The bennys are pretty unique and very flavorful. Not the best value given the other restaurants in the area but it definitely passes the vibe check.
