We were just seated and they did not tell us there's hardly any food left on the trays. I asked our server until what time they refill their trays and he said should be up to 2pm but there were so many people and short kitchen staff. I told him that its disappointing should let us know just to order from the menu. We paid full price for the buffet ( almost $72 for 2 adults and 1 kid) and I saw 2 people coming in close to 2PM and same they just show them to their table and did not inform them no food left. Food taste is not great bland . We will not return there and will not recommend the place. Go somewhere else there are other Filipino restaurants that are better.

I've noticed the Epic Market under construction and today I was able to try it out. I met a…read morefriend for brunch. Brunch is offered on Saturday and Sunday, otherwise they open for lunch (closed Mondays). Epic Market is huge. This will be a very popular place for the Whyte Avenue crowd as there are so many options available depending on which floor you enter. We were on the second floor today for brunch but the first floor, which has a similar look and feel, has a Mexican menu. It opens for lunch at 11:30am. It's a unique concept for Edmonton. The server said that they've opened similar restaurants in larger cities like Toronto but Edmonton is their first venture into a "smaller market". The brunch menu was interesting with some unique features and some typical offerings. I had the Pork Bennie, for $18.00 in 2024. The prices are quite reasonable for the type and quantity of the food. My bennie was good. My only criticism is that a special house ketchup would have been a nice touch. The service was excellent and we had a nice view of Gateway Blvd out the window. The coffee includes endless refills which is good because the cups were not very large. I'm sure the vibe is much different for dinner than brunch, but based on our experience, I'll definitely return.

My mom and I shared some french toast as well, and it was so yummy! It was fluffy and soft, very edible so it was gone before it went cold. The service was excellent. There was one lady serving people but it's a small place and she managed it so well it didn't even feel busy, so that was not an issue. She was super sweet by the way! She got honey for my coffee and such. Overall, its a good place to go. Not too expensive and its got a lovely, quiet family atmosphere. If I can, I will return!

The place definitely has an old school diner vibe going and that's not from clever decorating. This is an old school diner. We didn't want breakfast and I think that is their specialty so we each ordered the clubhouse sandwich. It came with soup and fries. The soup was from a can so that's not impressive. The sandwich was okay though. Service was prompt and friendly. The washrooms were clean. That's about all I can say. If you are nearby and hungry, by all means stop in. However I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to dine here.

Luckily, we went on a Friday mid-morning after arriving in the city and got seated right away. However, the restaurant was full of patrons and people kept coming in. Lots of free parking in the complex as well. Their menu is extensive and has very unique Asian fusion flare: from Korean to Filipino to regular breakfast dishes, you'll find something here. We ordered the peach cobbler French toast, the Fili breakfast bowl, chicken and waffles, a bacon, Benny, and short rib hash. They also have a good variety of drinks. I ordered my regular oat milk latte and was satisfied. Everything we tried was really tasty so I highly recommend this place! The highlight for me was probably the crispy potatoes that are cooked in duck fat. It was really delicious!

Thankfully for this trip, it was for work so we paid less than what normal people would pay. Love the staff, love the environment, the features of the room.

I don't remember a single issue that could not be rectified by the very competent staff. It used to have a really tacky purple and green exterior... which I kind of miss to be honest! It definitely stood out. It's nice and sleek now and is definitely an improvement (not everyone has the same tacky taste as I do!). The staff during events always go above and beyond to make the guests comfortable and ensure they have a good time. They are very accommodating. If it's in your budget, the Top of the Inn is a gorgeous venue for your wedding. Great views of the city with windows all the way around the room.

We would go back in a heartbeat, just need to sleep off the food coma for a while. It's bright and airy in spite of the smallish space and the amount of booths and tables, oh and you can sit at the counter. The walls and ceiling are covered in memorabilia, concert banners and what not. The place was absolutely hopping at 12:45 PM, but we were sat in a booth right away. Waters dropped moments later, asked if we needed coffee, tea or whatever else you wanted to drink. Our server was fantastic, explaining and educating us as we were first timers. The food came out piping hot very quickly and our tea ordered after the food was dropped came in a large teapot and hot just like at home. The clubhouse, which I did not have, has house made ham and turkey according to our server. My corn beef had slices of corn beef that did not taste house made, but the sheer volume of meat I couldn't finish, the eggs were cooked perfectly.
