We were greeted by our waitress as soon as we walked in. She told us we can sit where ever we want. Our waitress were polite and attentive. We ordered the veal cutlet, poutine, and, the egg benedict. Food came out pretty fast. The poutine is pretty much just fries with gravy and a little bit of melted cheese. There is no cheese curds what so ever. It is definitely not a poutine. Overall, the food were just decent. Pretty good value. Decent portion for the price.

I love the environment here- wood paneling, nice Halloween decorations and clean floors and restrooms. We ordered the cheese omelet with home fries and onions, French toast with whipped cream and strawberries (devoured by our toddler) and the Belgian waffle with sausage gravy (sounded weird to me, but was glad I ordered it because it was delicious). With 3 entrees and 2 coffees, the bill was around $35, which I think is quite reasonable. Would definitely recommend for breakfast!

I went in with high expectations based on previous reviews of the food, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to them.

For the prices charged, the quality was disappointing. I ordered the Country Mix, which was quite tasty, but one good meal out of three is not enough for us to return. Sadly, we will not be back.

Three of us ordered Thai chicken and my wife ordered the Bangkok bowl. The ingredients were fresh and carefully selected, as the dish had a slightly sweet curry sauce on it. The chicken thigh was on top of a bed of short grain brown rice appropietly cooked for the dish. Veggies such as broccoli and eggplant were around the edges. The Bangkok bowl was slightly different as the samosas had a fair amount of heat to them. The waiter recommended mixing them with the rice and fried chickpeas, which worked well. For dessert, the rose and cardamom coffee glee had little rose flavor. I asked and they said it was infused as well as the garnish on top, but I failed to taste it. Ditto for the chocolate orange ganache, in which I could not taste the orange flavor. No points lost, the deserts were still better than average, not too sweet.

There are many fun odd pieces to view. When we were about done the chef from the restaurant came over very nice guy, he showed us the hidden jazz club which was awesome!!

The staff insists that "it's well worth the wait," but the real question is: is waiting over an hour for food truly worth it? After placing our breakfast order around 10:40 AM, we eagerly anticipated a plate of fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon, but alas, time marched on. In fact, it marched so slowly that I'm convinced we slipped into an alternate universe, where time doesn't exist and food is just a mythical creature. By 11:45 AM, we were staring at the menu again, now featuring lunch items, and questioning whether breakfast is merely a figment of our imaginations. To make matters worse, the entire experience felt like a tourist trap--no pun intended--where dreams and appetites go to die. You know it's bad when you start contemplating whether the omelet and pancakes you ordered actually requires a passport to arrive. By leaving time (6pm) we contemplated making a pit stop on our way back to see if they were finally prepping our breakfast, we had resigned ourselves to the cold reality of gnawing on our own disappointment. Don't get me wrong; I appreciate a good mystery, but I didn't sign up for "Where's My Breakfast?" as the main feature of my day. So, if you're looking for a place where you can enjoy a leisurely meal that may or may not arrive before dinner service, this gem is for you. But for me? I'll be sticking to an actual looking glass, where at least I know the reflection of my breakfast is not just a cruel joke. Never again. Nope. Edit** we walked down the road to Antonio's pizza, the place was packed but Magee to find one empty table. Upon sitting down our order was taken within 2min. Our food then took 10min until it came out. We were blown away! Antonio's for the win!

Entry way.

This place went down hill, all because of the crazy owner. While I was trying to enjoy my meal I could hear her yelling at my waitress. Such a turn off! The only reason why people still come here is for the waitresses. If you want cheap food save yourself the headache and go to Cherry's Sunset Family Restaurant.
