I ordered the Spicy Dill Caesar (my American friends, get on board already) and the Ribeye Hash and my wife got the Forager Benny. First off, Armaan has a gift as a Spirit whisperer and made me the only tomato based drink I have ever liked in my life! And then the Whiskey Sour he made later had the right proportions, ingredients, and presentation of a well crafted cocktail. The food was insane. The service was professional but friendly & comfortable. And we can't wait to brunch here again. Also sorry for the empty glass pic. The cocktails were so good I forgot to take a pic until I was done.

All staff were great / my friend is Celtic so it's hard to eat out sometimes but the 3 servers we encountered were all well versed in how to deal with this. I follow a low carb diet so it was more difficult for me to find something to eat. I ordered the pulled pork hash on greens - it was good but super sweet unfortunately. No demerits to the Spoon for that. I could have ordered a side of bacon. My latte was good and we got to sit in the sun.

Didn't stay in because it was loud but I liked the ambiance and would enjoy hanging around there on a quieter day.

Food-wise, it was solid. I went with the schnitzel, which I'd recommend overall. It arrived nicely prepared and paired with spätzle (think German-style mac and cheese), which was rich and comforting. That said, the schnitzel leaned a bit on the salty side, so your mileage may vary depending on your preference. Service was fine but didn't particularly stand out, and the pricing felt slightly elevated for what's offered. All in all, it's a good option if you're in the area and craving schnitzel, but between the distance and parking situation, I'm on the fence about making a return trip.

Despite the gloomy weather, we had a great time! Loved the decor of the place, and the windows overlooking the bay, the cute flowers and lanterns on each table and the presentation of the food itself. The pakoras were plenty amd perfect to have with the mocha and masala chai. We were stuffed already! The Bombay Masala toast was heavenly. Toasted to a nice crispness and could see the butter shining on top. The panner chili filling was really good and close to what we get in Mumbai. The owner was really nice and we had a long chat with her about the place and White in general (since we're new) Plenty of parking outside.

While the food is insanely good, the service is extremely slooooow. They take slow to a new level. 3 tables were occupied when I was there. While the server was quick to seat customers and bring menu, they were super slow in taking orders. Priority seemed to be to seat customers. I didn't realize two tables did not have their orders taken yet so it took a while to get to me. My coffee mug had lipstick stains on it and it took a while before I could catch the staff's attention to have a new mug. The classic and pancake breakfast are inclusive of coffee (refillable) which are pretty good at $16 inclusive of tax. I decided to get the pancakes. The bacon was made perfectly, one of the best I ever had. Crispy and not oily. The pancakes were fluffy. Eggs done over easy. Food was really good and portion was decent. I could not finish my pancake. In hindsight, I should have gotten the half order. I like that they have that option. 2-hour street parking is available. And it is CASH ONLY. They put up plenty of signs around the restaurant to remind customers. And the staff knows the regulars by names. Very nice. Come here if you're not in a hurry.

Ambiance is small cafe seating, indoor & outdoor. Kinda loud depending on who's dinning in. Anyway, I will be back again!

We were unsatisfied with the meal as there wasn't much flavour, smoothie was very bland and had chunks of ice in it, the soup tasted like water with one small chunk of chicken and maybe 6 noodles. Over all, we did not enjoy the meal and we let our server know as our plates had lots of food leftover. We were very kind to the waitress about it all it was no big deal to us and were not asking/looking for a discount but she was kind enough to take some off our bill! We appreciated it and made sure she knew it wasn't her fault. We made a review on google as have so many others! This was the response we received from the owner. We are gutted at not only the blatant disrespect but also the accusations made against us that are completely false. There is a lot of confusion around the wording of this response as it was just the two of us! All in all this was extremely upsetting to read and do not deserve this response in the slightest!

Great ambience and friendly staff. very comfortable setting and great spot for catching up with friends. We ordered the egg benedict with bacon as well as the avocado toast. the egg benedict was very well made and the hallandaise sauce was great and went very well with the egg benny. The ring shaped harsh brown was cute and crispy. (forgot to take picture of the benny) The avocado toast was served with sliced avocado, which is exactly my preference, instead of the smashed avocado. The balsamic vinegar on the arugula was well balanced. Minor downside were the eggs. the eggs on both the benny and avocado toast were slightly overcooked. Would love it to be a bit more runny.
