    Green Omlette
    Wendy T.

    It was the first time I tried this place. I heard good things drom my friends. Ambiance - 3/5: it is a very small place so the spots are tight. It's an open kitchen so that you can see the chef preparing and cooking food. They have a shelf of ingredients and mini models of the old movie players. There are 2 bathrooms and can be used by all genders. One of them is an accessibility washroom. The bathroom is clean. Service - 2/5: we were seated very quicky and it was relatively quiet when we got there. It started filling up later on. The service overall was very slow. The food took 30-45 mins to arrive. Many customers were waiting too and looking bored. Initially there was 1 cook, then there was 2 and the food was still being cooked slowly. By the time the food came, my partner's coffee was finished. Food - 3/5: we ordered the green omlette and the morning frankfurter. Both came with a greens salad and tri-colored home fries (regular potatoes, purple potatoes and yams). The salad was ok, the balsamic vinegar is sweeter than usual. The home fries was lightly salted. The omlette came with a choice of toast. I chose buttered rye. It was very dry with a small amount of butter in the center of the rye. I thought the green omlette was going to come out green but it's a regular omlette. It has cheese on it but it didn't add to the omlette. The hotdog was not bad, the spicy mayo on the sausage was tolerable. Overall: 2.75/5

    I visited today and it felt like a pretty mediocre brunch experience but it had the appeal of being connected to Hillcrest Mall and plenty of parking. Walked in at 10:45am on a Sunday and got the last indoor table for 4. Was told we had a 75min seating limit, which was fine because the food came in a timely manner. Overall, nothing stood out among all of the dishes that we ordered. The chicken waffle was a bit dry in my opinion - the accompanying "maple barbecue sauce" had a kick of heat and was oddly paired so I didn't enjoy it very much. I would've preferred if they just gave me plain maple syrup. It also didn't come with any mixed greens or vegetables so felt a bit lacking for $24. Portions were reasonable but not generous by any means. The strawberry french toast and crab cake benny were also pretty standard - nothing particularly noteworthy. Given their slightly higher price point for brunch service, I think I'd rather try someplace new next time.

    I've been to Ramona's Kitchen original thornhill location in the past. This was my first time coming to this location. I brought my gf and the wait was around 20-25 min (don't quote me but I don't think they take reservations for brunch). Visitors put their name down and can then take a stroll through the mall before getting a call when their table's ready. IIRC, this unit used to house a starbucks. It's very cozy (actually verging on tight tbh lol). If you're coming for brunch or breakfast prepare for it to be absolutely packed. Menu-wise, the selection is expansive and there's a lot of choice. My gf's crab cakes benny were cooked perfectly. The crab cakes were crispy, the hollandaise was creamy and the shrimps were juicy. I ordered the dad's breakfast and loved that I was able to get my eggs poached at no extra charge. The strawberries french toast that came on the side was A+ as well! Overall, I think this location is almost as good as the original. The service was great, the food was fresh, dish presentation was cute and the wait time wasn't too bad! A very solid brunch spot! I've never been to Ramona's for dinner but perhaps I'll be back in the future to try that dinner menu.

    Located at Hillcrest mall, this cute café offers brunch dishes at affordable prices. There is typically a waitlist to get inside of ~25min. The waiting staff took out number to call us back but wrote down the incorrect phone number, however when we went back to check, they were able to seat us right away. The service wasn't out of the ordinary and the dishes were mediocre - looked nicer than they tasted. I wish the potatoes and salad dressing was more flavourful as they ran bland and dry, and the hollandaise sauce was flavourless. A+ for convenience but lacked in flavour. I ordered the southwest eggs benedict which came on sweet potato instead of toast which I enjoyed. They also don't allow substitutions for any dishes on the menu. The iced coffee was lackluster and waterdowned with ice at $3. Would not recommend.

    Came for Sunday brunch!!! Got there early, so parking was plentiful! Farmers markets just outside of the mall. The restaurant was smaller than I thought, it was cozy though. Like really cozy, right up next to the next table cozy. Food was good, good portions. I was satisfied. Service was good, the servers and greeters were amazingly friendly and nice. Yeah I would come back if I'm in the area, it was nice. It does get busy though, so come early, get your food and walk it off after in the mall

    Nice and cozy environment

    This restaurant locates in Hillcrest Mall, and is quite close to a mall entrance. I went to the mall with my husband and our baby son the other day and decided to give this place a try. Noticeably this restaurant allows the stroller to be in. The service we had was great - our baby started crying shortly after we were seated. Our waitress brought us hot water so that we could gently warm the milk to feed the baby (picky eater he was, he refused to drink room temperature milk!). Really appreciated the help we received. The hot water normally would come with a cost ($2) though we had the water for free. Admittedly I was surprised that now even hot water became a chargeable item...when did this start? Food was quite mediocre, unfortunately. We ordered pesto pasta and fish & chips. The pasta tasted greasy as there was the very unnecessary addition of mozzarella cheese lumps on top of the oil-based pesto sauce. The pesto itself was also not tasty at all - the herbs were heated and lost the color and aroma. Fish & chips seemed okay at first glance, but it turned out the fish pieces were very small and dry. Fries were fine though.

The vibe inside is cozy and relaxed with a modern café-bistro feel. It's bright, welcoming, and definitely lives up to the name "Chillax." It feels like the kind of place you can sit and enjoy a slow brunch or a casual dinner without feeling rushed. For brunch, two dishes really stood out. The braised pork eggs Benedict was fantastic. The pork was tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the creamy hollandaise and poached eggs. The gochujang fried chicken brioche burger was another highlight. The chicken was crispy with just the right amount of spice, and the soft brioche bun tied everything together. We also came back for dinner and tried the seafood paella, which was rich, comforting, and packed with seafood. It's definitely a great dish to share. For drinks, the cheesy mango ice matcha was surprisingly good. The mango adds sweetness while the cheese foam makes it creamy and indulgent. A really unique combination that works well. Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, with most dishes around the $20-$30 range. Overall, it's a great spot for brunch, dinner, or just drinks. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

We arrived at the small plaza with a small parking lot today (Saturday) around 10:15 a.m. & luckily enough, it was a quiet start to the day as parking was plentiful though I can imagine it being a bit hectic during busy times. This location (there are 2 others) is in the plaza right next to the Richmond Hill location for AI Sushi. As soon as we entered, we were promptly greeted & seated at a nice corner table. Shortly after that, a nice gentleman came to placed a QR code at our table asking if we've been here before. After we said no, he explained to us how to order using the QR code. We can all scan and order individually then it shows up as one large order for the table. I think he said he can split the bill if needed & we would just need to let him know. The place itself was nice. A bit above casual with around 20 tables inside. Well light and seemed clean. I ordered the Thai red curry pasta with clams, hubby and our friend both ordered the chicken and waffles, and my cousin ordered the mushroom benedict. We all ordered a drink (hubby a flat white with the rest ordering some type of latte). Our food came pretty quickly. My pasta was delicious and had good heat (spicy kick) to it & the red curry sauce was full of deep rich flavors. I enjoyed the clams but they were a bit small so it's taste got overpowered by the sauce. I would have preferred it if they gave me fewer but larger clams. I had a taste of my hubby's fried chicken & it was really good. The batter was well seasoned & crispy but not oily and the chicken thigh was moist. The staff know what they are doing there. We were asked whether we are enjoying our food & they always made sure our water glasses were full. I highly recommend this place & am looking forward to my next visit there!

When we arrived it was busy and there was one table open near the entrance and were told we could have that table once it had been cleared. There person who seats you also takes your order, brings your order to the table and clears the table. There was another person preparing drinks and we only saw him come out from behind the counter when there were no drink orders. It took a while for her to clear our table. At one point she stood behind the counter with a look on her face that could be best described as '...what do I do first..' What was ordered: Kale Caesar Salad - fresh croutons with generous bits of bacon; very lightly dressed Chicken and Waffles - 2 drumsticks and a breast served with 4 pieces of waffle and a small side salad Shrimp Eggs Benny - 2 deep fried shrimp patties; served with baby potatoes and a side salad The chicken was very crispy and still juicy but based on the colour of the fry the oil needs to be changed. It came with 2 small containers of syrup (not real maple syrup) and some that looked like plum sauce. The potatoes on the eggs Benny were good but when you deep fry the shrimp patty you wonder what other filler there might be in the patties. Service was decent despite the fact that there was one person who served and cleaned. An okay experience....not sure it warrants another return.

The eggs benedict like the TPA and GTA is tried and true and are the most popular. So if you want to be safe, that is a tempting option. However, we went for something unique to Hazel's instead we got: - Hazel's hash $16 - The peppers, jalapenos, and chorizo make this dish pack full of flavour and lighter and more unique than just eggs with potatoes. I mean, they put their name on it, so it's good! - Caker $15 - I didn't expect I'll like the Caker as much as I did. The sweet and savoury works! I love the moist pancake drizzled with some maple syrup. I'm usually not a big fan of plain bacon since it can get overly salty, but the combination with egg and pancake balances the flavours here, making it super comforting. Laaren, who took our call and served us, was full of energy and friendly, which tops the whole experience. We asked and learned more about him and found out it's just his first month at work. I'm glad people are getting back to work with the reopening of Toronto. As you sit down, you can smell the faint scent of lemon, so it seems like the area is diligently sanitized after each seating. I see complete COVID-19 protocols and signs in place. All servers are masked, and we were adequately socially distanced.
