Amazing brunch! We had the mimosa flight with 4 different juices, eggs Benny and shakshuka and all of it was delicious. Regular coffee refills and an attentive server with great recommendations made it such a relaxed experience.

WARNING: pancakes are so so bad. They broke a record on being the absolute worst baked good I’ve tried. And I am an awful baker.

Had a lovely experience here, the staff were great, very personable and nice. The food is delicious and there's a ton of options. The prices are great too, you cant get a quality burger for 10$ anywhere else in the city. I highly suggest the milkshakes and mac and cheese 😍

My first visit here and I can't wait to return! Everything was delicious and so much more I want to try. The burger and onion rings were perfectly done!

Delicious food! Large portions! comfortable dining area! Service was fantastic! When you want an old school diner breakfast this is the place to go!

Classic breakfast with a side of hollandaise - absolutely amazing service!

Dining room was packed on Monday mid afternoon and food came out quickly and I couldn't help but destroy it! The fresh parsley in the hollandaise gave a really nice flavor.

Perfect afternoon brunch before adventuring downtown halifax!

Revisiting here for brunch and the pancake was overcooked and dry. The inside just taste like flour and I couldn't even finish 1/2 of one. That and it took 30 mins to come out despite being one of 3 customer in the restaurant.

This place is a joke. Service is brutal.

I used to love this place but more recently it’s very disappointing. Came here with friends and the service was extremely slow (1 waitress staffing the whole place). It took an hour until we got our food, and none of us liked our meals or drinks. One friend returned her food because they messed up part of the order, and it took so long for the new plate to come out that we had all finished eating and had to sit and wait for her to eat. Finally, our waitress (who was lovely but clearly tired) gave us water halfway through the meal and the water glasses were extremely tiny, which one of our party pointed out, saying the glasses were “cute and tiny”. The waitress laughed and said “yup, the owner thinks larger glasses would waste water”. That says all we need to know about how the business is run. It’s too bad, this used to be a great, well-priced restaurant but it seems too many corners are being cut for it to run well.

Kinda sad. We came from out of town wanting to eat here since we heard it was good. We came in after a long day of shopping and we arrived 1615h on a Sunday afternoon on Jan-5-25 only to be refused service, the guy said that it was too late for dine-in. There was only one table being used and the rest were empty and there was a whole 45mins before closing. I've never been to any restaurant refusing dine-in service with almost an hour to closing. Perhaps if we were a shade lighter would have been different story. What a shame.

Great food! Service almost always fast and pleasant. Good sizes, reasonable pricing, fun easy menu.

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience here. When my partner and I arrived it took a while to be seated though there were only 3 tables occupied in the whole place. We didn’t mind at first as there was only one server working. When we were finally seated, a few other couples and groups entered and were seated right away. They were also given water for the table but we weren’t and the waiter took their orders even though we had come before them. We were still waiting for her to come around even as the waiter tended to the other customers several times before us. We waited patiently and wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but for some reason she kept going to the other tables and leaving the dining area without coming back to us. I don’t want to assume anything but we also happened to be the only people of colour in the place and were also seated on the other side of the dining room away from the other guests. After waiting a while to even be acknowledged we decided to leave before ordering as we did not feel comfortable or respected in that place.
