The place has an old school vibe which is nice, very ma and pa. The blonde waitress we had seemed like she was in a rush, she did not take time to properly greet us or introduce herself was straight to business, which we would have no problem with but she did not take time to listen to our orders, even when she sent busboy back with our drinks ( he noticed it was wrong) he went back to get me a tea instead of coffee except she didn't specify on the details that it was a green tea not black. When she came back to take our food order, that is when the rudeness came out. My boyfriend asked about milkshakes and she simply says: "its in the menu", without taking the time to show him where as he was visibly lookong for it... he even responds... I don't see it? Instead of listing the options 4 big options for him... She walks away to give him time to find it and choose. She comes back a few seconds later, and now i had a question about the juices (if they had freshly squeezed - fyi- they don't) and about the smoothies. Again, she answered curtly and walked away. My bf got pissed, and she ruined the great mood he was in. In the menu, it states they use wild berries, yogurt, and honey except what was brought to me contained apple juice and no yogurt or honey. Finally, I had to ask a lovely older woman waitress to correct the drink orders and my boyfriend asked if she can serve us instead of the blonde. The blonde came back with the smoothie I had sent back after i told her there was apple juice in this, before i can say please just make it with water no need for yogurt or honey.... she walked away with the smoothie. All she did was add yogurt to the same smoothie. She came back, put the glass on the table, and rushed away. I then got annoyed and sent it back and said, "Forget it, it's not working for the smoothie." That's when the older lady personally made a smoothie for me without honey, juice or yogurt and offered it up as an apology - that smoothie was very good ? (not too sweet and just lovely) We truly appreciated that and it was the only reason we did not get up and walk out. We also appreciated that the blonde came to apologize at the end of our dining for the smoothie mixed up, except she forgot to apologize for her demeanor with us... We just wanted to have a chill, relaxed Sunday brunch, but her attitude was ruining our experience. She had misinformed the waitress when she transferred the orders to the older lady. Thank goodness for that lady. She was smart to double-check with us prior to putting the order in, or else we would have had an extra eggs benedict to pay for. The only reason I gave this place 3 stars instead of 1 is because of the service and kindness of the older brunette waitress, the nice busboy and the hollandaise sauce, in my spinach eggs Benedict was good, however the potatoes were dry and not that great, english muffin was a little too grilled made it hard to chew or cut through. Important to mention when my bf went to pay the bill, the tall ball guy was also pretty rude to him. This solidified our resolve. This is not an experience we would like to relive or recommend. It's a shame as I had high hopes based on the reviews... now I think those reviews were probably from people still drunk from the previous night or that they came on a day where more pleasant staff were working. We arrived as late brunch around 2 pm... people were still waiting in line once we were seated. When people go to restaurants, a certain level of service is expected as they are spending almost 30$ each for something that costs less than 10$ to make at home. Before demanding a tip which the blonde clearly did not deserve make sure you LISTEN to your customer's needs. I've been in customer service for the last 25 years... I've done it all retail, waitress, bartender and teacher, of you don't take time to establish a pleasant rapport with the customer they will never come back in my experience....Repeat customers bring more customers... food for thought to

Highly recommend. it's better to be there for breakfast, and I think they need to add a sign to clarify that they will sit you if the group is completely there. The waitress asked me many times if our missing companion was going to be long. It took her a long time to understand that those of us who were there were going to start eating without waiting for whoever was missing.

If you are in the mood for a good old-fashioned breakfast, this place is for you. I simply wanted eggs, sausage, potatoes, bread, and lots of fruits, and I got them here. I love going to different breakfast places, and this is now my new favorite. It’s simple, clean, and delicious. The staff are really friendly and caring.One thing I will say is that it wasn’t a problem for me; my boyfriend found it hard to sit and eat due to the narrow space.

It is one of the best brunches in Montreal especially if you were an early bird.

Amazing ! I've been in Montreal for 6 months and I've never eaten so well! I think it's the only restaurant I'll miss when I go back to Europe.

Dominque is a rude waitress, she needs to fix her attitude and we would have a better experience.
