I went there several years ago. I remembered it being a place I wanted to take my wife to. While in the area I got worried if it was as good as I thought it was. Into the deli and asked if they were still seating at 15 before close. Up the stairs we went. The staff were busy preparing the place for Sunday breakfast but they dropped everything and started to look after us. Most places we would have felt like a burden, not here! Yes we were looked after so they could get on with setup, but wow the food was better then I remembered. Staff were busy with cleaning and prepping but still each of the three stopped a few minutes to ensure we were happy with the food and then pleasantly chat about whatever. I felt they were happy we dropped by. Food... Montreal smoked meat was really smoked and spices were flavourful. French Fries were close to perfect, side gravy was real scratch! Loft club was not a classic club, it was in bun with real chunk of ham turkey and bacon. Team bacon likes the bacon... Worth the 3.5 hour drive up from Calgary. My wife wants to go again....
Read moreI have now been here twice. The first time was not a great experience but 2 years later I figured I would give them a second chance. That was a mistake. Went in today with my Dad for breakfast and with only a hand full of tables taken it took 45 minutes for us to get our food which was a simple breakfast ( eggs bacon toast) and when it did come the eggs appeared to have been sitting under a heat lamp for half that time. The meats were completely tasteless, which if profound. How bacon can be tasteless is mind boggling but there was NO TASTE... Not of salt, not of a smokey flavour, not of maple, tasteless. It was as though it was boiled and then microwaved. Waitresses were somewhat friendly but also zombie like. Coffee had to be requested, cutlery came only after the food was on the table. Let's just say they won't get a third chance to make a good impression. Pretty sad to say but going to McDonald's or Tim Hortons would have been...
Read moreI REALLY wanted to like this place, but last visit has got me turned off. My First visit was over mothers day brunch. we had a reservation for first thing in the morning, HOWEVER we didn't actually get to eat until 30 min in cause they didn't even have all the food out so they made us wait. and we only got an hour to eat. oh and they never had the crepe table open till right when we left. I thought I would give them another try so: 2nd visit : visited on Sunday around noon for the brunch buffet. (figuring it would be a better time to get food) WRONG. most of the buffet was empty and the stuff that was left was cold and hard. never got any refills on drinks either. It was a $50 bill for me and my 8yr old daughter who barely ate anything since everything she liked was out. I guess its time to try a different place. anyone have any...
