The urban sugar shack (cabane à sucre urbaine) brunch was very disappointing. Bland food, missing key items like ham and bacon, the terrible coleslaw was mostly wilted iceberg, my tea cup was dirty, dirty bathroom.

She then realized she never gave the order and made a mistake and said “oh we will make it now there’s been a mistake”. So you’re telling me we’ve been waiting this whole time and you never put an...
