Honest - Raw -Review - I ordered the Eggs Benedict from Skip the Dishes in the morning with them. The food took some time, and I didn't mind waiting. When my order arrived I was quite excited to try and ended up disappointed. I will start off with the good, enjoyed the hollaindaise sauce nice sweet creamy taste. Tomatoes were nice and fresh, thick cut. The bacon was not too bad. The egg though I asked for semi-hard and got runny. The bun however tasted like they had grilled it on a grill that had left over oils on it, it had a fish like taste :( I couldn't eat it at all fish was not on my appetite for the morning. The hasbrowns tasted like the grill very oily, fishy and not the best for my stomach in the morning. If I was in this restaurant I wouldv'e returned my order but since I wasn't I accepted it.

It's very disrespectful and unprofessional as a manager and owner. We will not go back, too bad as the fare is good, we simply can not condone this behaviour.

Read moreJust wanted to give a shout out to Vincent & Tracy, owners of Cafe 8 all day breakfast. I always order the Eggs Benny all day Breakfast with perfectly grilled Bacon and shredded Hash Browns. Yummy! I recommend this restaurant and would like to let others know that they are suffering at the moment due to ongoing road work on Johnston Road. The Road is completely closed to traffic, no parking in the immediate area and access is difficult if you have mobility issues. This has caused great losses for the businesses affected in the area and Cafe 8 has seen their flow of business decimated in the last few months. Please make an effort to help this business and the many others affected during this difficult time. You will certainly enjoy your all...
