The Chilli Crab Toast was surprisingly similar to the rice. The waiting time can be long, and the food might take a while to arrive. However, since we were in a group, we had a great time chatting and entertaining each other while we waited. Overall, it was a enjoyable experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Very refreshing not to have to fall back on 2 eggs and bacon with wonderbread as per every other brunch place on Earth. I opted for the Birria Hash and Spicy Crab toast. The Crab Toast presents as a kind of omlette draped over crispy toast soaked in butter. I devoured it before I thought to take a photo. The hash was excellent as well and made it into the photo above. The food here is delicious and fresh and obviously prepared with care and attention to detail. A quick note on the service Piper was friendly and welcoming. She demonstarated a skill which I find is a lost art in restaurants post covid: witty banter. It's rare these days to interact with a server who knows how to entertain at the table. Otherwise the service was prompt and efficient, but not overbearing. The barista was also involved and delivered my drink, looks like she was running all the coffee herself which is a nice touch. The decor is fun to look at and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. I had a bit of deja vu regarding the facade of the bar and realized I dined in the location before when it was the restaurant known as Farm (RIP). Nice to see that some of the history of the location remains with a fresh take. I will be back for sure! Thanks for a great brunch. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Brunch

The back is like a small Cafe. Parking is street parking. The Bannok Benedict was really interesting! For sure a place to try if you enjoy a good brunch with girlfriends or your partner!
