I reserved a table for my girlfriend & me, & we were served very quickly. The service was excellent, especially from Alexis, who took great care of us with superb attention. The food was delicious we had pancakes, French toast, a filter coffee, & a mocha which fully justifies the 5 stars for both cuisine & service.
However, I gave 2 stars for the ambiance. The floor manager, Frédérick, kept ringing a small bell multiple times with every order while shouting'Service!' loudly. It created a tense atmosphere, & we could clearly see the waitstaff becoming stressed by it. The energy around the kitchen felt heavy, as his stress & frustration seemed to affect the whole team. I believe the manager should consider a calmer, more respectful way to signal that an order is ready. It would greatly improve the overall dining experience & support the staff's well-being
Great food & service. You can read posts by other people for food ideas.
I recommend getting a reservation because it can get quite busy. If you don't have a reservation, get there as early as possible to avoid the noontime lunch rush.

Best pancakes of my life, simply amazing. I gave 4 because they placed me at a bar table while half of the tables were empty, I don't like that. Ah, & it's expensive, like 30$ for two pancakes with tip&tax, but it's ok you can see their menu online before going.
I didn't expect a restaurant in a food court to be so good but it really was yummy! Friendly service & good portions of good tasting breakfast food, highly recommend
Le service était vraiment bien . Un jeune serveur français dont je n'ai pas pris le nom malheureusement mais très attentionné. Les pancakes 🥞 un pur bonheur ! Le bagel au saumon était bon . J'y retournerai surtout pour les pancakes??
Autant on avait été enchanté par notre visite au restaurant de St-Henri, autant celui-ci laisse à désirer.
Personnel froid, snob & antipathique, j'étais curieux d'essayer un vrai bon sandwich au poulet frit étant donné que c'est devenu un de mes sandwichs préférés. Le pain challah soutient une excellente poitrine de poulet frit à la perfection. Salade iceberg, classique & bien choisie pour ce genre de sandwich.
Le problème, c'est le prix: $35 (taxes & service) pour le sandwich, pas de boisson, un pickle en extra (qui était ordinaire), ça fait cher pour un repas du midi & le rating en a souffert. La bouffe est 5/5 mais le prix débalance l'équation & donc ramène sur la moyenne à 3/5. Rien de négatif, juste trop cher.
En comparaison, Mitch Deli fait le même sandwich pour $14.
Correct mais sans plus.
