The menu was completely changed from the last time we were there before the pandemic & I preferred it then. My companion enjoyed the French Toast very much this time very much. Our server was very charming though.
We made a reservation & were seated as soon as we arrived. Drink service was a bit slow but it was to be expected as they were busy. Drinks & brunch dishes were delicious. We had poached egg froie gras & panko French toast, both were exceptional. Service was friendly & atmosphere was nice. Highly recommend!

Everything good except it was weird that we couldn't have the bagel prepared without cream cheese. They refused to just leave it off, & accommodate someone who has a hard time digesting dairy. They said it would ruin the integrity of the dish. They suggested we choose something else to order. My friend ended up getting the bagel, so as not to cause a disturbance to the group, & was sick the entire next day. When you're paying almost $30 for a bagel, you should be able to leave off the most expensive ingredient, especially if it's a question of someone's health.
Excellent! J'ai trouvé que les portions sont beaucoup trop grosses par contre. Je préconiserais de plus petites portions à un prix légèrement plus bas.
I was in town for work & made plans to see family & decided to book brunch here. We both had a wonderful time. Got there a bit early & they already had a table for us. The server was very friendly, great & attentive. & the food was phenomenal...delicious from beginning to end.
First time at this place after being recommended by my partner as "fantastic." The bagel was dry & old, very hard to cut. The cheese in the sauce was almost non existent. The fried chili was oily. Overall a not very impressive (& expensive) experience.
Nourriture exceptionnelle & services fabuleux. Les Lattes sont délicieux, toutefois, les 5 reçu étaient froid. Note: votre barista est extraordinaire & aucunement en cause.
