My 4 year old daughter said she didn't like it... she loved it! A standard way to compare brunch restaurants is by the quality of their eggs Benedict. Dessert first uses premium bacon, homemade Hollandaise sauce, perfectly poached egg, fresh homemade English muffin and fluffy yet crispy crunchy potatoes. It is the best quality brunch I believe I had in ottawa.

A fantastic find! We went for our daughter's birthday. The food was good and the service exceptional, but we would have liked to see a children's menu. The birthday cake was outstanding, and not just visually; it was delicious.
