What an establishment! Quite embarrassed that having been in living in the city for 15 years and it has taken me this long to uncover this gem of a place for brunch. What I love about this place is the ambience and how spacious it is - the wait is almost non-existent or short even on weekends. The food is delicious, generous portions and please do yourself a favour and get their apple pie milkshake. The servers are amazing and food comes out pretty quickly. 10/10 this is one of my favorite spots for breakfast/brunch.

Good Size portions.The milkshakes are so good! I was very happy and hungry 😋 I loved and enjoyed the Atmosphere music, with that Classic and Vintage style the diner has. Beautiful! I had a comfy spot seat all to myself. I would definitely come again. Thank you Teresa

This ‘meal’ of two grilled cheese and two side of soup and two sodas cost $78. In what world, at a diner, should a grilled cheese and side cup of tomato soup (tasted like it was just poured out from a can) cost this much. I feel like we should’ve been told that it would cost this much or been offered to sub the fries for soup, instead of paying for both a sandwich and side of fries (and not receiving the fries). The service was fine, nothing special and the places feels like it’s fallen somewhere they can’t bring it back from. Too expensive

the ambiance is really great — very classic diner, chill, comfortable — and the staff is very very friendly ! the quality of the food is about what you’d expect for a diner (but prices are on the higher side) the apple pie milk shake is quite unique and a really nice treat . it’s sweet but the flavour isn’t too strong, with a good apple taste and very subtle cinnamon-iness that didn’t overpower it at all. the best part was that you could taste the remnants of the apple pie — chunks and slices of tart, softened apple, and thick, lumpy crumbles of the pie crust. the lakeview clubhouse with double chicken was absolutely STACKED. it had many components that made it unique, like the thick, soft, toasted, slightly sweet challah bread, and the nicely-fried chicken coated in cornflakes, giving it an extra crisp. the first few bites were delicious, but honestly i found the chicken to be really dry in the end, and the THREE layers of bread (appreciated, but a bit much) made it just a bit too heavy. the juiciness of the tomato and mayo helped a bit, but it also made the chicken/bread soggy. the onion rings were super duper good though — really, really crispy and fresh, great with the mayo dip.

Overall this is a great restaurant. I’ve been before and will come back again I’m sure. If you don’t have kids this may well be a 5* place. Maybe they’ve changed the kids menu recently but I was very disappointed with the pancakes. For $6 the serving, on what looked like a teacup saucer, was no more than 3 bites for both the 4 and 6y/o I was dining with. We ended up ordering the adult pancakes on top, which they shared, for an additional $19, and that’s probably where we should have started. For $19 the adult pancake stack is a very generous stack of 6 pancakes, each more than 6” diameter, as well as whipped cream and maple syrup. I ate the dry rub chicken club which was very good, particularly liked the freshly prepared chicken breast and the very fresh bread. A little small compared to other diners but you can’t argue it isn’t filling. Atmosphere is 5/5 - this is a proper old school diner with mostly booth seating and period features The staff were friendly and attentive, service was good overall. Only knocking off 1 star as perhaps the server could have played a role advising on how small the kids meals are.
