1. Initial impression of convenience, parking, and location.
- Huge parking space as this restaurant is located in a complex filled with many different types of businesses.
2. Wait time to be greeted, seated, and first impressions of staff.
- We waited approximately a minute to be recognized as people waiting by the door. There was no sign to tell us whether we should seat ourselves or wait to be sat so we waited.
- A woman that ended up being our waitress approached us and instructed us to sit anywhere.
- We found an unoccupied booth and plopped our butts down.
3. Type of seating, comfort, wait time for server introduction.
- The booth was padded on the back but not on the seat. The lady sat on the side of the booth that shared the frame of the neighboring booth and was shaken every time that patron shifted. The booths were still comfortable for sitting.
- The tables bothered us as they were decorated with local business names and calling cards encased in Phantom Zone glass.
- The server revisited us with coffee in hand in good time.
4. Variety of menu options (too many/too little)
- There were two pages of choices for breakfast, which is just the right amount. It shouldn’t take you an hour to decide what to eat.
5. Menu highlights of uncommon items.
- Croissant French Toast
6. Speed of food delivery, and first impressions of plating, initial aroma.
- Part of the food was delivered within a reasonable amount of time, the lady’s home fries were apparently not done yet and did not arrive with the sandwich. The server took a cheque from another group of guests, and disappeared for 10 or so minutes before heading to the kitchen to fetch the home fries. The gentleman’s french toast was lacking the requested whipped cream.
- The plates were not overburdened with food, there was plenty of space available.
- Smelled of breakfast.
7. TASTE!
- Coffee. Meh. It was not the worst we have had, but it was far from the best. We did not feel the need to quickly travel elsewhere to get good coffee afterwards.
- The gentleman's Croissant French toast was quite delicious. The dish was originally sought to be altered by adding blueberries but when the server proposed all fruits he couldn’t resist. Blueberries, peaches, bananas, and strawberries were added with glee. Whip cream? Just a little please we shouldn’t over do it. Bacon was ordered and three strips delivered. It was very crispy and that was good. It may be the prefered way the gentleman likes his bacon. He may Sally Albright his bacon next time and ask for it in this specific manner.
- The lady decided to change things up again this morning, and instead of the standard two egg with meat, she had a breakfast sandwich. It was made up of linguica, egg, white cheddar cheese, and a grilled English muffin. There were also home fries on the side. The English muffin ended up becoming soggy on the underside that had rested on the plate. This could have been a result of not allowing sufficient resting time after grilling before putting the egg on. Needless to say wet bread is gross. Linguica, as I have discovered, is one of two types. It either has a chunky gristle interior, or a sausage/hot dog type texture (which I prefer) this linguica was of the first variety. I did have a few occasions where I had to pull a rock hard fatty bit out of my mouth. The home fries were nothing to call home about. They were hard, but in a undercooked sense, and not a crispy fried deliciousness sense. They were seasoned with far too much salt, and adding ketchup only intensified the saltiness and did nothing to improve upon them.
8. Value of product.
- The lady received a valpak coupon booklet which included a ‘buy one get one ½ off’ for this location, which is the only reason this location was chosen. The prices were fair, and not overly expensive/
- Coffee $1.99
- Side of bacon $2.59
- 2 eggs and meat n/a. The only option similar to this was home made corned beef hash with eggs for $8.59
- Muffins n/a. You could get a croissant for $1.99
9. Payment options.
- Cash
- MC//Visa/Discover
Overall Rating: 6.5/10
We were trying to stay away from using a ‘.5’ in our ratings, however, the gentleman much preferred his breakfast over the lady. She would have provided it with a 6, and he would have chosen a 7, thus we split the difference. Canterbury Cuisine was not inedible, however it would not meet our standards of ‘cuisine’. We were not aware it existed before we ate there today, and we will likely forget its existence soon.
