Just wanna pin down a good experience (maybe for next time visit). I can feel local vibes here, very cozy and authentic. There are reviews saying the place is usually packed and has long wait time but luck for me, I didn’t have that issue.Food was fresh and tasty but calamari was a bit salty to me.Sure thing this location is worth coming back when I have chance to visit Elora.

I had heard a lot about their unlimited brunch and wanted to try it. It is tapas style breakfast, which is quite average. I won't say it is bad, but maybe not worth the drive from Brampton. I found their toast to be good, especially the cream cheese and berry one. The eggs were disappointing, especially egg Benedict. The French toast pudding was super disappointing as it was totally not worth the long wait as it was just cinnamon filled soggy bread only. Service at the start was good, but as it started to get busy, wait time for items increased considerably.

This was our first stop and I must say this place is worth more than one stop! We had heir boozy brunch and it was phenomenal! It's all you can eat with a very respectfully big menu and every item was absolutely fuego! The ambience was very cozy and inviting. Great setup and the servers are brilliant. They work as a team instead of table by table and they live up to the name friendly" Gaby was a gem. Highly recommend this place on your stop in the beautiful town of Elora!"

Nice little eatery in elora, the food was good and plentiful, we started with a charcuterie board which was very good and the mains were good too, the Caesar salad was alittle dry but totally edible.The only downside to this establishment is its in the basement and the stairs going down were VERY steep for my elderly mother .

We had a great time. Wonderful food, great ambiance. Top class service from Brandi. Somehow, she seemed to know when we needed a coffee refill :).I made the mistake of not informing her about us being vegetarians, and cheesy fries came with crispy bacon. But without any hesitation, she replaced it. Thank you, Brandi, for a great time we had because of you. And fantastic food.

All you can eat brunch- $39 with two drinks (mimosas). Restaurant has a very cool atmosphere. Chicken and waffles were yummy (ask for two pieces of chicken for a better chicken to waffle ratio). Eggs were freshly cooked. The side dishes were by far the best. I would skip the toasts and the fruit salad.

Had a great first visit this morning for a family girls brunch. Glad we made the reservation weeks in advance because this place is phenomenal and I can see why it's so busy! The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Staff was very friendly and kept up with the many orders that got put in.Highly recommend this place for the brunch!

We visited this place for the first time July 2nd with good friends of ours ( party of 4 ). This place is absolutely amazing in the beautiful Town of Ellora. Our server Brandy ( oops Brandi) was absolutely fantastic and made us feel so comfortable. She was extremely polite, explained how things work and ensure we had a great experience. Food was excellent, ambience was wonderful, staff was very friendly. It was a really busy time ( around 1.00) but Brandi had things under control and made sure she stopped and updated us as to when the food would be coming .Overall a great experience and would recommend it for sure. Brandi it’s quite obvious that you are a people person and passionate about what you do. Wish you the best and look forward to visiting again soon.

Overall a good experience. I’ll start with the positives.Atmosphere is fantastic and the vibes are immaculate. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome. Our food was definitely good. The Buddha bowl was fresh, wings were tasty, and the fries were delicious. Thin cut crispy fries are done perfectly here if that is your preferred style. Although we had to wait about 45 minutes for our food, we were kindly offered a free drink on the house.There are a couple things that could be improved. The wait time was quite long but… I understand they were understaffed so that is very forgivable and I wouldn’t expect this on most visits. Don’t let it deter you from coming here. The Buddha bowl was good, but not as flavourful as I would’ve liked to experience. Additionally the menu on google needs to be updated, the prices have increased quite a bit (see picture of updated menu). It is understandable for prices to increase but they should remove older pricing from google so customers aren’t mislead.Overall a fantastic place to visit, but this is not a lower-priced restaurant. The food is good, but slightly overpriced for the quality and flavour. I’ll be back though!
