So Harry and I have finally gotten our acts together and started reviewing again.
Today's stop was Over Easy on Bloor Street. It's across from the Rom, between St. George and Museum stations. Warm and cozy, you're greeted quickly at Over Easy with first the quiet atmosphere and then by a table and a full pot of coffee - to keep at your table. Definitely a reason in itself to love this place.
Many of the breakfast choices are inventive and different from what you'll find in most other egg and bacon places. Eggs baked in cheese sauce, or eggs poached in port with pearl onions. Interesting choices.
I had the Eggs mushroom and cheese sauce since the waitress pooh-poohed my original choice, and Harry had the standard Big Breakfast. We both got freshly squeezed OJ that was very, very good.
My breakfast was too rich and indulgent for my tastes, but a change from what I'd usually go for and a welcomed change at that. Harry liked his as well, but wasn't fond of the scrambled eggs. My ultimate pet peeve reared it's peevey head at me in the form of uncooked eggs under all that thick salty sauce.
The portions were very large and the service was nice and not overbearing at all.
Harry and I may have been slightly generous with this place but we gave it at 7.5/10. Coffee and a friendly staff can go a long way sometimes.
