Universe Restaurant

Pretty good breakfast and great service! We had the crab cakes eggs Benny, and the Montreal smoked meat omelette. Crab cakes had nice chunks of real crab, nicely fried, and eggs were soft and runny. Montreal smoked meat in the omelette was just OK, the table next to us had a meat plate combo breakfast of some kind and the Montreal smoked meat was sliced nice and thin how I'd expect, but in my omelette it was all thick chunks and they weren't very tender which was disappointing. Omelette itself was nicely cooked, the hashbrowns were very good, reminded us of fries in Montreal, and the coffee was pretty good as well. Our server was super friendly and very quick. Overall would go back, but would order differently.

Late lunch on a rainy day. Interesting and different menu with lots of great choices. Smoked meat omelette on my side with nice fresh fruit and fried potatoes.. Nicely prepared and lots of flavour. Crepes with apple and cinnamon got rave reviews on the other side. A refreshingly simple and easy place to be. Settle in and enjoy the time.

Came here for breakfast with our kids. The restaurant was severely understaffed. There was a single server for the whole place, including accepting payments. (Absolutely not her fault management understaffed. Poor girl was run off her feet) On the plus side, the food was good and I got a Hawaiian mimosa which was delicious. As a professional note (former server), our young children were last to be served food and it's good practice to serve the small children first. I might consider coming back without the kids but I'd probably go somewhere else first

Mother’s Day Sunday, and the restaurant was severely understaffed. We waited 15 minutes to be acknowledged by staff and were seated without any menus so just looked at the menu online. The two staff on floor were very disorganized and didn’t know whether we had our drinks or food order taken. It took them half an hour to bring us drinks and we decided to cut our losses after seeing plenty of other tables waiting on food. Food portions appeared to be quite generous but I won’t be giving it another chance to see if it’s worth the wait. Dine at your risk! I would give this 0 stars if I could. No photos to be provided as we did not get any food.

Disappointed that we weren’t able to confirm if this would be our next favourite hole-in-the-wall. They were severely understaffed for Sunday brunch, and though we were extremely patient, we cut our losses and left without ordering as there were multiple tables ahead of us still waiting for food after nearly an hour. The food that came out did look good, just a shame that they couldn’t keep up. There were other parties that walked in and chose to leave after not being greeted or seated.
