I have visited mains mansion a number of times for breakfast or brunch. That's what this review is going to talk about, the brunch.
The inside is decorated like an Irish -ish pub. Hardwood floors, stain glass windows, bar, etc. You can definitely tell (and sometimes smell) that it is probably mostly a pub at night. There's also a huge patio to sit at in the summer. Its never really been that busy when we've come, bit we tend to go a bit earlier. It's usually when we are ready to leave that's when it starts to fill in more.
It's located on main Street Markham, not main Street unionville. There's some on street parking, and parking on the side, and back of the building.
I have only come with girlfriends for brunch usually before heading off to paint lounge or the farmers market.
With one exception the brunch is great. I prefer coming here than going to Cora's. Cost seems to go from a yogurt parfait for 12.99 (its huge) to an eggs Benedict platter for 24.99. My favourites are the classic breakfasts. Three eggs, toast ( regular or French), and a platter of fruits. Yum!. The yogurt parfait is also huge. For sure shareable. Breakfast sandwiches are really great too.
Only thing we didn't like, the waffle. It's the same price as the classic and sandwich breakfasts. You get one dense, bad tasting waffle, a blop of whipped cream, and a couple of pieces of fruit. Not the best. The one thing I had that I did not like.
Service is spotty. It's never been what anyone would call good. Usually the wait staff is just standing around talking about the night before or what's up that night, or gossip about someone that works there. Usually you have to ask for coffee refills and bills. It seems like its because we are usually a table of women. We have noted that tables with men get more attention. I guess they are hedging their bets that flirting will get them bigger tips?
All in all great place for breakfast, waffles excepted :)
Just came walking down Main St Markham for Pan-Am Fridays and stopped here for a beer. Stella on tap and allowed our dog on the patio. Good enough for me for a good rating. Obviously if you want a food review, check others. Waitress was nice and they have a live band on Fridays so worth a check out, sure.
For Sat or Sunday breakfast/brunch the best in the world. Or at least Markham!!!! Awesome worth a visit
