Had my wedding here. It was everything we wanted. Amazing venue, they even agreed to our pizza buffet idea for dinner. And wow they made good pizza!
Good food, decent price, and great setting. A bit noisy and Sunday and Saturday mornings can have a 20 minute wait, but there is a nice waiting area with seating. I usually walk over, about a mile, so it is a pleasant wait when it happens

Went for Sunday brunch because it was such a nice day. Arrived about 11:00 to find out a lot of people thought it was a good idea. There was a 45 to 60 minutes wait, but they will text you when your turn comes us so my wife and I spent a pleasant hour strolling in the English Gardens. The fall flowers are out and it is a beautiful spot for a nice walk.
We got the call, and were seated. The menu is not too extensive, but nice and basic brunch items, they have added beef brisket since my last visit and my wife had the Eggs Benedict with brisket while I went for the brisket sandwich. Both were tasty and the meat was done nicely. The hollandaise sauce had a slightly different taste to it, something extra we were not used to and could not identify, but it went well with the meal. The sandwich was not quite enough so I added a side of their potato fries, very nice pan fried potatoes with a bit of caramelized onion. Bottomless coffee and great service. I'd go again, but maybe a bit earlier. When we left about 1:30 there was a very long lineup to get in. Lots of cleaning and sanitizing between customers and of course, POV and masking enforced.
Yhe biggest appeal of this place, at least for me, is the location and view. They've done a great job with place. The food is done well, but because of the crowds, don't expect a quick in and out. If you want a seat, it's best to arrive early, otherwise expect a wait. The staff are attentive and helpful. I appreciate that they try to implement locally sourced ingredients into the food. The saskatoon jam for the toast was stellar.
Pretty normal cafe menu and prices - but much better quality of ingredients. They have good gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Settings is beautiful.
Amazing view with plenty of parking. The restaurant serves good food from breakfast to sandwiches at a very affordable price! In the summer you can even go on the patio.

We had our wedding here, and it was perfect. Our guests absolutely raved about the delicious food, the friendly service and the stunning decor. We hardly had to decorate because the space is so lovely on its own, with an amazing view of the park that only gets better at night. In addition, the staff was wonderful. The park staff was very on-the-ball making sure that we had everything we needed in the months leading up to the big day. The manager greeted me when the wedding party arrived and let me know that he was there for whatever we needed. We are so glad that we held our wedding in such a beautiful and well-run venue.
Was in a wedding here over the weekend it was such a beautiful reception. Service was on point food from pass around through to late night snack were amazing! The flow of the room was perfect and everyone was so impressed. I've been here for food when it was open for regular hours and it was really good to. For a pretty blank room they can sure transform it. The only thing is the acoustics were pretty weird with the speaker and DJ at the wedding.
