Worth the Price for Amazing French Toast!
My experience at this restaurant was definitely pricey, but I can confidently say it was worth it. I ordered the big hip deep fried French toast, and it was incredibly delicious, tasting like a donut or funnel cake. Despite a "newer" host facing some difficulty with rude customers, he was amazing and super friendly, handling the situation like a champ. The entire staff showed amazing coordination, even though they were extremely busy with a line wrapping around the building. They provided great customer service, and my food arrived about 5 minutes after ordering. I would definitely come here again.

Tasty but Ridiculously Overpriced Breakfast
My experience at this restaurant was that the food was tasty enough. However, the price for breakfast for two was $123, which I found to be the most ridiculously overpriced meal of my life. I'm sure there are diners serving equivalent food at a third of the cost.

Great Food, Service Needs Improvement
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was very good, and I especially loved the Rosemary bacon. Wow! However, the service could have been better. I had to ask other waiters for help, which was a bit inconvenient.

Phenomenal Brunch, Worth the Wait
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially regarding the food. The brunch was phenomenal, and I've never been let down by the food quality. The vibes are great, though be prepared for a potential line, so it's advisable to go earlier. The noise level is on the louder side, which might not be ideal for everyone. Service was rated a 4, and food a 5, indicating a strong preference for the culinary offerings.

Phenomenal Breakfast with a Bacon Quibble
My experience at the restaurant was phenomenal! The overall breakfast was high quality and delicious. I tried the millionaire bacon, which was a little spicy and had a thick ham texture rather than the crispy bacon I prefer. However, this did not detract from the overall breakfast experience, which I highly recommend!

Disappointing Service and Mediocre Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite negative. The service was incredibly slow, with a wait of nearly 10 minutes just for a server to approach the table. From there, things only went downhill. I can't imagine anyone willingly standing in line for this place, as the food was mediocre at best.

Sweet Maple's Bacon is a Must-Try!
My experience at Sweet Maple was absolutely fantastic, living up to the hype as a premier brunch spot. I indulged in their famous deep-fried French toast, the Big Hip, and it was a culinary triumph. The exterior was perfectly crispy, while the interior remained soft and warm, complemented beautifully by pure Vermont maple syrup, butter, and powdered sugar. It was pure perfection. However, the true standout was the Millionaire Bacon. It was, without a doubt, the best bacon I have ever tasted—rich, slightly spicy, sweet, and incredibly flavorful. I highly recommend getting a side of this bacon, even if you don't order a full meal. It's a must-try and worth the trip for this alone!

Overpriced and Average Food, Noisy Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was overpriced and very average. The atmosphere was noisy, reminiscent of a school canteen. My meal was over salted, and the coffee tasted burnt. The sign on the wall was also shocking.

Disappointing Experience, Not Worth the Hype
I’m going to be quite brutal; my experience at this restaurant wasn't good at all. If I’d waited more than 30 minutes, this review would be even worse. Honestly, it just wasn’t worth the hype or the cost. Someone in our party ordered the soufflé and described it as one of the worst egg dishes they’d ever tasted, stating the whole dish tasted like a gross skillet. My omurice was underwhelming and not as described. Overall, I recommend avoiding the lines and the disappointments.
