We didn't know anything prior to going here. There is a 20% VIC Values & Integrity charge on the bill. No one told us about it beforehand (and yes we were asked if this was our first time here prior to ordering). The waiter explained at the end that it covered a lot of things and allowed them to give fair wages to their employees. I am all for that, but it would've been nice to know upfront. In addition, the sales tax was also on the 20% charge.
That being said...
The Bottomless Mimosas and Bloody Mary's for $15 were enticing, but after trying the Bloody Mary, I'm glad we only got one. There is "pickled pumpkin" on the garnish, but it tasted like really raw pumpkin and was enough to ruin the whole drink for me. Ick!
I got the preservery omelette with potato croquettes. The meal was very bland and nothing to write home about. The potatoes may have been better with more sauce. My dish was $13.
My fiance got the breakfast burrito ($16). It came with a side salad that had candied pumpkin (at least this pumpkin was cooked and had flavor), but the salad had a strange dressing on it that we weren't fond of. The burrito was decent, but certainly not worth $15.
Overall, we probably will not return to this establishment. It's very "hip" and is decorated nice inside, but it was way too expensive for the quality of food we were given.
