The Wooden Spoon

Food was good, but I could have done without the host/manager lurking around all the tables with a tablet in his hands. I don't know what his purpose was.
The tables are already pretty close to each other, so having him squeeze in between or stand around felt like a bit of invasion of privacy. Seemed like he could have just hung out at the front or behind the counter and been just as effective.

The food is such high quality fare. Fresh, tasty and not your typical breakfast at all. When I go back to the US, I will not be able to eat out for breakfast after eating at this place- it was that good.
I ate here twice and the first time I had the Vegetarian Hash and the second time The Wooden which was eggs, bacon and obviously fresh hollandaise sauce on a cheddar chive bun. It came with perfectly cooked potatoes and a small salad. The service is excellent. I knew it would be busy so I came during off hours. Parking is tight. Another reason to not come during peak times.
Honestly, I felt like I was eating food from a 5 Star restaurant. I have been so impressed with the food in Canada in general but this place really stood out.
I don't have a picture because here is another thing I noticed about where I was in BC. People didn't have their phones out a ton like they do in the US. People were actually having real conversations. So I didn't feel comfortable getting my phone out to take a pic and that is a good thing.

Love you, Canada. The USA could learn quite a bit from you.

We came on a Saturday with no reservations and got a table after around 10 minutes outside on the patio.

We ordered the salmon Benedict, classic Bennedict with bacon and tiramisu French toast

The eggs on the benedicts were a hit or miss. We all ordered medium but we got one egg that was hard. I wish there was more hollandaise sauce on the benedicts. I loved the scone/biscuit on the bottom. Much easier to cut than the English muffins that are usually provided with eggs benedicts. The potatoes were also nice and crispy. I like that they provide ketchup and hot sauce.

The tiramisu French toast was really heavy and good for sharing between 4 people. It's not overly sweet and there's a tinge of sour in it which helps to balance it off. It was missing that much needed crunch. Either from the French toast or a topping of some sort.

Nanaimo drink - I would pass on this. It didn't taste like a Nanaimo bar instead it tasted like watered down alcoholic coffee. Don't get this.

Overall I thought that the brunch was not bad. Service was really good. There's lots of free parking around. Would recommend for brunch

We were out at White Rock last weekend as it was sunny and we wanted to enjoy the sun, view and go for a walk along the pier and promenade.

We originally wanted to go grab some Greek food but the restaurant wasn't open, even though their sign says they are. We decided to come here as we were hungry.

We were seated right away. The place is a nice quaint little spot, just off Johnston Rd. Our server was efficient, easy-going and had good recommendations. I got the farmhouse breakfast and my wife got the pulled pork hash.

The food was good, her hash had lots of flavor and the pork was tender. What can I say about my plate, it had your typical breakfast items: eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, potatoes, etc.

My friends and I were visiting British Columbia for the day and we had a lovely meal here. Our waitress, Jessica, was amazing. She answered all of our questions about the menu, especially the Caesars. We thought they were salads, turns out they are cocktails. I had a mango based Caesar that was delicious, then our wonderful waitress brought out a taster of a Caesar that was like an American Bloody Mary. Also delicious, and so nice of her!
For our main courses my friend and I had the vegetable hash that was phenomenal! The veggies were flavorful, and it was a fun healthy meal. I had the vegan version with avocado and couldn't have been happier. My friend opted for scrambled eggs with hers, also delicious. Since I was in Canada I had to have poutine. It was alright, but a little too salty for my taste. Fortunately with the veggie hash I had more than enough delicious food.
Overall a great place to have a meal after a day of exploring.

This is the second time we've been here and it was better than the last! The breakfast burger was huge, had a tasty sauce on it and the burger meat wasn't dry, eggs were fluffy. The French toast was sweet and savoury with the maple syrup and hollandaise, eggs, bacon.

It was full inside the restaurant so we got to enjoy the patio on a sunny day! Service was quick and friendly. Would love to visit again and try other menu items!

The bay Benny with guacamole, prawns, tomato jam is to die for. I asked for extra hollandaise and they delivered! It's so buttery and lemony, and I'm so glad they made the switch to potato wedges! Service is excellent and fast. Food came out piping hot and my eggs poached a perfect medium. You must come here!

The classic burger is fantastic! Service was friendly and prompt and and atmosphere very relaxing and inviting

I really, really, really wish that something like this existed when I actually lived in White Rock. The cocktails were fantastic, the food quality is outstanding, and I am so excited that they're going to start preparing dinner. I actually might hire a babysitter just to go and eat there at night.

The bartender is awesome and actually made our lunch date. I wish it hadn't taken so long for me to get there, but I will certainly be back.

Also the sweet and salty french toast? That is some destination eats (and also doable for this home cook in the meantime, sorry not sorry)

What a gem of a place.....

The person who seated us seemed a little unwelcoming but everything after that was absolutely FANTASTIC !!

Ordered Drip Coffee with steamed milk, The Early Riser Breakfast Sandwich with Fries.

The coffee was nice and hot and asked for steamed milk which they happily provided in a cute small mason jar (see photo), the taste of the coffee on a cold day really hit the spot..

The breakfast sandwich was done perfectly with bacon and eggs and cheese... what a delight..

The ambience was good but our hostess was above and beyond. She took super good care of us and was very kind, polite and welcoming..

Looking forward to coming to this place again and trying more eats...
