Can only speak on their brunch, I have been here over the years a few times. After going recently I found portion sizes and quality doesn’t fit the price.The eggs Benedict came out with just egg, meat on an English muffin (no veggie or topping, did not look very appetizing) and 3 small breakfast sausages. $19. I ordered a farmers omelette that tasted pretty bland. Overall, I can make this type of brunch at home for much cheaper. There are also other spots in the city with better prices and larger portions/tastier with the same home style served here.Unfortunately because this place is so busy for weekend brunch I don’t think they will be changing the price or increasing portions or quality any time soon.I will say the cinnamon bun with bourbon sauce is quite tasty. Service was also prompt which I appreciate.

Finally tried this place and sadly I was very disappointed with my food. The ketchup style stuff they served was awful. No one ever checked in on how the food was, so we ate what we could, paid and left. Unlikely to return.

It's a little hipster-ish, but the food is good & the service was decent. The prices aren't sky-high, but they do seem to reflect that you're sitting in a trendy place by the U of A campus.

If you don't get anything else out of this review, please just know that the cinnamon buns are freaking amazing.That said, I've been to High Level a few times, always for breakfast. The coffee is meh, the huevos are meh, and the eggs benny are decent. None of the food (aside from the cinnies) is knock-you-outta-the-park good.However, I was really put off by my last visit - went early (~9am) on a Saturday, knowing it gets busy and wanted to beat the rush. I went as a solo diner, and felt like I was put into an out of sight corner and forgotten about, and then rushed to leave once I was finished eating. The waitress was already cleaning the table off before I stood up. Secondly, about a quarter of the way into my huevos rancheros, I found a long black hair in my mouth (not mine). That was really unappealing. The huevos started off ok, but eating the rest of it had me gagging.The cheque came to $22 before the tip, for a coffee and the huevos rancheros.

Ate here with my wife. Service was good at the table side. Waitress and host were fast and polite. Kitchen was a bit of a disappointment. We were in there with 5 other tables and they all had food already, except one, but it still took almost 30 minutes to get our food.They have a ton of gluten free options as well as a dedicated gluten free fryer. I really appreciate it as someone with Celiacs.Unfortunately the food was average and below average. We split a burger with onion rings and the chicken fajita entree. The chicken fajita we both enjoyed and I would give it 3.5 stars. The burger and the onion rings were a bit of a disappointment. Onion rings were a good try using chickpea flour but they were either over cooked (the flour was completely separated from the onion and the onions were burned on the inside) or the oil needs to be changed in the fryer. The burger my wife liked. I liked the mushrooms and the gouda but the meat was overcooked and tasteless. Like the meat had no seasoning on it whatsoever. Burger and onion rings gets a 2 star.Edit : As an afterthought, their house made ketchup is very plain. which it had a little more zip to it.Parking is free behind The Garneau. We came here before years ago and had about the same experience so decided we would not come back but with all the GF options we had to give it a try. I might give it one more try to sample some of the other GF options but I am leaning towards not.Dietary restrictions: A ton of GF options and a dedicated GF fryer. Probably the only reason I would give this place another try.Parking: Free parking in the lot nearby as long as you sign in. it fills up fast as there are not a lot of stalls but its a nice perk.

Always so darn good. One of the best vegan burgers in town (also delicious vegan curry) and good portion sizes for a very reasonable price. Very cute and cozy and a perfect place to enjoy a tasty coffee.

Atmosphere and service were great but I ordered the green curry and it was very disappointing and I rarely complain... there were barely any vegetables or sauce, the rice was overcooked, and it looked like it was sitting under a heat lamp for awhile. I expected more as I have had much better experiences there in the past but maybe it was because they were busy.Parking: It's a busy area but if you can find a parking spot behind Garneau theatre just sign up at the diner.
By far the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was great! 10/10 would recommend.
