Complimentary Mimosas for all!

Cita's Italian Chophouse is now serving complimentary Mimosas with brunch on Sundays.

They are open Saturdays and Sundays for brunch from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and daily they serve lunch from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm.


If I remember right, George's in the Grove offers complimentary champagne and/or Mimosas if you mention the Grapevine when you sit down and Focaccia has complimentary Mimosas on Saturdays.

Confusing. I would just enter any place in the Grove and say Tom from the Grapevine sent you and you would like a complimenatry Mimosa with your brunch or breakfast. I think they'll do it if you mention the Grapevine. Please report back here and let us know if that is the case.

Our brunch experience at Cita's yesterday was far from yummy. I was amazed to read here that the Mimosas were complimentary. Our party of four was charged $9.00 apiece for them.

It would have been nice to have been informed while ordering, that the entire brunch menu is a la carte.

This fact is not on the menu, nor did our server see fit to share this knowledge with us.

At the time we had brunch, we were the only people inside the restaurant. It took 45 minutes for the kitchen to produce 2 classic eggs Benedict, one smoked salmon eggs Benedict and one egg croissant.

The eggs arrived accompanied only by a strawberry, a single raspberry, and a paper thin slice of orange.

If you're hungry, as the men in our party most certainly were, this is not the place to be. Unless you are willing to spend a fortune for breakfast.

The kitchen managed to send out the classic eggs Benedict without the requisite Canadian Bacon.

The meal was over when the server appeared via Toronto given the time he was gone, with two (should have been four)slices of Canadian Bacon. We sent them back.

A brief conversation with the manager simply added insult to injury. He apologized, offered nothing (a cup of coffee might have been a nice gesture) and suggested that we fill out a comment card and mail it in.

To recap, we had four egg-only entrees, five Mimosas, and tap water. There was no bread on the table (love the hot baguettes and jam at George's!), we didn't have coffee. Our check was $91.00.

It was a whole lot of money for a whole lot of nothing. With mediocre food and lousy service to boot.

We look to support Grove restaurants. It's hard to cozy up to a place like Cita's. Needless to say we won't be returning.

I feel so sorry for your experience at Cita's but we usually go to Greenstreet, George's and Focaccia! Try them for the same breakfast you can cut your bill in half or less and have a delicious breakfast!!!!

George's eggs benny is money in the bank. Greenstreet (I love their little hash browns) has pretty good breakfast too as does Foccacia (awesome quiche).

George's is a favorite of ours, as is Focaccia. We thought we'd give Cita's a try after looking at their brunch menu last week after we had breakfast at George's.

As previously mentioned, we like to support our local restaurants. After one overpriced for the quality dinner at Cita's, albeit with much better service, and what can only be described as yesterday's screw-job brunch, we'll be dining elsewhere in town.
