  This is a breakfast/brunch place. It has a very cool typical old school diner feel which I like. There's lots of seating available, although it's pretty busy on the weekends.
  
  I got the sunshine breakfast which comes with 2 eggs, a lot of bacon, bread, home fries and COFFEE! I love when endless coffee is included in the breakfast. The servings were big! And the food was really good!
  
  It is extra for egg and rye bread (50 cents) that I wish I knew about (not that it would stop me from getting it as it's only 50 cents but it's always nice to know about the extras before). The egg bread was delicious and well worth the extra 50 cents by the way.
  
  The service was very fast and courteous. I would definitely recommend coming here for breakfast if you want a big breakfast on the cheap ish side.

  I always wanted to check this place out as I walk by almost everyday.  As I was walking by today, I was hit with a craving for pancakes.  I decided it was time to try.
  
  The place inside feels like a classic 50s era diner.  There are not many of these type of places around anymore, so that was fun.
  
  I ordered my eggs and pancake.  Unfortunately, it took 45 mins for my breakfast to come.  The place was pretty busy, but it felt like a considerably long time considering I was one person with one order.  I was looking around, and there were no real big groups waiting for their food, so I don't think the kitchen had a proper reason to take that long.  Atleast when the food came it was still warm so that's good.  
  
  The waitress was nice and came around and refilled my coffee several times as I was waiting.
  
  The food was tasty.  Pancake was nice and fluffy, and the potatoes tasted as if they were home made.  The scrambled eggs were pretty creamy, as if they had been mixed with milk or cream prior to being thrown on the grill.  My only disappointment was the bacon, the slices were very thin.  
  
  My lower than usual rating is a result of a couple of things.  First, my food took a long time to come.  Second, the thin bacon.  And third, they don't accept debit.  I understand this is at the discretion of the owner, but it was annoying for several reasons.  They do have an ATM in store, but it wasn't able to read my TD debit card so I had to go outside and get cash from another establishment.  That was the first time that happened to me, and it was fairly annoying. The waitress was very nice about it, and accomodating, so good on her.
  
  In the end, what I thought would take maximum half hour (ordering breakfast, eating, and paying) ended up taking a lot longer because of the long wait and them not having debit.  I don't think I'll come back.

  Basic spot for great brunch choices that vary to whatever your fancy is.
  
  This is a cash only place only. Had a classic breakfast with eggs, bacon, toast, home fries, and coffee. 12$. Would say if you're looking for something more classy there are plenty of other spots, but Bramasole is a tiny gem of itself, locally owned and operated, it gets the job done and fills you up.
  
  Make sure you give yourself time to get a seating if you're going on the weekend, however our party of 6 didn't have to wait very long so that's a bonus.
  
  Would go back again if I wanted a quick fix and wanted to go easy on the wallet.

  If I can put -10, I would. I've been to many places in Ottawa.  This is by far the worst one I've gone to. The waiters are absolute rude. We patiently waited for 1.5 hours for our food and when we finally asked they said it's on the grill. It's STEAK for 20 minutes. It does not need to be on the grill for this long. The waiter did not show sympathy. Not once did she apologize that we had waited 1.5 hours for our meal. We were a quiet group. Did not disrespect anybody. There would have been no reason to be grumpy towards us. Please step up and improve customer service.
