Bacchus Cafe & Wine Bar, St.Albert, Alberta

Im starting to get a bit confused about places with "cafe" in their title.  I at least expect a nice espresso...however i have assumed wrong....
So Bacchus, first impression, i kind of get an Italian/Mediterranean vibe from the menu. Decent prices.
I find that sometimes places try to create a cozy atmosphere, but dont succeed.  The black and cold silver walls might be whats sucking out the cozy.  Or perhaps the florescent green blankets on the couches.  Also when im having breakfast at 10am im not really interested in having wine bottles and grapes in my face.
Nice waitress, cute plates of food, I appreciate the attempt to create a nice dish, however felt it to be slightly childlike.  Then when i turned to see the chef, i understood why, he looks about 16 years..tee hee.
Anyways, the food was good, i had apple cinnamon porridge, my parents had the frittata, and fiancée had French toast for which i would recommend a larger plate so that he could cut his food without so much over flow.
Perhaps this "cafe" is more inviting at night, with their nice selection of wine, and live music.  I will go back as the food was good and the coffee was hot, service was pleasant, however just a kind suggestion, sort out the heating situation, turn off Micheal Jackson and try to have all meals come out at the same time....
