Part of our celebration of Cam's 16th birthday was a trip to a counter -- and it was our 60th!! Ted's mom heard from a friend about a new place in Oakwood that had a counter, and after some research we determined it was the Dolphin II -- the new outpost of the original Dolphin in Northfield. So we stopped in on Sunday morning, along with Tami.
The place definitely looks new, and seems to be very popular already -- there were lots of people waiting for tables, but the counter is fairly large and we quickly got seats. It took a little while to get the attention of the staff, but once we did they were super friendly and efficient. We had drinks right away, and took some time to look over the extensive menu.
Everyone chose breakfast food -- waffle and bacon for Cam, omelette and bacon for Tami, and a ham scramble, potatoes and coffee for Ted. Our orders arrived amazingly fast. Everyone enjoyed the food -- pretty good quality, OK for the price. Definitely worth a visit -- particularly if you are into dolphins (the walls are covered with dolphin-related artwork).

Cam says: "Service was good, as well as food being just above average. Atmosphere was kind of lacking for me. I'll give it 6 frying pans."
Ted says: "Nice, friendly place with a big counter and pretty diverse menu --- lots of good choices. Service was great. It's worth 7 frying pans."
Tami says: "Enjoyed celebrating Cam's 16th birthday at a counter! Very clean, which is important to me. Friendly waitress, and food was good. 7 frying pans.for me too."
