Don't let the host make you leave

by CSMobileUser3

Beyond the rude front service the food is great but the manager does not care how the host gave us rude treatment and said that if you do not like the way the host speak to you go some where else.

A Nice Trendy Westside Eatery! I Will Be Back!

by Drey39

The location is Great! The food was decent. The service was mediocore at best. After we were seated, the server assistant immediately asked if we wanted to order beverages. That's where the good service pretty much ended. After about 10 minutes, unable to secure even a modicum of attention from the staff, I finally broke down and asked a ramdom employee where my server was. He was in fact our server. He was extremely dismissive and said he'd be with us shortly. Evidently, he was an aspiting actor, in character to play a snobby waiter at a trendy westside restaurant. He should have no problem landing the part! Eventually, he took our orders and our dishes arrived shortly. The soft scrambled eggs I ordered were hard, so I politely asked my server if he could possibly request another order of soft scrambled eggs to which he replied, he would try. Try? Wow, what chance did I have? The second order was also hard scrambled. I was perplexed as to how the chef was unable to master the complexity of soft scrambled eggs aftter two tries. Hint: try serving them before they starts to brown. All of the other food was really good. Actually, that was a masterful use of understatement and unfair, the waffle with strawberries and bananas was the BEST I've ever had! Overall, it was a nice pleasant experience for both myself and my date; I don't go there for the service anyways!

  • Pros: Good Food and Great Location!
  • Cons: Questionable Service and Challenging Parking

Yummy yummy yum...im talking about the staff

by happydog2009

A friend's brother brought me here for brunch one lazy Sunday and I proceeded to come back for the next four days, bringing a different friend each time. I am completely hooked on their salads, steak sandwich, granola & fruit ....but then again, I haven't tried a single thing on the menu that wasn't orgasmically delicious. Speaking of orgasmic...their staff is hands down one of the best-looking groups in LA and so friendly. And the vibe of the place is to die for. At night it's even candlelit! Come here and bring a friend...you may have to wait a little bit, but it's worth it!

one last thing...i love the cupcakes...so fresh so yummy

  • Pros: food...staff...people watching
  • Cons: parking

good food, bad service

by brunchandtea

sunday 1pm at toast is definitely crowded, so we were prepared for the 20 minute wait for the 3 of us. we were seated at a sofa which was kind of hard to eat, so we asked if we could switch to a table. the waitress pointed at a corner table for 2 and said we can move there. ... obviously we couldn't fit the 3 of us there and she was clearly just trying to get us to shut up. oh well. the waiter seemed impatient and unfriendly. actually he seemed a little reluctant to serve/talk to us at all.

on the bright side, food was good though, sweet potato fries were nice. cobb salad has a nice dressing, but the bad service left us in no appetite for desserts.

  • Pros: salads, sweet potato fries
  • Cons: really bad service

un eco friendly and rude

by nllyleonard

food and service was okay, then i asked the manager if he would consider alternatives for plastic containers for take out and he said it was too expensive!!!! give me a break! you would charge 14 dollars for a sandwich but not pay a extra nickle for paper packaging, in my opinion speak with your dollars and refuse to eat there unless they go more eco friendly. tell all your friends, lets ban plastic in LA.

Not only is the food wonderful the restaurant staff is too! I cannot wait to return for another great meal.

by gigiandpapa

I have had breakfast at Toast twice and both times I have had a great meal. I could not leave without indulging in one of their delicious cupcakes. On my last visit I left a photo album of my grandchildren and Kenny was kind enough to mail it to me. That is what I call "going the extra mile". I cannot wait to dine at Toast on my next visit to California.

Love this place

by lovefoodido

I have been eating at Toast for years now and i love it. I eat at toast almost 5 times a week and have never found anything in my food. I have a feeling that some people who write reviews are workers from other restuaurants. It is sad that some companies would bash other companies like that. Toast is the best. Come out and try it for yourself.

  • Pros: fresh food
  • Cons: parking

Not Worth the Wait

by am1975

This place is so crowded for brunch on the weekends that it makes going there unpleasant. The food is good, but their are plenty of other good brunch spots around town where you don't have to wait an hour to be seated.

  • Pros: Good cup cakes
  • Cons: LONG WAIT
