Awesome steakhouse!…read more Party of four on the patio which I prefer. We tried the Dine LA menu this time. It was a 3 course meal. We were served complimentary bread which had sourdough slices, spicy flat crackers and sesame sticks. Have to say I was genuinely pleased for the generous bread basket. AND our server surprised us with additional slices of hot garlicky cheese bread TOO! So yummy. Appetizers: calamari - crispy with two sauces ( Hubby got this.) Wedge salad ( Two of us got this.) Chopped salad ( I got this.) Entrees: Two of us got the ribeye Steak w choice of rice pilaf, mashed or baked potatoes, ( veg included tonight was broccoli.) Another got the filet mignon.( He enjoyed it) I got the Sea Bass. It was the BEST sea bass I've had .. ever! It was Parmesan crusted and perfectly cooked. I'm getting this every time I come here! (As long as they have it on the menu... ) Desert: We ended the meal with two chocolate cakes and two cheesecakes . Both were good as our server had indicated. It was additionally nice that the Host and manager came by to see how we were enjoying the meal. Basically, we had a great time here and are already planning our next visit. FYI valet $6

Like the previous visit, I went during DineLA and brought a first time guest. She was excited to try it since I've been talking it up and enjoyed it as much as I did. DineLA is a standout bargain. The bread basket with the sourdough bread and chili crisp crackers was a great start. The calamari with the lemon butter and marinara was done right and the choice of two sauces a bonus. The cheese bread arrived just before our food, a delicious precursor. Pepper steak topped with the onion bacon and pepper topping was perfection, mashed potatoes and broccoli the perfect pairing with broccoli cooked just right, still retaining some crispness. My friend had the rib eye and crispy onions and was equally enamored. The lemon tart was the finale. I took some of the filet home and even leftover, it didn't lose anything. Although we didn't order anything made tableside we saw Steve prepare a Baked Alaska at a nearby table. He passed our table later to check on us and we enjoyed a nice conversation with him. That's a nice touch when the manager stops by and chats for a bit. Service was well paced and our server was friendly and engaging. Valet parking at $6 is reasonable but you can park free on the next block by the church. It was a wonderful return visit for me and first time visit for my friend. We made a pact to come back again and again.

Menu was varied and interesting with some specialties, sandwiches, and salmon. Prices were fair for these times. I had the strawberry goat cheese salad and the baked dinner rolls with sweet butter. Enjoyed it all. My husband had the burger with fries. He said both were very good. I'd like to try the bacon crusted salmon or the gnocchi next time. We did not have dessert. Service was friendly, helpful, and efficient. This is a tiny gem in Uptown. They've been open about a year. I hope people will discover and enjoy it like we did. I think a small candle on each table would add an inviting element to go along with the pretty fresh flower centerpieces. This place can also comfortable accommodate groups.

I mean--you would think of all the things that are pet peeves when it comes to food, overcooking my…read moresteak would be one of the biggest. But I've learned that if I order my steaks rare or even blue rare at a place not known for their steaks, it comes out to the desired medium rare I wanted all along. Such was the case tonight. I asked for rare but it came out closer to medium rare--maybe even dipping into medium. No big whoop. The baseball steak was still juicy and delicious. The fries were still great shoestring. And I can live with a chimichurri sauce instead of the preferable hollandaise or bearnaise these usually come with. I just wish I could actually ask for a medium rare and get medium at a food joint other than where it costs me $60 or $70 a cut. The service was good. She was pleasant and quick on her feet. The ambience was good. It was a quaint space and had a lot of charm. I can't say it was too full but I attribute that more to the day being full of sporting events like the World Cup and some silly NBA thing than an actually critique of the restaurant. Subsequently, I found this a good place for dinner but not superb and I found myself wondering when the next like fate might bring me here.

Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!

I got the elote egg rolls to start and the chimichuri steak sandwich and BKB burger to share. The elote egg rolls were pretty good but, IMO, would have liked some more chunks of corn to represent the OG elote. BKB burger was ordered medium and was juicy and tender. The chimichuri steak sandwich was disappointing, however. I wasn't a fan of the chimichuri sauce or the lack there of it as the flavor was very subtle and too herby for me. I'd definitely come here again tho to try more of their drinks, especially the beers. I got the cali creamin which was a nice smooth stout and the mango tango soju cocktail that was pretty light.

The food is all Sysco/Restaurant Depot frozen stuff, but, despite that, my family and I really enjoy it.
