    Adorable little spot right on the water. Good amount of parking and a pretty decent selection as far as menu is concerned. The açaí bowl was really good (always add Nutella ) and I loved being able to sit right on the dock and watch all the boats.

    Chicken flautas and salsa verde with chips.

    Swell Taco opened up a great spot on Bergen dock. Very cute and welcoming. Great for boaters to stop by to get some drinks and food. Also great to stop by if you're in the area and are in need of a great view with drinks and food. The menu is limited but it's perfect. Chips with salsa verde and a margarita is all I need lol. The staff was great and explained all of my options. Hubby got tacos (not pictured) I snacked on the chips and the chicken flautas with my margarita.

    Avocado toast, and organic juice.

Lo único a señalar es que se sentía un poco caluroso en el segundo piso en comparación con el aire acondicionado fuerte de abajo, pero en general tuvimos una excelente experiencia.

Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain the day before, the patio wasn't set up. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. They went out of their way to set up a table and chairs for us so we could enjoy breakfast and celebrate together with our dog. Our waitress, Jordan, was patient and friendly, which made the experience even better. Since it was our first visit, they treated us to a free stack, and the seasonal option was the Peach Cobbler Pancakes. We also ordered the Benedict Arnold, Biscuits and Gravy, Early Riser with two eggs our way, a Banana Nut Latte, and an Espresso Martini. Everything was fresh and tasty, and the Espresso Martini definitely packed a punch! At the end of our meal, they brought out a tiny Sprinkle Stack with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to my boyfriend. It was such a sweet surprise and honestly made the outing feel extra special. I'm definitely recommending this location. The food was delicious, but the kindness and customer service really stood out. They helped turn a rainy-day breakfast into a memorable birthday adventure!

Needless to say even though the footprint was basically the same the interior has been changed is very open and inviting. A friend and I were there for lunch around 1:30 on a Monday. No issue getting a table and were seated immediately. Katie our server was very nice, pleasant and efficient. Drink were brought out quickly and our order taken. My friend got an omelet special with Irish bangers and cheese with home fries and rye toast. She enjoyed the omelet and I have to say the rye bread was outstanding. Don't think it's made in house but were ever they get it from is really good. I got a lunch special of Pot Roast sandwich with onions, mushrooms and cheese on thick cut bread. It was served with a au jus dipping sauce. If it's on the menu don't hesitate to get it, it was outstanding and so stuffed I could only eat half. Will absolutely be returning to Toast !

Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the food takes far longer than expected. Takeout orders are routinely 15 minutes or more past the quoted pickup time, which is frustrating when you're planning your day around their estimate. Service has also been inconsistent. The waitstaff often seems disorganized, and communication regarding delays is lacking. I understand restaurants get busy, but after multiple visits, the same problems keep occurring. The food is decent, but not enough to make up for the long waits and repeated service issues. After giving this restaurant several opportunities, I don't see myself return

Street parking, one hour free if you can grab one of those spots. Plenty of flavored draft beers and TV screens throughout. All the tables and chairs are high, so if you're short you may need to hop up.
