We chose wheat toast for omelet #1 and a craffle (croissant in a waffle iron) for omelet #2's side choices. If you like coffee - do not skip that here, it's also very good. The prices are very fair, considering the quality of the food. We were hungry walking in, but not walking out.

Sunday morning, Margot and I joined the kids here for breakfast. We started with coffee for Margot,…read morean espresso for me, plus a mimosa and a tequila sunrise. Margot didn't finish her mimosa. I did finish the tequila sunrise, although calling it a tequila sunrise was generous. It was mostly a very sweet sunrise with rumors of tequila. Margot said her coffee was good, so we were off to a promising start. Then the food arrived. Cold. Margot ordered a breakfast bowl with the beef protein, which was so overcooked and so aggressively salted that she removed it from the bowl and left it on the plate. I assume it is still preserved somewhere in the restaurant and should remain perfectly edible well into the next century. Another person in our party ordered the same dish and had exactly the same experience with the protein. I keep using the word "protein" because I'm hesitant to call it meat--or beef, as the menu does--after seeing what actually arrived at the table. Whatever journey it took from cow to breakfast bowl clearly included several additional steps that were not necessary. I had two eggs, three sausage links and three pieces of bacon. Apparently the kitchen was equally concerned about my long-term preservation because the sausage and bacon contained enough salt to qualify as cured building materials. Both meals came with one piece of their "world famous" sourdough toast. One. Calling it a piece may also be generous. It was sliced thin enough that, under proper lighting, I believe you could read a newspaper through it. Another piece would have been appreciated, particularly considering toast appears to be part of the restaurant's identity. Service was an interesting team-building exercise. One person took our order, another brought drinks, someone else brought food, and yet another person checked the table. I believe we interacted with four different employees, which made it impossible to build any rapport with an actual server. Nobody was particularly terrible. Nobody seemed particularly responsible for us either. We didn't feel rushed, which was nice. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived but was absolutely packed by the time we left, with people lining up at the door. One thing we noticed on the way out: the restaurant itself looks great. Whoever designed the place clearly spent some serious time on Pinterest, and unlike the kitchen, they actually executed the assignment. At this point, Toasted may want to seriously consider a pivot. Close the kitchen, leave the furniture exactly where it is, and start designing restaurants for people who know how to cook. Because whoever is responsible for the interior clearly understands what a restaurant is supposed to look like. Now they just need someone who understands what the food is supposed to taste like. So clearly Toasted has found its audience. If you enjoy cold food, aggressively salted mystery protein, cocktails where the liquor is largely theoretical, and world-famous sourdough with the dimensions and structural characteristics of cardboard, you may have found your Sunday brunch destination. If you're preparing your body for long-term winter storage, even better. Margot and I will probably just admire the Pinterest board from a safe distance.

The location! It was like they were open just for us (soft opening right now! ) I'm sure very soon it will be super busy!

Frankly, I was craving a little bit of a mess, but no objections. The beef flavor was good. The cheese was fully melted. I do wish the onions were a bit more caramelized.

The atmosphere was charming, the décor was exactly what we were hoping for, and the menu felt genuinely true to British cuisine rather than a themed interpretation. Unfortunately, our visit took place on a colder day, and the large garage-style door connecting to the outdoor seating area was left open. As a result, the entire restaurant felt quite cold throughout our meal. Since we were dining with our infant son, this made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience and was our biggest disappointment of the evening. In fact, it was cold enough that we kept our coats on throughout dinner, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the atmosphere the restaurant had worked so hard to create. We also ordered the fish and chips. The quality of the fish was very good, and it was clearly prepared with care. However, the portion size left something to be desired. The meal included only one medium-sized piece of fish, which felt small for a dinner entrée, especially considering the price point. While the food itself was enjoyable, we were hoping for a more substantial serving. Despite these issues, The Last Queen delivered on atmosphere, authenticity, and food quality. I would be willing to give it another try, particularly during warmer weather, as I believe the temperature and comfort level had a significant impact on our overall experience.

If they spent half the effort making proper homemade food as they put into making you think they do, this place might be worth going to. Alas, they are just like Scrambler Marie's or any other pretentious faux-artisan eatery, utilizing the latest trending culinary buzz words on the menu only to bring you food that one would swear was from Bob Evan's whilst wearing a blindfold (not meant to be a compliment, btw, in case you're 90 years old and think Bob Evan's is actually good). I can't place 100% of the blame on First Watch, as the suburbanites who don't know any better will keep a milquetoast establishment such as this open for years. As such, America is a 1st World country with truly 3rd World cuisine. Save yourself the drive and the wait and just stay home and microwave some Jimmy Dean breakfast product, I promise you're not missing a thing... read more

Great place. I went this restaurant with my boyfriend. We arrived at around 11 a.m., and the restaurant was already crowded but we were seated right away :) For me, their smoked salmon & bacons were delicious. The bacon was sweet, kind like teriyaki taste. The smoked salmon beneath the Benedict egg was surprisingly tasty. It was light salted and smoked. The quality is good. Their omelette is okay, not as good as others. Overall their food was great, as well as the environment. We had a good time there. Will recommend. read more

It just seemed like the fish may have been sitting there. Out of three pieces of fish one was pretty good, and cut apart easily. However, the other two I had difficulty cutting. The pieces of fish themselves were a bit small. The value itself wouldn't be bad if the meal was actually enjoyable. It comes with one side and a salad. The blue cheese dressing for the salad was good and the tartar sauce for the fish seemed like it was homemade. However, I do not recommend because the food didn't taste very good.

As two moms meeting for coffee with our young children, that atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, our experience in person was very different from what we expected. The space felt cold and industrial, with concrete floors, minimal décor, and very little to soften the noise. It was extremely echoey, and between the kitchen sounds and overall volume, it wasn't the comfortable environment we had hoped to spend time in with our babies. While there were couches and seating available, the overall setup felt more geared toward quick visits or takeout than relaxing and staying awhile. The coffee itself was good, and the menu offered plenty of interesting food and drink options. I can see how the space might appeal to someone looking for a quick coffee stop or a place to work on a laptop. However, the atmosphere wasn't inviting enough for us to want to stay, relax, or order anything additional. We were hoping for a cozy coffee shop experience, and the space simply didn't deliver that feeling. The biggest disappointment was the disconnect between the impression we got from social media and the actual experience of the space. Had we known what it was really like, we likely would have chosen a different location for our coffee meetup. Others may enjoy the industrial style, but families or friends looking for a warm, lounge-style coffee shop to settle into for a while may find the experience different than expected.
