    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.

    Today is my boyfriend's birthday, so we decided to have what we coined our "Breakfast Adventure"!…read moreWe ended up at Toast because we saw they had a dog-friendly patio. 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 !

Depending on your timing, you can park in the available lot on site or even in the LIRR station across the street. On a saturday night, me and my friends ended up waiting 30 mins for a table which wasn't terrible! To start, we ordered the Capri Sun, a seasonal Mango 2 Tango cocktail and a spinach artichoke dip to start. The Capri Sun was phenomenal . A perfect blend of Pacific Cooler and vodka served in a cute lil pouch. The Mango 2 Tango had a good jalapeno kick and the spinach artichoke dip was torn into with an extra serving of tortilla chips. Once we got our main courses though, that's when things started to go downhill. I ordered the hot honey fried chicken sandwich and was underwhelmed. I was expecting a craggy hunk of chicken but, it was just a chicken cutlet surrounded by ciabatta. No hot honey taste, and I had to utilize the ketchup to give it some moistness. The seasoned fries were good though. Around our table, everyone was kind of whelmed with their entrees as well. Even the desserts, deconstructed brownies, were a let down as well. Dry brownies with too much plain peanut butter to make it palatable. Overall, I appreciate the mission. And maybe for drinks alone, this place is excellent. But maybe, pass on the food.

In no rush on this beautiful morning, so I figured I'd order the biggest plate I could've ordered and just soak the vibe in, appropriately called The Feast with a glass of apple juice. So they came in with the wrong order, so what? At least they quickly got it fixed and brought out my real order, no need to throw a fit this early in the morning. Anyhow, as for the meal itself, they're not trying to reinvent the wheel and that is perfectly fine, really just came for the vibes. The meal was satisfyingly traditional overall. Is it worth going back to though? Unfortunately no, because there are better sit down breakfast spots on the island, wasn't really worth the distance, in my opinion. Some minor complaints are that coffee drinks weren't refilled and syrup cost extra by like ¢.75, but they're really minor, nothing to really fuss about, personally though I liked it but it was worth it for the one time for the vibe alone. I would recommend only if you're close to the place.
