The spices and freshness of the Shakshuka would however bring me back next time, with a cup of coffee.

The menu has a great selection of breakfast and lunch items for most anyone. I was torn between the breakfast burrito, potato pancakes and the breakfast burger. After asking my waitress some questions, I went with the breakfast burrito with chicken instead of chorizo. (no pork for me!) I made this decision based off the fact that they were able to swap out the pork for chicken, and it wasn't a massive burrito, I loved the food and it was just the right portions. Hash browns were good, but tasted a bit funky. I don't know how to describe it, but maybe it was like the grill just got cleaned? I didn't finish them all because of the odd flavor, but also due to me inhaling my burrito at an accelerated pace. My server was fantastic and handled everything like a champ. Decor is spot on and I enjoyed my time here. Will return in the future!

Bloody Mary's were excellent!! Given all the praise and glowing reviews, I guess I just went on a bad day. Maybe it was just an anomaly. It was sunday around noon, and there was a short wait for the table but nothing to keep me from recommending the restaurant. The decor is nice. The menu is creative and interesting. My companion had the Parisian omelet which she said was good but cold. My Grand Marnier French Toast was likewise alright taste-wise but stone cold. Perhaps it was the few refrigerated orange slices wedges, or the cold liquer. Perhaps it was the fact that the plates were actually a little bit cooler than room temperature. Perhaps the fact that I couldn't really taste much of the grand mariner or the orange (other than the cold royales referred to above). Perhaps it could be that the french toast was left on the pass while the sausage was cooked (it was the only thing that was warm on the whole table). This is, of course, is unsubtantiated. Perhaps I was turned off by the fact that the syrup was only brought mildly warmed and that the softened butter I put on the french toast didn't even melt. Perhaps, the small table, one side of which is a banquette that you sink so deeply into that you have to sit on the edge just to eat close to your plate. Regardless the reason, cold plates, tepid omelets and actually cold french toast aren't the kind of amateur mistakes you expect for $9-$10 a dish after waiting for a while for an uncomfortable table. Even in Birmingham. My dining companion is one of those people who gets extremely embarrassed when someone at his table lodges a complaint with servers, so I swallowed about half of the french toast. Sausage was garden variety, but decent. I might give the Ferndale location a try, however anyone who runs a restaurant that can't even warm breakfast plates, doesn't exactly inspire confidence. As I said, maybe it was just an anomaly. read more

5 stars all the way around!!! I cannot say enough about the food, atmosphere, and service! My husband and I made reservations for dinner here this weekend and although we were over a half hour early for our reservation, we were greeted quickly and cordially at the front door. A very pleasant start. We were looking to do some patio dining, so she led us out back to a beautiful room which had an open wall to the outdoor patio. What a gorgeous atmosphere! Updated eclectic interior, fireplace in the corner, bright flowers on the perimeter, and cozy couches to sit on. It is such a romantic, lovely atmosphere! Our server (I REALLY wish I could have remembered her name) was AMAZING! She gave us impeccable service throughout the meal. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, including the cocktail selection, and she visited the table at exactly the right times. We started with delicious cocktails that we were made with fresh ingredients and were not overly sweet which we like. We ordered the flatbread dippers for the appetizers which comes with 3 unique and tasty dips-definitely recommend as a starter. I had the Ivy Frances salad with salmon and it was DIVINE. My husband had the chicken ramen and ate every bite! We will continue to drive the 40 minutes to our favorite Birmingham restaurant. Thank you to all the servers and staff who helped to make our date night so enjoyable :) We will be back soon! read more

So today, we went to Toast in Birmingham that we've been to going to for several years now,. On arrival, we came across this sign in the lobby that we found offensive. The reason I found it offensive was because it was very cold outside and they're telling their patrons to go wait outside or in their cars but they can't wait in the lobby, they also have heaters outside that were not turned on btw and then in their sign, they put in a little gay flag with a quotation "be nice" inside the flag..... so clearly, im not the only one who found this offensive too. When I told the hostess that I found the sign a little rude, she became very sarcastic and rude to me, because I found the sign offensive..... I told her the sign was very rude and should be removed or reworded and I asked to speak to a manager and he was he was also rude about it, maybe I'm being too sensitive but if your guests are coming to your restaurant, you just don't throw them out in the cold. You block the tables and you let your guest wait inside where it's warm or come up with another solution. This is another example of how times are changing and not for the better. I was always raised that you treat your guests and patrons as best as you can. I guess if money is involved, that trumps all dignity and kindness, which is completely the opposite of what that sign was meant to accomplish. That sign with neither nice or kind. read more

Bland experience across the board. 2pm meal on a Wednesday. Hostess never greeted us ("hello" isn't so hard). Server (who had been sitting out on the patio) arrived 7 min later to take our drink order; again, no hello or any type of greeting. Toast Benedict was bland- zero flavor on hollandaise, bacon, or side potatoes. Like absolutely ZERO flavor. Eggs didn't seem poached, more like basted eggs. Veg burrito was the same- very dry and flavorless. Server never asked how our meals were, only dropped off our check- hint gotten- we paid and left quickly. Being an odd time of day, the restaurant was nearly empty...maybe instead of chatting it up loudly amongst one another, staff could take a few minutes to clean: fingerprints all over mirrors, gum on the sides of the tables; dust eating up the place; imagine what the kitchen looks like. Was excited to try this place out but ultimately bummed out by the experience - definitely do not recommend. read more

The shabby chic decor and energetic environment of this eatery is great for a business luncheon, family meal or a special first date. The Staff is is very friendly, the service is great and the food is excellent. I didn't notice any of the issues reported in other reviews. I wanted to order the Ratatouille after years of watching the movie of the same name with my kid. A asked the Waiter if it was good and he said it was not to his liking as it was a bit bland a "tomatoey." I ordered it anyway and it was exactly as he suggested, rather bland. However, my date ordered the steak bits and was happily surprised with the presentation, flavor and portion size of the entree. The restaurant is wonderfully decorated and a good place for a trendy, not snobby, upbeat eatery. Two thumbs up! read more

What I love about Toast is that you can sit and enjoy fabulous food without feeling rushed. I arrived half an hour early to meet friends, and the waitress kept me well supplied with iced tea while I was waiting. We had a leisurely brunch (absolutely scrumptious food for all four of us) and sat talking for a good hour afterward. During that time she kept checking on whether we needed more drinks but never rushed us. Toast has a creative, well thought out menu with something for everyone. The food is great quality and always delicious. The lemon poppyseed waffles with blueberry lavender compote was to die for. Equally wonderful were the various Bennies.

We come out of town and once a year we have annual brunch at Toast with friends. This last Saturday we had super bad service. Our waiter visited our table only twice. When he brought us coffee, never bothered to see if we had spoons or sugar. We had to steal it from another table. He never brought coffee refils either. And we couldn'd find him to get our check.

The addition of dinner location was the smartest thing Toast has ever done. Their food would get a 4, service a 2, so I balanced it out and gave them 3 stars overall. On my last visit, the waiter was rude and seemed inconvenienced that I sent my cold soup back to be warmed up. The owner witnessed his frustration, came to our table to check everything out (of course, I said it was fine - I just wanted the soup heated up), and was very accommodating.

The bacon-fried rice earns high praise. The dish masterfully integrates the savory essence of crisped bacon with the nuanced flavors of perfectly seasoned rice. Each grain, a canvas absorbing the symphony of tastes, showcases culinary finesse.

Couldn't ask for anything more High end diner and I will be back!

A surprisingly good spot hidden in the sea of Troy strip malls!…read moreWe went in here for Sunday brunch and it was hopping! They quoted us 30 minutes for the wait, but a table was available in less than 10 minutes. The servers were definitely hustling on this busy morning. We both selected Benedicts - my wife's was the French Benny (it was on a croiisant) and mine was The Black Sea (smoked salmon. I have no idea how they chose the name). We both thought our selections were quite tasty. We sat inside because it was cool out, but they had a spacious outdoor patio too, which looked nice (if you don't mind the sights and sounds of Rochester Road).

Got takeout from here for lunch one day. Was debating between the turkey Bella, Reuben, or the…read moreclub. Ultimately I ended up going with the Reuben and it was just ok. There was a ton of purple cabbage, it about died my whole sandwich purple. With the homemade thousand island dressing I was hoping for a ton of flavor but it was pretty lacking in that area. The meat was ok. I did sign up for their rewards program and got a free cannoli! The cannoli was probably the best part of the meal. The shell was hard and the filling was delicious. Overall I wouldn't rush back anytime soon for a sandwich. I would try them again but try a different sandwich. And obviously get a cannoli or two!

This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!…read more I was very impressed by the portion size. The focaccia bread was the perfect combination of soft but crunchy and the giardiniera added nice spiciness. I added the garlic aioli and it was FANTASTIC. I highly recommend trying this sandwich. I'm already craving it!
