| - After hearing great things about the other locations, I was really stoked to check out the new location at Robinson Farm in Ballantyne. It's a quaint location with plenty of seating and great for a nice breakfast, brunch or lunchy style meal.
Made it in on Sunday afternoon around 1pm and it was packed. There was a small wait, but a table for two opened up in less than 10 minutes. All of the seating is spread around and a little odd for access/maneuvering. Not a huge deal.
I ordered the California chicken salad and really enjoyed it. Lots of great flavors - goat cheese, walnuts, avocado, good greens and the dressing was fantastic. Really impressed with this salad. I'd order it again upon next visit.
The downsides were the service and my wife's food. She ordered an omelet that had guac and I'm pretty sure the avocados were on their way out. Just a really odd flavor for guac that didn't seem right. We ended up removing most of it from her omelet and everything was fine. Just kind of odd. Also, the service was just a little slow. It was slammed, but our server didn't come back to take our order, refill drinks, or bring the check in a timely manner each time. It took about 10 minutes for him to come back to take our order and around the same each time after that. Not a huge deal, but an hour long brunch for the style that Toast is was a little much.
I can't say I'm rushing back to eat here, but wouldn't rule it out completely. Think they'll get some things worked out after having a few months under their belts. Cheers!
