| - Cute, quaint, chill neighborhood vibe.
We stopped by Toast this weekend, looking for something new to try. Having heard some reviews about Toast, we decided to stop in.
The decor is cute- kind of rustic looking and the type of restaurant where it looked like the owner put his own touches of art in the place-wine bottles in plastered art, metal spirals around the lights, and so on. We sat down on one of the benches by the windows (with pillows), and sipped some water out of our mason jars as we looked at our food choices.
First, we went with the brandade pierogies-cured pollock, cheddar, potatoes. It was small, but good and rich-very flavorful.
We moved on to the root vegetables-we definitely loved this dish, cooked with tons of flavor and not too oily at all. You could definitely taste the spicy coconut in it too.
We finished off with the mushroom gnocchi- with oyster mushrooms and shallot sauce. The sauce was so rich and the gnocchi so good, it was a great way to end the night. I almost wishes they made a soup form of this dish! Super tasty.
Although I was disappointed with their dessert list (only three items, no chocolate, and then everything else was alcoholic), I still enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Our waiter was super cool as well which made a great experience.
Eat, drink, and toast. Head to Toast for a light and satisfying meal!
