| - I would give the serivce a solid 5 stars, the food 4 stars and value 3 stars.
My wife and I visited Toast for the first time today for lunch. Having been huge fans of Las Ramblas, we were amazed by the transformation of the room. Nice job, Toast.
My wife ordered a breakfast sandwich with a side of hashbrowns (really homefries in my opinion) and I ordered the Left Coast BLT (hold the brie).
Service was quick, as was the kitchen. We were attended to by multiple servers throughout our experience there and all were very friendly.
Our food arrived and my wife's sandwich arrived exactly how she ordered it and she said it was very good. Mine, however, arrived not toasted, despite being assured it would be toasted when I ordered it. OK, no problem, a minor hiccup which was corrected very quickly by the efficient waitstaff.
I wished, however, that I had actually looked inside my sandwich before sending it back for the toasting. When it arrived back I bit in and realized it only had 2 slices of bacon on it. Now, I should mention, the menu price for this sandwich is $8.95. Seriously, 2 slices of bacon on a $9 sandwich billing itself as a BLT???
I quickly got the attention of one of our wonderful servers and asked, "does this sandwich always come with only 2 slices of bacon?" Yes, he answered, and immediately offered me more bacon. Within a minute or a so, a plate arrived with 3-4 more slices of bacon. Now that is superior service...very impressive!!
Still, with a 20% tip, this turned out to be a $30 lunch, for 2 sandwiches, 1 side of homefries (oops, hashbrowns), 1 mimosa and 1 sweet tea. That's pretty steep.
Had it not been for that level of service, this would have been a 1 star review all the way.
