| - We have been coming to Toast since they opened, and unfortunately, I think the quality of the food--and the size of the portions--has decreased. We usually order one of the lobster items, like the lobster Benedict. We loved Toast, from the service to the ingredients in the food to the sides, like the cucumber salad. However, the last two times we were in, our hashbrowns servings were so small, they almost felt like half-orders. And, they were cold--I mean REALLY cold. Even the size of the eggs seemed small, compared to what we were used to. And while before the lobster chunks were truly chunks, our last visits were more like tiny bits sprinkled in the Hollandaise. the sliced tomatoes were mushy--it was just meh overall. Part of what made Toast truly great was the portion size--if I wanted tapas, I'd be eating tapas. For breakfast or lunch/brunch, I tend to save my calories so I can indulge in large, comforting servings, and Toast always delivered there. The menu prices supported the large sizes, and we were okay with walking out of there spending almost fifty dollars on an amazing breakfast. The service is always good, I will say that. It's great you don't have to hunt for "your" server but can ask questions of anyone. The serving staff remains outstanding. It's become inconsistent regarding if you are offered cornbread, which used to just come with your meal without inquiring. I don't know if the place just got too popular or what, but I'm not sure we'll be back again--the items we prefer are pricey, and if the portions we experienced this time are their new normal, it's too much money for the food on your plate. So sad...we will miss it, but we're not sure if we're willing to try again for the price.
