| - Another extension of Toast in Davidson
Business model for Toast in Davidson changed about a year or so ago and rather than an Organic Expansion, they opted to use the franchise model to expand and since then, a number of these have opened in the area. This is one of the newer ones along with Concord Mills and Indian Land SC.
Davidson was nice when it opened and then it because a victim of it's success with long lines, awful wait times and poor service all in cramped conditions.
This is not a review of that store but rather as they have expanded, the newer stores have more room and can accommodate more people. They still have the tiny tables that they did in the original store and with the additional space, should be able to hire more waitstaff and improve service. Unfortunately not the case.
My wife and I went to the location in University Place this past Monday which was July 4th. Walked in and were promptly seated at a small table in the middle of the room but we did not see a server for over 5 minutes. I was ready to leave when one finally showed up.
I will admit from that point on, service did get better. Presented us with menu's and took our beverage orders and after we did place the orders, they did have our meal out within a reasonable length of time.
My wife order a Quiche with a side of fruit. One of her complaints about sides of fruit is that most of them have a few berries on top but the balance is mostly melon and that was the case here. She did indicate that her quiche was very good.
As for myself, on the menu that had three specials each named for a Presidential contender. The Hillary was a salad with West Coast theme, don;t remember what was the Bernie and the Trumplet was an omelet stuffed with meatloaf. Since I like meatloaf, I order the Trumplet.
Please note that because I ordered the Trumplet, in no was is this to be construed to mean I am a Trump supporter. If that was the case, I would have been very disappointed because the meatloaf inside the omelet was extremely dry and overcooked with little flavor. What flavor there was came from the Pico de Gallo served on the side.
All in all, this is one of the better and I hope as the restaurant is there for awhile, it get even better. Cuisine is creative but preparation is average. Service once you get acknowledged the first time is really not bad and atmosphere is not too back except for the cramped feel from the very time tables all pushed together.
