Let me start by that this place is special!
The food is unique and full of flavor. This is my 2nd visit. As I finish my meal, I feel as though every aspect was thoughtfully and artfully composed by an incredible and well-trained chef!
We had the eggs in purgatory, the salmon toast and the potato balls! All was excellent!
Now, for the service...
The manager, Cody, made sure our experience was perfect. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. Even though he has never seen us before, he made us feel appreciated as a friend would!
Justice was our server. She was very friend and attentive. Not a drop off your food and desert you type. Our coffee cups never emptied before she would check on us. For a busy restaurant that is amazing!
The restaurant was clean and comfortable, maintaining the high bar this place sets!

This review is long overdue, but we couldn’t go without sharing how amazing our experience was at Toasted Gastrobrunch! A few months before our wedding in June, the original restaurant we planned to host our rehearsal dinner closed, and we spent days searching for a new venue. We reached out to so many places near our reception site, and thankfully, we messaged Toasted Gastrobrunch!
Cassandra responded so promptly and was incredibly helpful from the start. They were able to accommodate our group of about 90–100 people, and honestly, it turned out to be the best surprise — a true silver lining!
Cassandra, Cody, and the entire staff were amazing. They even created a custom menu for us that offered a mix of Italian and American food outside of their usual brunch menu, which our guests absolutely loved. We were also able to have the restaurant to ourselves, which made the evening feel extra special and intimate. Everything exceeded our expectations — the buffet was plentiful, the drinks were great, and the restaurant itself was spacious and comfortable for all our guests.
After dinner, we ended up dancing the night away with even more friends and family who were in town for the wedding, and it was such a perfect way to kick off the weekend!
If you’re looking for a reception venue or a restaurant to host your large party, look no further — Toasted Gastrobrunch is it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping make our wedding weekend so special!

BELIEVE THE 5-STAR REVIEWS! OMG... Toasted Gastrobrunch is definitely on my regular restaurant rotation now. It's highly recommended by Yelpers far and wide, as a brunch enthusiast I can verify this is a phenomenal place. I heard great things about the A-B-C Hash (Shoutout to our friend Audrey the Yelp CM who recommended this dish) so I had to try it! I ordered it with a side of rosemary sourdough and oof, it was an other-worldly experience. The avocado was perfect, I typically don't eat avo but this place changed my mind. Everything from the potatoes, meat, and eggs was fresh and premium quality.
We tried a flight of mimosas (pear, lavender, etc.) and they had a good amount of alcohol. The flight glasses were mini-size, so we got some extra soft drinks just in case.
Service was a little wonky, we didn't have too many check-ins from our waitress. Our drinks didn't get refilled regularly, that was a little troubling. We just got a lazy vibe from some of the staff. Thankfully, this didn't ruin the experience, but we'd appreciate better service next time! I WILL give kudos to a gentleman from the staff who sent away a homeless dude who was about to start stuff. He tactfully handled the situation, and called security without causing a disruption for guests.
The restaurant was trendy, but it never felt like it was trying too hard. It was a cool place, I enjoyed the outdoor patio ALOT! I definitely like the comfortable brunch atmosphere. Oh, and their kitchen is stunning, I love getting to see the chefs in action!
Note: I checked on their Yelp page, they have a Yelp waitlist!! Be sure to secure your slot!

Incredible food! We split the chiliquilis and the flavor was excellent, the portion size was plenty even split. John Paul was our server, lots of refills, attentive and funny! Highly recommend if you're in the area on a beach trip.

We stopped here while traveling and ordered takeout at the bar but were not greeted or helped right away. Another customer who came in behind us was served quickly while we were still left waiting until I asked the host for help. My latte came with foam even though I asked for none, it was not hot enough, and overly sweet. The food was mediocre for the price and I would not recommend coming back.

Solid 4 star experience! I had the fried chicken Benedict and an Irish Coffee. Service was pretty solid but, for the number of people behind the bar, the counter should have been much cleaner. Definitely would recommend!

We are locals. We have been wanting to try this place. The whole experience took almost 2 hours. The wait was ok. During our wait we viewed the menu. We ordered egg purgatory & the short ribs benidict. Our waitress was nice, but a guy carried the dishes and dropped it on our table. He made zero eye contact when we thanked him. He walked away with zero acknowledgement. I asked for my single egg to be over easy. It was completely dry and cooked The meat on the Short Ribs Benedict lacked seasoning, the fried potatoes honestly could not be consumed because the seasoning was ridiculously salty. We kimdly let the waitress know of the issues . We were not trying to get deal, we just simply wanted her to pass it on. She had mentioned that she had complaints of over seasoning all day with the potatoes. We also had let the waitress know when we ordered that we would be taking home a dessert to try Kunafi. She said she would have it ready. We waited an extra 20 minutes for it. Hopefully we did not waste our money on this too. They did charge us for the potatoes that was not edible. Lastly, I want to mention that there was way too many flies, and the menus were dirty. We will not be back!
Waited 40 minutes to get our drinks, which were entirely too sweet, after ordering them. Waited an hour for our food. Had to ask the server for silverware and napkins. A burger came without onions and pickles so we also had to ask for that. We also asked for ketchup as four of us had fries and they brought out one sauce cup of ketchup.
The food was entirely mid. BLT had soggy bread and the lettuce and tomato were limp, the bacon was fine.
Crispy chicken sandwiches were overall fairly tasty, but same issue with the bread, lettuce & tomato.
The burger was fine, but any dive bar can do it better.
It’s way too expensive for being an overhyped Applebees.
Would not recommend, would not come back.

Nice music, but you can still hold a conversation.
The staff was nice and the food was absolutely outstanding.
I had the Elvis Toast, and I want the kitchen staff to know I Loved everything about it. It felt like I was served by a world-class chef.

Your name is Toasted and you mess up toast? Seriously?
Stevie Wonder must be making my food with how the bread looked like it was just waved in front of a toaster. And the amount of cream cheese was disgusting, I shouldn't have to disassemble my food and scrape spoonfuls off to be able to eat it. Cold hard boiled eggs on luke warm bread?? My partner's food was barely on the plate, the eggs were touching the table when it was sat down.
Your only saving grace was the waiter, except we could barely hear him the whole time from how horribly loud it was. Put cushions on your vaulted ceiling or something for the love of God.
The food is overpriced, the atmosphere is trying to be too high class for sounding like a nightclub. Go eat somewhere better, literally any other family owned place nearby is cheaper and higher quality.

We were seated at Toasted about 10 minutes before closing, which we wouldn’t have expected to be a problem since the host still let us in. However, it was clear the waiter was frustrated and let us know right away that they were closing soon. The entire experience felt rushed and a bit uncomfortable—like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. That said, the food was excellent—flavorful and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the service overshadowed the meal. Honestly, we shouldn’t have been seated if the staff wasn’t prepared to serve. It left us feeling unwelcome despite the great food.

OMG! Fabulous food and drink. Green Eggs and Denver Scramble for amazing as well as the company in post on both. Prickly pear sour and Mimosa White or even better than I had expected. Definitely a place to visit again!
