03/03/24Had a great brunch here on Sunday. The food was fantastic. I had a Carnitas bowl with Chili and the wife Shrimp with grits. Everything was very tasty. The bloody Mary was also great. This is a must try in Norfolk Dillon was behind the bar and was very friendly and helpful. This place prides themselves and making things fresh.

Ben killed it yesterday. He had prior notice and delivered on his words.Everyone enjoyed their food, drinks, and service.Accommodating 30-40 people on a bar crawl at once isn’t easy. Appreciate you guys being gracious hosts and even better bartenders.Those old fashions and Moscow Mules were chronic!Well done!

I came here for brunch and really enjoyed the breakfast options. I got a sausage egg and cheese and the bread was so soft! The tater tots were good too! Also the service was amazing even when the place was full.

Awesome vibe, great drinks, and the bartenders were amazing. Plus, it wasn't too loud and could have a decent conversation without yelling.

I specifically spoke with staff about the three things that create a flawless experience. Food, service, and atmosphere. They nailed it. This chef here makes every item with love. The plating and display are phenomenal. The staff is pleasant, personable, and efficient. The food was so far above expectations I had to review. The drinks were once again on another level. Now let's get to atmosphere, it was quaint, small but welcoming, and just the right size to feel personable yet provide a booming experience. I will come here again when I am in Virginia. Kait, thanks!!!

Love this place and garden areas to enjoy a nice cocktail and good conversations. Rachel and Alex are the best mixologists!!!
We had a very bad experience here today--service was bad & the waitress was oblivious to what was happening & was not appreciative of our constructive feedback.It was our first time coming to Toast on a Sunday morning. We were a party of 4 & 2 of us came at 11:40am to get seated in one of the booths. The rest of our party arrived 5 mins after & the waitress came by to our table at 12nn to get our drink and food orders. We were served our drinks (a mimosa & a tea drink). At 12:40pm, the food had not arrived & the waitress comes by & asks, "Would you like your check?" to which I replied, "We haven't even received our food yet!" To which she replies--"oh I get you. You see, it's bar service only" which did not make a lot of sense to us because she clearly took our drink & food orders. There were 3 other tables aside from us that were having food, so I don't know what "bar service only" meant. The waitress seemed oblivious to our orders & was trying to make it seem that we should've understood that the place was busy--but never did she check on us or appease us that our orders were on their way ever! At this point, we were hungry & just wanted to leave, so we stood up & went to pay for our 2 drinks. Mind you, we gave constructive feedback and we're not irate the whole time, but the waitress was making more excuses --that she was the only waitress there at that point. I don't think that justifies 1) not checking on us, 2) asking us to pay when we haven't received our food yet, 3) and on top of that, not knowing we ordered & not served yet, and lastly, 4) telling us that they were on "bar service only"--but taking our food & drink orders. At the register, they couldn't even figure out what our orders were & they asked if we still wanted our food. It was just really frustrating!

I went to Toast’s Negroni Week Big Negroni Night tonight!It was amazing! A special night to celebrate a classic aperitif.Toast went way out with this one! A gelato booth with Negroni flavored gelato, a dozen Negroni variations to choose from, a Negroni fountain, a live jazz trio, free Campari t-shirts and more!Service was great as we tried several of the Negroni variations! We had the 1970 Portorosso Cup (a traditional Negroni), Bragging Rights, Burnt Offerings, Tree Among Shrubs, and the French New Wave! Each with its own twist yet retaining the classic taste and classic Campari bitterness of the Negroni.If you’ve ever been to Toast, you know the vibes. Relaxing and inviting, summoning you to grab a drink and socialize among friends and acquaintances. With its open air outside seating. Mingling among the gravel lot or chatting among the tables surrounded by various flora.Inside was a DJ playing period music of the mid 20th century. Taking you back to a place where the Negroni just feels like the right drink to be sippin.Toast went above an beyond with this one and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next! Look out for these type of events from Toast that build community and bring individuals together around a shared interest.
