"The restaurant has a cool vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. Since the weather was pleasant and breezy, we chose to sit outside. The tables are equipped with umbrellas for shade, but the trees provided enough cover so we didn't need them.
The menu is straightforward, just one page long, making it easy to navigate and very descriptive of each dish. The scrambled eggs caught our attention since they seemed popular on Yelp, so my wife and I each picked a different scramble. She chose the prosciutto and pesto, while I went with chorizo and cheddar. Both were fantastic! The portion sizes and seasoning were spot on, making each dish a winner. Since these were just our first tries, we’re excited to return and sample more options.
I also ordered the Stuffed French Toast, which I got as a kids’ portion (one slice), with the full order being two pieces. The French toast was filled with a sweet cheese—possibly mascarpone?—and it was incredible! Drizzling it with syrup took it to another level, a delightful explosion of flavors in every bite.
The service was excellent, definitely a 5 out of 5. The recommendation to go for the single slice of stuffed French toast was perfect, especially considering the large portions of the scramble. We will certainly be back! If you’re looking for a fantastic brunch spot in Chicago, TOAST is the place to go."
