Toast

Toast is my favorite restaurant of all time!

The bar is stocked with only the best, top shelf brands of liquor from apperitif like Campari to digestif like Fernet Branca; a great selection of Bourbon and Scotch; and careful selections of wines and beers.

On to the food! The menu seems to change with the season and what is available so there's always something new and interesting to eat. The charcuterie and cheese boards are always delicious with selections of house made dried meats, patte, hard cheese, mild cheese, house made jams. Unlike every other restaurant that claims to have a charcuterie board and let's you guess what you're eating, the waitresses at Toast give an explanation of everything on the board. Do yourself a favor and get an order of the house pickled vegetables to go with the charcuterie.

The menu has other appetizers and small plates. The grilled radicchio is a great choice. For main course I had ravioli with Speck, capers, and sweet breads. Outstanding! But you can never go wrong with the hangar steak or the brisket burger, the only two mainstays on the menu.

You can have all of this deliciousness in a casual, relaxed setting, with great music, and impeccable service.
