Toasted Gastrobrunch - La Mesa 8555 Fletcher Parkway, La Mesa, CA 91942

"Love this place! Tasty food, a great environment, and good service!"

"Okay, so our reservation was at 3 but we got here early and they was able to seat us 30mins early on to a great start. We had a few questions about the menu being that the waitress was new she had little or no answers, understandable. 2 of my friends didn’t like their meal so they sent it back and one of my friends order had a small error it was also sent back. I enjoyed my food really good no problem with it. Service was a bit slow and waitress was struggling a bit. My friend ask multiple times for ketchup and guacamole as well as syrup. Assuming her memory was great plus it’s a few of us no worries I asked as waiter that was walking by due to the fact my friend was not eating bc she was waiting for her condiments. I polite said excuse me sir… no reply then I tried to wave him down. He look straight at me did not acknowledge me and kept walking. Went to go help a table so I brushed it off but then he came back and as I try to ask for the condiments and said he couldn’t hear me rudely and our waitress came back Said he got it and Albert walked away rolling his eyes. So with that being said food in my opinion was great but service was not! And yes I posted this while I’m currently still dining"

"The service was wonderful, very inviting and accommodating, and the atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for dining with your friends. The food was outstanding! I had a delicious white pair mimosa, the New York pizza, and grilled octopus. All were prepared exquisitely, and I thoroughly enjoyed they variety of rich, yet not overwhelming, flavors. I definitely recommend!!"

"I stopped in for an early dinner and had the Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich off the brunch menu since it was before 4 p.m., and the dinner was not available yet. The sandwich came with fries and cost $18 and some change. The chicken tasted pretty good, but I was very confused about why they put three chicken tenders in the sandwich rather than one large chicken breakfast. The individual tenders made the sandwich difficult to eat. Every time I picked up the sandwich, the tenders would fall out. It made eating the sandwich, like a "sandwich," a difficult experience. The chicken tenders had good flavor, but they were a little on the dry side. They need to better execute this sandwich.The sauce that came on the sandwich was tasty, but the were the pickles were too flaccid and not crisp. The fries had a nice color on them and were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. However, they were well over seasoned with salt. I could only eat about a fourth of them because of the heavy iodized salt. At any rate, they should use better quality salt, in my opinion. Service was friendly enough, but more interaction would be good. As I walked out the door, two employees, one I think, were a manager, and there was no engagement. I at least expected a "Thank you for coming" as common in may eateries."

"This review is for the new Toasted restaurant that replaced Sammy's. I went and was not disappointed. Relaxing inside and outside seating. Their brunch menu has good variety. I especially enjoyed the Elvis French toast. I believe this will be the best brunch spot in all La Mesa. Definitely worth a try."
