"Instead of being stuck in Chicago traffic, a brunch was the best solution to kill time. Yelp had TOAST with some high recommendations and close to an exit on the freeway.. so we came.. Place is pretty cool, there's inside and outside seating, and the weather called for outside seating, it was cool and breezy. The tables have umbrellas if you want some shade, but with the trees providing some shade, it really isn't necessary.. Menu is 1 page and is very simply to read along with being very descriptive with what each option is all about. The scramble eggs options seemed to be very popular in yelp so my wife and I decided to try a scramble each. She went with the prosciutto and pesto and I went with chorizo and cheddar.. both were amazing. Talk about portion and seasoning being on point for each dish, and you for yourself a winner here. These are both just tries, and once you do, come again and try something else. I also tried the Stuffed French Toast, which was ordered as a kids order 1 slice) full side is 2 pieces. The French toast had a sweet cheese inside, i believe it's called mascarpone ? I could be wrong.. but try it ! Add the syrup and it's like whoa all in your taste buds.. seriously.. The service was 5/5 hands down. Her recommendation of 1 piece stuffed French toast was awesome as the scramble portions are pretty big.. will definitely come again ! If you want a great brunch, in Chicago, come here."

"Lovely experience for fathers birthday. We ended up having a crazy busy Saturday and needed to find a nice place for his birthday, I gave Front Street a call and they were able to give us a table the same day later that evening. Upon arrival we noticed it was packed, but they it was nice to see they had a table reserved for us. We ordered a pizza immediately upon sitting so we could have it ASAP as our appetizer and saw it takes 15-20 minutes to make. Our server was pleasant and provided some insight about their offerings. We placed the rest of our food and requested some bread for the table (note: the bread is free, but you have to request it). Overall the pizza was great (tomatillo poblano pizza) and our entrees were equally tasty (eggplant parm, chicken trattoria, salmon special, and side of eggplant meatballs). The eggplant meatballs were fantastic, I would order those again in a heartbeat along with the pizza. The other two were decent, more just over cooked for our personal taste. Also don’t skip dessert, their ricotta cheesecake is fresh and light. Overall, I’d definitely go back. Service is good, they are attentive. The ambiance is a little loud and active, which is nice for a semi casual event like we had. A few tips: the entrance is in the back, no you’re not crazy for thinking it is the pizza pick up spot. They also have a parking lot near by and you only have to pay 9-6pm or something. Very convenient if you are driving in!"
