Tomato sauce, cilantro, yogurt, sesame seeds. $12
Toast, Oakland CA
I really enjoyed the smokey flavor of the tomato sauce. The meatballs were also very good, but the sauce was my favorite component.

Heirloom tomatoes with olivada, burrata, and basil. $11
Toast, Oakland CA
So simple and delicious! I’m very fond of heirloom tomatoes and this variety was so beautiful. The soft, creamy burrata cheese combined with the salty, garlicky olivada really complemented the tomatoes. Mmm!

We were spending a day in the East Bay and ended up at Toast for a late afternoon/early evening meal out on their front patio. You really can’t beat yummy wines and small plates enjoyed outdoors on a beautiful, sunny day.

With arugula, soft cooked egg, cucumber, and lime. $11
Toast, Oakland CA
I enjoyed just about everything I had at Toast, but this was probably my least favorite item. It was a little too tart for me and I don’t know what the tuna was confit(ed?) in, I’m guessing oil, but it did nothing to improve its flavor and texture. The albacore was actually a bit dry. Besides the beautifully cooked egg, this was kind of boring.
Place setting.

Toast, Oakland CA
Noms, this had a wonderful texture and tasted great! A wonderful snack on the patio on a beautifully sunny weekend.
