Self Centered

by La Can

What has happened to building relationships & supporting people in our local community? I work at La Cantina; a tiny off the map, “underground”, unlisted bar catering to musicians & came to Tost to see some of the bands I work with. While at Tost I tried to pass out flyers for my bar & leave some on a table which many bars & venues have available for advertisement. The manager at Tost felt so threaten that I would take business away from him, he asked I stop & told me it was best I leave. If one were to see La Cantina you would see there is no threat. Tost has a web-site, adds in The Stranger & located on the beaten path; we have none of!!!! We simply just have a myspace. . .

• Pros: No Pros
• Cons: Insecure

Uptight bartenders

by emilio1167

This place is way too uptight, maybe it was just that night my friends and I went, but we were dancing around having a great time, and the bartenders decided we needed to be cut off. We took a few shots, and were dancing, but isn't that part of partying? I wouldn't recommend this place unless you just want to sit and listen to music.

• Pros: Live music
• Cons: Bartenders, crowd

Don't Expect Customer Service

by daredevilxxx

We went to Tost because they have happy hour til 8pm: 1/2 off food and good drink specials.

We went directly to the deck, it's cute and cozy. The bartender came immediately, we ordered drinks, the Cheese Plate and the Mediterranean Plate. The drinks came very quickly. But after 40 min, there was still no food (neither of those dishes had to be cooked!!) and no sign of the bartender again. Around this time, another bartender started serving the deck customers, so I asked her to find out what was going on with our food and I ordered another drink. The next time she came out, she was empty handed and she ignored me. Then she was back inside in a flash. I had to flag her down the next time to ask where my food and drinks were, and was told there was an ingredient problem, but now there's only one order in front of ours, so it should be out soon. By now it's been an hour, so we canceled our food order and left.

• Pros: Cozy Deck, Happy Hour til 8pm
• Cons: Don't expect to actually get the food you order off the happy hour menu
