Priscilla our server was delightful and made the entire experience wonderful. She was knowledgeable about the menu and guided us through the meal with excellent recommendations. Our granddaughter has dairy allergies and she also worked with the chef to accommodate that as well. Food was delicious!! Lovely evening

Me, my husband, and mother in-law came here during the thanksgiving holiday and enjoyed our meal. It was quiet enough to hear your conversation and not feel like you had to yell to hear anyone at your table. The staff were attentive and kind.

New risotto on the menu is absolutely delicious and the bistro steak never ever disappoints. Sitting outside on the patio with heaters was lovely and highly recommended before it truly starts getting too chilly to enjoy! My son LOVES the smashburgesa and ordering a fancy lemonade to pair with it. Bar Toti staff are all gems ❤️
