    I had the best anniversary dinner at Toto’s last night! We sat in the angel room and it gave me the feeling like I was eating over someone grandmothers home, the ambiance was immaculate. There was a man who started off on the keyboard and eventually sang too and it was so nice. It was the perfect background music, I hate when the music is so loud you can’t even have a conversation. I got the white margarita and my husband got the smoked old fashion. The presentation of the old fashion was so cool! For an appetizer we got the French onion soup and the Brussels sprouts both on the specials list. The Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever had! They were brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar glaze and walnuts. The French onion soup was also really good, me and my husband shared it. For our entree we got the prime steak for two and it was cooked perfectly. We also had the mashed potatoes for our side. I was so full I couldn’t eat another bite but my husband got the carrot cake and he fought to finish it all. We will absolutely be back soon!

    Dinner was delicious. The meatballs reminded me of meatballs that I had in Italy… All dishes we ordered were plentiful and there was enough to have again for a second meal. Only complaint I had was that our table was by the window and it was a bit chilly but we sucked it up and didn’t ask to be reseated elsewhere when tables started to open up. We will definitely return again. The pizza looked delicious too!!
