My husband and I visited Toup’s for our anniversary. We made our reservation online and the restaurant was aware we were there for a special evening. They greeted us with a Happy Anniversary and brought us two mocktails as a gift. We ordered the meat board and broccoli salad to share and it was fantastic! The meats were paired well with additions on the board, the salad crisp and flavorful. 100% would revisit and recommend! Fantastic hospitality, service and flavor.
