Requested certain area to sit & was told we could not sit there due to no food service. However, other guests were sitting there ordering food/eating. Ambience appears to be more intimate on their social media pages, but it’s very bright/loud and located in a hotel with lots of families. They boast about their tequila list/options, but do not have a tequila list & server would not provide us with one. So why promote that?? Food was great, but would not go back.

Our service was immaculate. This restaurant is very accommodating. The tequila library is breathtaking great for a private dinner. Sebastian, our server was very informative, attentive, very down to earth and provides a wonderful service.

We were there for 2 hours. Staffing level is inadequate. Still, the waiter we had did the best he could to take care of us. Wagyu steak was overcooked and the side dishes came out cold, twice.

Everything was delicious! From the Swordfish dip appetizer to the Pork Chop and Brussel Sprouts, no complaints from our party of 5! Seating in the Tequila Library is highly recommended!

Atmosphere is nice but extremely loud. The meat was poor quality and I couldn’t even cut it. The waiter was not helpful when we were unhappy.

The food was great and our server was too but I think the kitchen was running behind which made it look like her service was not very good. She was very apologetic about the delays. We were fine with the delays but others probably were not. I was happy to see Toro doing well on this evening.
