   Wanted to try out this restaurant for a while. I work in the area and it always smelled good when passing. Decided to make a reservation on Valentine’s Day. The ambiance was very nice in restaurant. Unfortunately it did take a while to be seated then it took even longer for a server to attend to our table. From entering the restaurant and being seated, it took about 35 minutes to even get a glass of water. The restaurant was not busy. The manager did try to make amends, which we appreciated (comped a few items). As far as the food goes, we ordered wings for an appetizer. They were either really good or they were just good cause we have been waiting forever to eat. The entrees were sufficient, but expected more. We ordered the short rib and the Toska burger. Overall it was a pleasant experience but was lacking service. Maybe it was just an off night, or they were overwhelmed from the earlier Valentine’s Day service.

   went on valentines day which was a mistake. 45 minutes after we sat down the first of our 5 entrees came. no appetizers, no other entrees. sent it back and 10 minutes later our appetizers came. after 15 minutes all 5 entrees came. the first one was shrimp carbonara and it had been sitting under a heat lamp for 25 minutes. needless to say it was all dried out and the shrimp were overcooked so I sent it back. the replacement came and i have to say it was the worst carbonara ever - it was soupy and the chef forgot to add the bacon or pancetta. the manager said he would comp it but forgot to take it off the bill.

   This is a neighborhood gem! A group of 4 of us went on a Thursday night and were seated upstairs - didn't realize how BIG this place was when looking from the outside. The food, drinks, and service were excellent! We ordered a variety of items and shared them - wood fired wings, caprese salad, truffle sweet potato fries, the Veg pizza, one of the burgers, hot chicken sandwich, and one of their specialty dishes qebapa. I would highly recommend Toska, and we'll definitely be going back.

   Very good service! The food and drinks we had were tasty with generous portions. My only wish is for more of a seafood selection.

   The food service and ambiance are excellent here!! Only comment is neon overhead lights are too glaring and would benefit from dimmer. All else excellent!!!
