    Our waiter Michel was amazingly attentive and interpersonally a delight. We had the cinnamon roll to start and it did not disappoint. The croque madame and hamburger were outrageous and the power salad bowl with chicken was so good. Can’t say enough good things about the food and beverages. Only downside was the wait to be seated (with a reservation). Very busy on a Sunday.

    ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Dining Experience!! We came to celebrate my mother's 87th birthday. They had a lovely sign waiting at our table when we arrived that said, " Happy Birthday from Miss Toya's" . The service is impeccable!! Our waiter, Chris, was EXTRAORDINARY! He's professional, kind, attentive and has the BEST sincerest personality. The manager even did his rounds going from table to table to assess our dining experience. He was also quite comical as well. The ambiance was great with really good music playing. The decor is lovely. Now, let's get to the food. . . AMAZING!!! Everything that we ordered was DELISH and we are CREOLE straight from Louisiana so, we really know good Creole cooking and they did not skip a beat. The stuffed shrimp with the succotash were divine, the wings were great and the fried catfish was impeccably cooked. We wanted to order more but wanted to save room for dessert. Unfortunately, because it's a Monday, their dessert menu was limited due to weekend brunch probably selling up everything but we decided to try the Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream and it did NOT disappoint. Let me just say that I live in Chicago and it's been extremely hard to find REALLY good food here in the DMV. Miss Toya's is gonna get my business each and EVERY time that I return to the DMV to visit. Thanks Miss Toya's for a WONDERFUL dining experience!!

    The food was 1000/10. WOW! It was so good. We opted for the Sunday buffet brunch and I'm glad we did. I usually have low expectations for buffets but I was pleasantly surprised. The upstairs area has a DJ, bar, and hookah available. Nice area to turn up after having all that food! I will say that the service was SUPER slow at brunch though. We had to ask for our bill numerous times and constantly look for someone to refill our drinks.
