Brought a new colleague to dinner tonight -- superb evening. We ordered different selections, but both agreed food came out outstanding. Incredible experience. Food came out hot. Server Maria was friendly yet professional -- she really helped us through the menu.

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 and service is excellent including the front desk. The "tables for two" are nicely arranged, but larger groups are accomodated as well. The food was still hot when we received it which is great especially for fish dishes. Our server was very attentive and helpful with our requests. Try the Sea Bass!!

I went to Air DC to celebrate my birthday and I had an amazing time!
