   Excellent service, great drinks, great food. Had the Chef experience with the family and every appetizer, salad, dish was outstanding. By the time the main dish (porterhouse) arrived, we were quite full but kept going. For us, the highlight on the dessert was the strawberry tres leches. Fire breather show was unexpected but very enjoyable. Definitely recommended for night out with friends or date at the bar.

   Though a bit pricey, this upscale brunch experience is well worth the money! The ambience and table were amazing as well as the service. Everyone loved their food from the breakfast enchiladas to the chicken and waffles, with an appetizer of calamari (spectacular) thrown in for good measure. Drinks were awesome and the the DJ (yes there is a DJ) had a nice subtle rhythm of music playing the whole time. Loved it all!

   It was okay. Aesthetically pleasing for sure. Vibe was good, but the food was mid. I’ll go back for drinks and finger foods tho

   The waiter was terrible. Completely up charged us the whole time. My friend and I order the chicken Fajita style. We had no clue there was a $30 fee for this. We could have shared the sides. Just ruined the experience. And he knew it was my friends 40th bday celebration and just made it a very disappointing experience. Would never go back.

   Fun restaurant. Our group of girls thought although the vibes and ambiance was fun, the food wasn’t great. Also, way way way overpriced for what it is. Guacamole 38. Steak was not great. Wish they had a better menu. Drinks were the only good part, is the attraction of the night since they are all lit on fire. Fire everywhere actually. Would come back to sit at the bar and have a cocktail and listen to the music, not eat.

   I went here for my birthday. Worst experience. The server didn’t write anything down causing our food to come out the wrong way. She didn’t come back to check on us- so we were forced to eat it. Plus, our bill was wrong. The noise was ridiculous and people were standing all around so I couldn’t enjoy the fire show. Very disappointed. Especially when the bill was $800.

   It was a nice restaurant plus the service and food were good. If you only have a party of two, all the tables are in bad spots like in the corner. The loud basic Scottsdale techno music was awful. Overall, it's a decent place. Is it the best of Scottsdale, no.

   We had 3 birthday celebrations at Toca and since I had an amazing experience at the Toca at Las Vegas, we were excited to try this one. The restaurant was stunning and the vibe was great. We loved the music with house music mixed in with 80s though we thought it was really really loud. They should have a bit lower so we can hear one another while dining. The food was outstanding and we would give it 5 stars if it weren't for our waiter who was not friendly at all. His name was Corey and gave us a bad vibe, was arrogant and unfortunately made our dinner not a great experience. I suggest the manager have a big talk with the staff because the service at Vegas was outstanding.

    I took my wife out for her birthday. Overall, the experience was great. The steak was top-tier. The entertainment was okay; if you're not paying attention, you might miss the 5-minute performance. We will definitely be back.
