Restaurant is quiet and nicely appointed. Service was good but not professional. Servers were not knowledgeable concerning ingredients or suggestions. Water was not refilled promptly. Staff was young and probably insufficiently trained,and therefore unable to excel at their job.. We ordered one of the cold rolls,forgot the name and half chicken. All was tasty and well prepared. With a little more training this restaurant could be outstanding!

Food was very good. Drinks were great but took forever and the second round came after we had already asked for check. The room was very loud with echos of music and talking and seemed very chaotic. There was only 1 or 2 bartenders and definitely not enough servers. Hopefully service improves, because food was very good.

Toro is excellent. Our party of three loved every salad, entree and side dish that found its way to our table. Service was top notch. Definitely worth the drive from the beachfront if you like some ole’ at dinner time.

We went early midweek so the restaurant was quiet. Seating is roomy and the ambience is very appealing. Appetizers were delicious with a flavorful combination of ingredients and I recommend them all; hamachi ceviche, smoked swordfish dip, sweet corn empanadas. Our entries were the salmon and 32 oz Wagyu Tomahawk (shared by 3). All prepared as ordered and very tasty. Service was excellent. Great experience.

Our waiter Brennan was fantastic. The grilled octopus was delicious. Filet mignon melted in your mouth. Bartender MC was very friendly and super hospitable. I would strongly recommend this restaurant for a regular dinner or a special occasion.
