Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Diamond Bar

Cons-They do not have a foyer/lobby area. Within 5 minutes of my arrival there were 15 people standing in a 6 x 8 space. They will not seat you until your entire party has arrived. It took awhile for our drinks to arrive and longer for the second round. We had to flag down our sever three times for more bread, plantains and polenta. It’s an open floor plan so it’s very loud. Pros- the selection of buffet items was excellent. The meat carvers came around frequently. The steak, pork chops and chicken were delicious. The decor is modern and stylish. It’s costly. Party of three drinks, dessert and tip $403.00. We overall had a great experience.

There were just 3 of us to celebrate a birthday. My two table partners ordered the special of the day-Alaskan halibut. They were perfectly cooked and a good size portion. I ordered the rack of lamb and they cooked it to a perfect medium rare. Our server was attentive, but not intrusive and surprised the birthday girl with dessert! A very nice evening. Looking forward to going back.

We had a great dinner with a great chef name victor he was amazing food was the best that I had in a while eating there thank you!

Everything was absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable, from the greeter when we first walked in, to our waiter who was god sent. The food was delicious, the drinks were awesome. I loved this place. I will definitely be back and soon, already looking forward to my next visit.

My wife and I are empty nesters with my son and his wife being nurses. Their schedules have them working the holidays. So, going to El Torito for the holidays has become a very cool thing for us to do. My wife and I enjoy the food and the appreciate the service for Christmas (on Christmas day, no less). Ricardo has been the best server we could hope for. Always keeping our mimosas filled. No complaints.
