    Everything was amazing! The food and the service were great, the only complaint we had was the wait for the food and desserts was a little long but besides that honestly can’t really complain and we will be back! We were a bigger group so that’s probably why there was a longer wait! Every dish we had was absolutely delicious so it was well worth it!

    We had a family outing this Sunday evening and were excited to try this new highly recommended restaurant but we were all very disappointed. The portions are small, the food is overpriced and had no flavor, and the wait time for our food to come out was more than 15 minutes. By the time our food came out my mashed potatoes were already cold. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue if it was rush hour but there were only about 3 other tables occupied at that time and the rest of the restaurant was empty. Overall our dining experience was not what we expected and we will not be returning again.

    I booked this restaurant for my Mothers Birthday. She was extremely excited due to seeing videos on TikTok. I’ll say the ambiance and the food was good but that’s about it. By far the worst service I have ever received. It took about 45 minutes just to receive my drink. The server was very nice but was over worked and had to do about 4 other jobs. Not once did the manager even checked on us. They ended up getting brownie points at the end for a little birthday card for my Mother.

    Toro was amazing! My wife and i ordered the Churrasco and the short ribs with Peruvian fried rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and had intricate flavoring. They gave my wife a free desert for her birthday, and it also did not disappoint 10/10!
