   We have 7 dishes and the churros. Duck  drumettes are a must, and best broccoli I’ve ever had. Staff was helpful with wine choices.

   Outstanding service. Very good food. A little pricey. Ambience is great, but a little dark and loud for some tastes. Overall tremendous place. Would highly it.

   Server was friendly and helpful. Ambience nonideal - facility was nice, lot of exposed brick, but we were sat 10min after our reservation beneath an incredibly loud speaker. It was frustrating not to be able to talk to my partner on Valentine’s Day without shouting, and the collective shouts of people facing the same issue exaggerated the volume. Food was incredibly, almost comically salty. Duck was almost crystallized with salt. Judging food by edibility, I have had substantially better meals at far less expensive restaurants. The ingredients were clearly good quality and presentation was nice, but the salt was so overwhelming that it crowded out any other flavor. Even the cheesecake was too salty to finish. The other reviews are so overwhelmingly positive that I suspect this issue was limited to the Valentine’s Day prix fixe, an understandable issue given the high volume of clients that night. I write this mostly to flag that people should not expect what I presume to be Toro’s usual quality when the “tasting menu” gets whipped out on holiday evenings, as here.

   Valentines menu was nice. Overpriced for the amount provided but the food was top class. Excited to go back and try the regular tapas menu. Service was fab

   Second time going to Toro, first time there was a legitimately impressive culinary experience. This time we went for Valentine’s Day with their set menu. The quality of the food is incredible, legitimately one of the best restaurants in Boston. Few personal nit picks would be the closeness of the comunal dining made it a little tight but manageable, and the drinks need a little bit more variety, most of the cocktails felt like different plays on an old fashioned, though I enjoy them I had 3 different cocktails and they were all different in flavor but similar in theme, but again, personal preference. One thing that made me laugh is I called in to let them know we were running a few minutes late (ended up being less than 10 minutes after our res time) and on the phone the guy was like “well you have the table til 7 so you’ll have to eat faster okay?” Thought that was hilarious, anyway, Toro forever.

   Toro is a good place. We enjoyed the tapas and small plates very much. They were great! Giving it 4 stars because the Paella (main dish) wasn’t as good, the cocktails were okay, and the seats are way too close. It was easy to listen to other people’s conversations and you could not get out of your seat without moving the table.

   Celebrated my birthday last night with another fantastic meal from Toro. The food, service and atmosphere are all the best. The wine recommendation was excellent and the food was so delicious!

    Loud funky restaurant. Loved the vibe. Food and drinks were delicious. Wish we had gone with a larger group so we could have tried more things
