   The food, cocktails, and service were all excellent. However, our experience was overshadowed by poor management of reservations. Despite having a reservation for a table inside, we were informed upon arrival that it would be a 90-minute wait before our table was ready. The hostess told us our only alternative was to sit outside. I inquired as to whether the patio was heated and warm, the hostess said it was. Based upon this information we reluctantly agreed to be seated outside. Unfortunately the hostess was wrong, the outdoor seating was very cold, and the heaters provided were not effective, and the majority of them were not even on. While we appreciated the quality of the food and drinks, it was difficult to fully enjoy them under these circumstances. The frustration of being forced to either wait an hour and a half or sit in uncomfortable conditions made the experience less than pleasant. This place either has overbooking issues and/or has a hard time turning over tables because it doubles as a cocktail bar.

   Great restaurant with a phenomenal vibe and fabulous food. The drinks are great as the bar staff is very talented and creative with their offerings. We sat at a booth in the bar area and it was wonderful. It is intimate, yet you get to see all of the action. There is a fire dancer who performs throughout the night which is a real treat. Jordan took great care of us. He is a talented bar tender and a very kind and attentive server. The steaks are all grass fed and grilled to perfection. Cassidy does such a great job as Manager. She works so hard and takes great care of the customers and her team. Adrian, a server assistant, is just wonderful. He is so helpful, friendly and caring. What a great team and a fabulous restaurant. It has become one of our favorites.

   The service and our server was amazing. They took the time to explain to us questions we had about the drinks and dinner menu. Great date idea / location to watch the sunset and have great drinks and food. I recommend the order off the grill for a good meat lovers date night. We got the Churrasco* This includes a variety of meat which we requested medium rare and was super juicy and delicious- New york strip, lamb chops, achiote chicken, Argentinian chorizo. The server carved our meat table side so it was a fun experience.

   Best restaurant in town. From the moment you walk in the vibe change into a cool tropical Latin paradise. Sitting outside on the 18th hole with spectacular. Food was spectacular. Service was spectacular. Customers were spectacular. We met this really sweet people who is shared stories with about me being a teacher and my birthday. When the check came all it said was Happy New Year!  I didn’t understand. Did my wife already pay? Was it because of my handsome good looks? Actually, the beautiful family we were spoken with earlier took care of our dinner! WOW! 🥹 What a beautiful evening, and what a great way to start the new year. Thanks, Toro.! Bryan Howell

   First time here and it did not disappoint! For apps we ordered the Calamari and Ribeye sticks…it was delish! We then ordered sushi rolls and the Chifa Fried Rice…super delicious! We ate them all. Lastly, for dessert, you cannot skip the La Bomba (the presentation is par for the course, no pun intended as we are facing the 18th hole) It was one of the best desserts we have had. Special shoutout to the Corn Cake dessert…I could have eaten that one by myself! The ingrediants were well thought out! I will be coming back and recommending this spot! Location was easy to find and access, and the decor is fabulous!!!!

    Our food was amazing, and so was the service. We bring our three children with & they also love the food & experience. We love the way they updated the look of the entire place as well.
