    This restaurant is amazing! I’m traveling for work and support farm-to-table where possible for so many reasons. I was staying near this restaurant and lucked out. Last night I had the mushroom pappardelle with scallops. That meal was so good that I went back tonight (the next night) and had one of their specials - wild sea bass with saffron couscous and a mushroom, tomato compote followed be a dessert special of cranberry gingerbread with an orange glaze. The service was excellent and the food was beyond good!

    From reservation to checkout, we love the precise and welcoming quality of eating at Toro Cantina. We haven’t been to Toro in a few months and there were pleasant renovations in the main table Area. Our seats were comfortable and there was plenty of space for our party of 10. The young people truly enjoy the children’s selections - one calls the chicken the best ever!! Adults Shared the large lobster quesadilla and the large mixed salad along with appetizers of table sized guacamole and queso with chips. Drinks were satisfying and yummy. Soup was delicious. A young athlete at the table devoured the beef taco. As always, service was fast, friendly and very accommodating. Granddaughter from out of town requested Toro for Christmas visit treat and all were delighted!!
