This place is amazing. You literally pay for what you drink since you’re your own server. Cocktails, beer, exotic drinks on tap you name it. Not to mention the board games and calming ambiance. Highly recommend you go with 3 or more friends on a cold night for maximum satisfaction.

One of the best hotel restaurant I’ve eaten at. Great food, drinks, service and vibe. We were seated fairly quickly during lunch time at the bar. Our bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and the beers they had on tap. I went ahead and order some small plates such as the steak seasoned fried calamari which was so crispy and savory. Their pimento cheese dip with that crusty bread was one of my favorite snacks. Pricing was a bit high but it is connected to the hotel and with it being in downtown, it was expected.

We decided to stop in for a quick early weekday lunch today. It wasnt too busy allowing the servers to build rapport with us. Moe is an absolute gem, a proud Chicago native, who is happy to share tips and facts about his city. The fries that came with the turkey club were incredible, so hot and fresh. The recommended salmon salad was also very good. Overall we had a great experience.

I cannot say how much I was wowed/delighted/impressed with my dining experience at Toro. From the lovely hostess to the outstanding, friendly and super knowledgeable waiter, our night was perfect. The drinks were imaginative, the food outstanding and the taste experience was inventive and delicious (the scallops!). The management and the staff have done a fabulous job presenting and representing Chef Sandoval’s vision, a veritable burst of flavors infusing the cuisine of South and Central American cuisines. Highly recommending. We will dine here again.

The. Best. Happy. Hour. Honestly, it was so good that we went two afternoons in a row. But, with 2 craft beers and 5-6 appetizers, can you blame us? The chicken wings were incredible but we also loved the popcorn shrimp. The pretzels were also good but the maple mustard was even better. Our service was also great but the best part was having the place all to ourselves so we could feel safe eating inside during these COVID times.

I went there for breakfast after going to dinners that had 30 minutes wait lines. Thank goodness it did not disappoint us. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. The home fries were perfect!

We visited on the St. Patrick's day and enjoyed every minute. Luckily got a reservation that day. They had special menu with green theme. And the live band was just amazing.

Stayed at the connected hotel and ate here twice for convenience. Food was really good and the service was great. I had a burger the night before and it was huge and well made. The breakfast was nice as well and we got a nice view from the restaurant
