  • My husband and I were staying at the Fairmont for a weekend getaway. We did not feel like venturing far off the property but have been to several steak restaurants recently and weren't in the mood for Mexican so decided to check out this newer offering by the Fairmont. All I can say is WOW!!! The menu is interesting and can be a little overwhelming but we had a fabulous server (ask for Chris!) who offered up amazing suggestions, most of which we ordered. We started with the the braised beef empanadas appetizer (they had run out and the chef made a new batch just for us despite the fact they were closing soon) - YUM. Then we had the Mexican campfire snapper, Asian Vegetable Saltado (basically Pad Thai) and a side of the Chipotle Pork Belly Mac and Cheese. Double YUM. Not a bad morsel. I will say everything has a bit of a kick to it. I typically can't handle spicy food and while a few items were slightly beyond what I would normally withstand, the flavor was well worth it. I only wish we could have tried everything on the menu! Oh, I almost forgot - the bread they bring at the beginning is divine! Ask how they make it, fascinating. We were too full for dessert but several tables around us that the Bomba and it looked amazing. We were also told by our shuttle driver that the chocolate cake is something special. Both items are large enough for 4+ people. We are already planning our return visit and I'll probably starve myself beforehand so I can eat more! Not only was the food incredible but the service too. We came in at 8:30pm and their posted hours are until 9pm (we weren't the only ones but it was thinning out). Our server, Chris, has a passion for the restaurant and shared interesting details about the menu, Latin food in general (we didn't realize the Japanese influence in South America) and the Fairmont. He was so upbeat and positive despite having worked valet all day and serving dinner all night. I admire his energy! He never rushed us and made sure we had the best experience they could offer. As for the ambiance, the restaurant does have live music on weekends and the bar and dining room are all open with no delineation. We asked to be seated furthest away from the band and while it was a tad loud, it wasn't anything unbearable. I'm not sure what the noise level is during the week but it isn't a quiet romantic place but rather modern and upbeat. We are telling all our friends and family about Toro and will be returning soon!
