| - Went to Toro for the first time last night, and it was GREAT! The friends who came with us have some dietary limitations, and we typically share dishes, which can be a challenge for restaurants that we visit. The Toro staff handled us all without missing a beat; accommodating our friends while still giving all of us the full experience of every dish. Everyone was very nice, and took good care of us, but the highlight of our night was Caitlin.
Known as the "Rum Princess," (and how cool is that?), Caitlin is the reason we'll return to Toro. She gave us outstanding food recommendations, perfect guidance on the rums, and generally made our night a great experience.
The food: get the fried rice! No, stop telling me about your favorite fried rice at your favorite Asian restaurant, and just order it. That and the short rib empanadas were "I'll have that again" dishes.
Also, the chocolate cake with dulce de leche layers between? WOW!!!! So good, and another definite for the next visit.
Go to Toro. Period. Put yourself in Caitlin's hands. You won't be disappointed. I'll review an entrée next time (when I actually have one); regardless, I'm going back, and so should you.
