Love It 5/26/2006

It is located by one of the greatest views of the Brooklyn Bridge. I was pleased to find it. I had a great time with my friends, we were lucky to get there on friday night during there half price drinks. We order some tapas and drinks by the lid bar and stood all night. We had great time! LOved it! Pros: Food, Location, Bar more

Just have to go! 4/26/2006

This is new and wonderful to Old fulton Street Landing. As a neighbor and a customer I can say it has a wonderful Ambience. The food is highly recommended, the lid bar and third floor adds to the ambince. The service needs to improve, but it is average. Very inexpensive for the area. Pros: Decor, Bar, Inexpensive Cons: service more

Nothing Special here 4/12/2006

Toro is in an interesting neighborhood in a building that used to be a bank when the brooklyn Bridge was build. The space itself is nice they could have done better...The food and prices were average but small. We didnt have sushi...The service was horrible. We were seated promptly but although place was empty it took about 20 minutes to get us menus...20 minutes later they came with 2 glasses of water and 1 bread basket for 15 people. 10 min later we got more water and bread. We ordered drinks and food at the same time...And most of us got the food and drinks at the same time about 45 minutes after ordering. Go elsewhere!! Pros: Place, price Cons: Service, Service, Service more

Went home hungry 2/1/2006

One of the worst experiences in my life. To make a long story short, I knew there was a problem when the waiter took my drink order. After ordering my main course, the waiter returns 5 minutes later telling me there was a problem with my order and what exactly did I order. Now, I was part of a big group and the appetizers we ordered was fine, (sushi boat, little sausages, salad) but when the food came out, both paella dishes were undercooked, my food (steak) did not even show up. After complaining about the wait, the waiter was confused as if I never ordered the steak. By the time the food came, I had no interest in eating it. HORRIBLE SERVICE. I couldn't even say what the food tastes like since I had none. I went home to eat Chef Boyardee. Pros: atmosphere, decorations, location Cons: Service, Service, Service more

Menu does not describe the dishes properly at all 5/12/2005

Sake flights were a good value and were very tasty. Dinner came before appetizers, which is a mistake, but forgivable. Maki combo for two was decent, but only the size of a single person's combo at a typical restaurant. Also, it was both maki and nigiri, not just maki. Ceviche was disgusting--just poor quality tuna sashimi with some chopped cilantro, not marinated in anything, much less any citrus juices. Also, an extremely tiny portion. Mushroom appetizer was doused in a gross mayonnaise like sauce and had not been described that way on the menu. Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff, but that was the fault of the inaccurate menu. The space of the restaurant was really nice, but they need a new chef and to reprint the menu. Pros: decor, neighborhood, sake Cons: portion size, spanish style food, inaccurate menu more

THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN ALL OF NEW YORK CITY 4/30/2005

I STUMBLED ON TORO WHILE WALKING TO PICK ON MY WIFE. I PEAKED IN SIDE AND COULD NOT BELIEVED THE INSIDE OF TORO, I THOUGHT I WAS IN DISNEY. I DECIDED TO TRY THE PLACE OUT WITH MY WIFE AND TO MY GREAT SURPRISE, THE FOOD, SERVICE WAS SECOND TO NONE.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE MIXTO, WHICH WAS MOROCCAN OCTOPUS, SEA SCALLOPS, AHD GULF SHRIMP WITH PIC DE GALLO. FOR DESERT I HAD THE DELIICIA DE CHOCOLATE , WHICH I COULD HONESTLY SAY WAS SO AWSOME, THAT I ACTUALLY TOOK 2 MORE TO GO. THE WAITRESS WAS SWEET AND THE WHOLE EXPERENCE LEFT US SMILING, I PROMISE TO MYSELF THAT I WOULD MAKE A POINT OF IT , THAT AT ANYTIME IM IN BROOKLYN, THAT TORO WILL BE ON MY LIST OF PLACES TO GO..... more

One of the Best places to go in Brooklyn 4/29/2005

Great food, Great location, Wonderfull Staff all inside a historic building that was transformed into a restaurant, bar and lounge. A must go to if you are in New York! This is an example of how New York City is a great city. This Historic location is a dream that turned into a reality for Mars and Tom the owners. Mars who is Spanish and Tom who is Asian made this location into a fusion of both worlds. Sushi with Tapas, Sanqria with sake and all other sort of great dishs. This is a must if your out for a good time! Pros: Deco, Inexpensive, Location more

BEST SUSHI IN NEW YORK CITY 4/23/2005

IVE BEEN EATING SUSHI NOW FOR 10 YRS AND NEVER HAD SUSHI LIKE THIS BEFORE. THE SAKE SUSHI AND IKURA WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD, AND IT PRACTICALLY MELTED IN YOUR MOUTH. THERE IS OVER 10 KINDS OF SAKE, ON MENU WE CHOSE THE KAMOIZUMI WHICH I THINK I MAY HAD HAD TO MANY. IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A AUTHENTIC MENU OF SUSHI AND SAKE, TORO IS THE PLACE TO DINE AT more

BEST PLACE IN BROOKLYN TO TAKE A DATE 4/22/2005

Dish after dish of superbly prepared food, simply presented but boasting top-notch ingredients, finely tuned seasoning and consistency of standards. We started with appetizers ,toasted bread with skewers of shrimp and a incredibly awesome beef skewers with a lack of greasiness. Pia was probably my favorite, generous pieces of tender and smoky grilled squid, mussels, clams and shrimp on a bed of risotto rice Spanish our super-friendly waitress was helpful in explaining the dishes and knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparation methods. The wine list has an excellent range of internationally sourced bottles, with a impressive range of Spanish wines Toro now ranks as one of my favorite eateries in new york city. more

Wow what an amazing place. 3/7/2005
