I use to work by Dumbo area and I was sick of getting sandwiches/soups for lunch. I discovered Toro and decided to give it a try. My meal consists of a soup, an appetizer and an entree all for about 14 dollars (i don't think they offer this anymore, they offer bento boxes for 9 bucks) I had the miso soup, a kani salad and a pan seared tuna... AMAZING! The kani salad was soooooooo good and the seared tuna was literally made to perfection. I've been their a few times for take-out and also to sit-in, both were great. The manager started to talk to me and she offered me a free bottle of Snapple.
I think many people gave this restaurant a poor rating because they hadn't seen the new renovated decor, tried the new menu or experience the great staff. (I didn't find the paella or the tapas on the menu!)
Pros: Pretty decor, good food
Cons: a bit isolated/far
