TolaniFood was very good and serviceFood was very good and service was friendly and fast. Will definitely be back!6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMMix of national cuisines done wellNew Zealand, South Africa, Spain, France, Italy. My common wisdom was always to go for restaurants that specialize in one area or type of food etc. Here they mix them together in a seamless menu that does not feel like you are traveling from country to country but rather has a coherent theme- and is well prepared and has that special something non generic taste. All in all well done.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat UWS SpotI've been here twice and the food is excellent! Wasn't very crowded on a Sunday -- and it makes you pause and wonder why -- BUT its awesome and well worth it. Go!6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMgood for a group of peopleIf you want to try different dishes, and have a "tapas" with different inspired dishes,this is for you. The food was very good, with a few exceptions (the meatball was ordinary), the rest were inventive without being over the top. Good food, nice wine unhurried dining experience.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMInteresting menuFood is excellent. Finally a place that does proper fish tacos aka not fried. Those are great. Large meat ball, muscles and the pork were all favorites of the table as well. Will go back5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMTolani is die beste restraurantDie kos is uitstekend. Die diens is vriendelik en luister. Ek is mal oor hierdie plek en sal bly terug kom.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMTolani is an intimate placeTolani is an intimate place with a small menu of interesting dishes. I tasted three of their "sharable" dishes and all were excellent. They were out of the first bottle of wine we ordered, but the fall back, an Argentine malbec, was excellent as well. The portion sizes are modest but not shockingly so; the prices a tad high - but both in accord with NY practice. (E.g., a dish of tiger prawns priced at about $19 was comprised of three large prawns.) My only quibble was that no bread was served; a basket of breasts was offered for $8.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat neighborhood find. GreatGreat neighborhood find.
