An absolutely wonderful experience, from start to finish! The service from every staff member we encountered was wonderful, and the food was fantastic! This was our first time visiting (our daughter chose for her birthday dinner), and we will certainly be back, no question!

Visited for a late lunch and appreciated the calm atmosphere, as it was quiet past 2 PM. The ambiance was inviting and relaxed. I ordered the steak and eggs, and the steak was cooked exactly to my preference. I also tried the wagyu burger, which was flavorful and well-executed. The French Martini was a highlight—fruity, refreshing, and perfect for the warm day. The head chef came by for a brief chat after our meal. Overall service was excellent and food was great.

Excellent lunch option with a great location. Taureaux’s lunch options were great and you will not leave there hungry. Top notch service as we were checked on by multiple team members about our experience, but not in an intrusive way. Very nice experience and I need to check out their dinner and bar another time. Great venue.
