   We went for brunch on a Sunday. The food was really good but the staff was lacking. We were sat at a table that seemed dirty, as there was only one place setting. We then waited probably 15 minutes before a server came by and I had to get up several times to ask for things as once we ordered, including cutlery once my food was brought out. Basically the whole time the server was nowhere to be found. A table also sat next to us and got up and left as they were waiting so long to be served and no one came.

   Well blended flavors, bringing a unique touch to/ inspiration to Latin fusion. Excellent drinks—habanero bitters in their take on the old fashioned was absolutely brilliant!

   We had the chance to try Toro during Chicago Gourmet so we had a night in the city and booked right away. Our server experience was well below average with Joe. He was inattentive and didn’t seem really comfortable working. At one point while my wife was ordering Joe actually put his finger up and said “hush” to my wife. We were flabbergasted but could see he was razzled during his shift so left it alone. As for the food, we only made it through appetizers as the food was bland and not seasoned. Left nearly all of it and went on our way. It was a rather cold overall experience and we will not return.
