  The steak her was phenomenal. Medium rare isn’t a temp that a lot of places cook to perfection, however they did it well! The atmosphere was intimate, comfortable seating, great service, etc. Next time I’ll make reservations at their speakeasy.

  I visited Toro Toro on New Year's Eve. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were quite friendly. However, I would not recommend this restaurant nor would I return. Note: I am from Peru and quite picky when it comes to food; especially when dining at costly, award winning restaurants. PROS: - Great Location - Easy Valet Parking - Nice waiting are - Got seated fairly quickly CONS: LOMO SALTADO This dish was a complete disappointment. As a Peruvian, I was quite excited to eat a Lomo Saltado, one of our most famous dishes. The portion was extreme small, the meat was a stew with shredded meat. We asked the waiter if this was correctly server and he explained it was a deconstruction (nowhere on the menu does it state this). 46 dollars for some sad rice pudding (because it wasn't even a well cooked risotto) and shredded beef stew is a complete joke and an insult to Peruvian cuisine. This dish should not be called Lomo Saltado. PERUVIAN CEVICHE Our staple dish, a complete disappointment. True Peruvian Ceviche is packed with flavor! this was just some 6 pieces of fish and that was that. 25 USD for this plate. ACEVICHADO NIKKEI ROLL Description: Fish Tiradito/leche de tigre etc. This was another disappointment. There was no tiradito anywhere, no leche tigre, the flavor was nice; however, it had nothing to do with our famous Nikkei cuisine. Please call this dish something else. 14 OZ PRIME RIBEYE Houston is famous for steaks and as this is a Steakhouse I figured this would be a hit. Again, nothing special, flavour missing and it seemed a bit small to be a 14 OZ Prime Ribeye. 60 USD. OCTOPUS ANTICUCHO The flavour was there; however, the portion almost non existent, one very tiny tentacle. 22 USD. TRUFFLE FRIES No flavour of truffle at all - it was fries with some chiles on top and cheese, seemed like something you can get at the movies or at a carnival. Disappointed and extremely overpriced at 18 USD for a very small portion. LA BOMBA Surprisingly, this was the most memorable item consumed. The ice creams and sorbet were delicious and the experience was fun. BAR The cocktails were nothing especial.

  I enjoyed a peaceful happy hour on New Year's Day. The whole hotel was quiet - a welcome feature while traveling home after the holidays. The food and drinks were wonderful and the drinks especially were huge! My only complaint is that I'm going to want to come here every time I passing through Houston.

  I went with my family for New Year's. We saw them on social media and were excited because the menu listed Peruvian ceviche, lomo saltado, and other dishes. I'm from Peru, and our food is ranked among the top 5 in the world. Unfortunately, the ceviche didn't have our traditional seasoning, and the lomo saltado was nothing like it. I think if they want to do something different, they shouldn't call it lomo saltado, as someone trying it for the first time would get the wrong idea about our cooking. I liked the atmosphere, and the service was very good. What we liked most was the dessert, the "bomba." I don't think we would go back.

  Hands down my new favorite resturant in Houston. Coming out the elevator the dining room and bar area was beautiful. Lighting was perfect, the ascetic of the resturant was sexy, the large ceiling to floor windows gave an amazing view of downtown,and the background music wasn't too loud. All of the staff was very attentive and polite. The wine selection was great, you could tell they took time and thought into the selection. Not sure about you but I really dislike an overwhelming 10 page wine selection that some resturants have. The craft drinks all looked lively and refreshing as well as the mocktails. Starters: Sweet corn empanadas were cute and small. The empanadas them self looked perfectly fried and full of stuffing. The dish taste as good as it looked. The empanada was soft but still a little crunchy, and the sweet corn was creamy. The balance of the salty from the empanada and the sweet of the corn and cream went perfect together. Octopus Anticucho was a definite wow. Octopus is so easy to mess up but this was cooked perfectly. The miso panca sauce, ají rice foam, peas, and chili chimichurri definitely paired great with the octopus. The sauce and foam was tangy but not overpowering, creamy, and a little kick from the chili. Main Course: Bone-In Beef Rib Al Carbon.. beef ribs are hard to cook. They either come out too dry, or too greasy. No...this was great. Still served on the bone but cut into little sections so that you can make lettuce wraps out of it. The pickled onion and peppers added a perfect acidity to the wrap that accentuated the flavor of the beef even more. Deserts: Lake Bonba The show with this desert was cute. Its a chocolate half sphere with 3 different ice creams, berry crumble, and brownie with vanilla & berry sauce drizzled on top. The brownie was the most moist, dense, chocolaty brownie I've ever had. The shell it self was awesome, and few times I just used the shell pieces as a spoon to scoop everything into one bite. Yellow Corn cake Presentation was beautiful. Honestly not my favorite of the deserts we had as Im a chocolate person but super cute presentation. Black sesame cream puff Oh my lord I would come here just for this and coffee. Each bite was just a fluffy chocolate cloud that melted in your mouth.
