“ I absolutely loved this place. Celebrated a recent birthday and they did not disappoint! My fave were their empanadas, they were DELICIOUS! It is pretty pricey, so would be a great option for a special occasion. The service was amazing as well. ”

“ Made a reservation for 2 here, and the experience was unparalleled to other finer restaurants I've been to. Upon entering, we were greeted and had no issues with our reservation. They took our coats so we wouldn't have a packed table with our belongings, so that was a nice addition. Once seated, our server was incredibly chill and lively. It is nice to have a server who actually looks like he enjoys working there and gave us some recommendations on the menu. We ordered the Smoked Swordfish Dip and Short Rib Tacos for starters, and I was indeed surprised. As someone who never had Short ribs in general, I was delighted with the new taste. The meat was nicely made and cooked through. As for the Swordfish Dip, it was definitely something I was skeptical about since I don't like seafood, but the smokiness the fish had made it taste not too fishy. I would recommend it if you like fish but personally not my cup of tea. For the main course, I had the 14oz Ribeye cooked Medium-Well, and it was the best steak I've had at a restaurant. It was beautifully seasoned, and it had a nice char to it. Despite the temperature, it wasn't difficult to cut into. It was easy to cut, and it didn't shake the table as some people like to tease others about that temperature of steak. The person I was with ordered the scallops and pork belly, and that looked equally as good, too. The cheese cake was good as well, but if anything is a little too sweet for my palate. Though I enjoyed the lemon flavor it had, which was something I enjoyed the most about it. The only thing is the slice is quite small, so if you are sharing, know your cut isn't the biggest. The atmosphere and service were the best I've seen yet. The restaurant is beautifully maintained and clean, and all staff is very respectful. The ambient lighting and music really set the tone for our stay. It was quiet throughout the evening, and I honestly have no complaints. Definitely would come here again as a date night or to hang out with a friend for dinner. Would recommend it if you enjoy to fine dine. ”

“ A return trip to Toro. So much has changed from when they first opened. The general manager Gerardo has done many improvements. I applaud the work that he has put into the service updates. Sebastian the new service manager is very competent in his position. Everything is running smoothly under his constant attention. My server Freddy and his assistant Kadi made sure that we always had what we needed at our table and for our dishes. As per usual the food was absolutely delicious. There's no doubt that they use the highest quality ingredients on everything they make. The ambiance is upscale chic. There's a wrap around bar where you can sit and have appetizers or a quick bite. The evening I went they had a couple of Brazilian dancers. The music was upbeat and the dancers were very entertaining. P.S. Rumor is that they will be serving brunch on the weekends this Spring. I can’t wait to visit soon! I highly recommend this restaurant and would trust them with any special occasion or regular dinner event. This will be a family favorite. Don't snooze on this one. ”

“ Came here after checking out from the adjacent Fairmont to grab a bite to eat before my flight. Great way to end the trip to Chicago! I never know if hotel restaurants are going to be good, but this food was surprisingly packed with flavour. I came at an off-time, as the kitchen stops serving lunch at 3pm so there wasn’t too many food options around the 3:30-5pm mark, but the food and drink that I had were great! Definitely coming back here when I return to Chicago ”

“ went for dinner for restaurant week, and the experience was outstanding. great atmosphere & service, and the food was amazing we tried: • drinks: reforma avenue, mercado margarita, yuzu fizz • starters: short rib tacos, ceviche amarillo, acevichado nikkei • specialties: lomo saltado, cusco chicken, grilled tiger prawns • desserts: homemade churros, yuzu cheesecake i enjoyed everything we tried, but standout dishes were definitely the ceviche amarillo, homemade churros, and yuzu cheesecake. the ceviche was so fresh and delicious, and it came with a wonderful variety of chips. the homemade churros were fried to perfection, and i loved the chocolate sauce & brandy dulce de leche that came with them. the yuzu cheesecake was the first cheesecake i’ve ever loved and wanted to eat more of - i’m really not a fan of cheesecake, but the yuzu flavors and the lightness of the cheesecake made it perfect definitely excited to come back, and will be thinking about the yuzu cheesecake for a long time ”

“ What an amazing way to spend our afternoon in Chicago. We met the greatest people and had the best food. Moe C was our server and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Try the mahi-mahi tacos if you go for lunch. Oh, and the steak and fries with the chimichurri sauce. Almost forgot the sweet corn empanadas. Thank me later. Moe and the entire team were the best! ”

“ As soon as we walked in, the ambiance and atmosphere was a 10/10. Everyone was super welcoming and accommodating. Our Waiter Freddy and the General Manager Gerado made our experience at Toro so memorable. All the dishes we had were delicious and super tasty. Anyone in Chicago looking for a new restaurant to try, visit Toro!!!!! We ended the night selecting what dishes we were going to try next time we come! Get the flaming coffee!! ”

“ The flavors were delicious! I got the Lomo Saltado. Our waiter said it's Peru's main dish. It was delicious. The portions are not generous, but I didn't walk away hungry. The restaurant is beautiful. It's inside the Fairmont hotel. They have Coke products. I would definitely go back. ”
