    Toro Toro Chilaquiles
    Huong N.

    My friend and I were staying at the Four Seasons and decided to have breakfast at Toro Toro. There isn't a dress code in the morning or at lunch time, but there is a strict dress code for dinner. It was a little more busy than usual so the service was pretty slow but our waiter was very nice and was absolutely doing his best. We did have a Bloody Mary for drinks- pretty standard and nothing too special. For food, I had the chilaquiles with shredded chicken. It was odd, I will say because the chicken wasn't really shredded and for an additional $8, it certainly was a lot less than expected. My friend had the eggs Benedict and salmon and said it was a little different than what he was expecting, but still good. I think the menu may be slightly overpriced, but you pay for the ambiance I guess.

    We stopped into Toro Toro inside the Four Seasons Houston and had such a great experience. The servers were super friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu, which made deciding much easier. We went with the summer special, which was three courses for $55. and it was definitely worth it. I started things off with the Ube Be cocktail. It was just the right balance of sweetness with that mellow ube finish, and the toasted coconut flake garnish added a nice little texture. For starters, we tried the Bison Tiradito and the Amarillo Ceviche. The bison was like beef tartare with really interesting textures from the pickled shimeji and greens, plus a drizzle of truffle oil that gave it extra depth. It also had just a touch of spice. The ceviche, mostly ahi tuna, was fresh and delicious--served with plantain and tortilla chips. The plantain chips were definitely the winner for me. The tortilla chips could've been a bit fresher. For mains, the chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy, with a nice charred skin and plenty of flavor from the sauces and greens on top. The steak was also solid, and the sauces really made the dish since it didn't come with sides. The sauce with the sesame seeds was mellow, while the chimichurri packed more of a punch. Dessert was the last round. The chocolate semifreddo tart with vanilla ice cream was rich and tasty, though a few of the salted pecans were very salty. Still, most bites were excellent. The churros, though, were my favorite. Even though they aren't a show stopper. They were fresh, hot, had the perfect crisp on the outside, and served with a brandy dulce de leche sauce that was incredible. Overall, I left really impressed with both the food and the service. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when in Houston.

    Excellent food! My aunt used to live at the Four Seasons and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend the La Bomba dessert. Although everything was fantastic, the salmon was my favorite. Honorable mention for the Duck Confit Tacos - my aunt loved them. Ate here both nights while in town and will be back.

    My friends booked a table for us to have mu birthday brunch. It did not know what to expect. I had not been to the Four Seasons in years since my cousin took me for brunch. She has since passed away from breast cancer, so returning was special for me. Getting there was no issue. We had reservations for Sunday October 19 at 1pm. Pulled in and immediately greeted by valet. Now the restaurant is upstairs on the second or third floor. Finding the elevators was challenge coming in so took the stairs. You think you are there after one flight. Nope. One more my friend. Now welcome to Toro Toro. Now after you catch your breath you can view the restaurant. It's open out onto the floor. It has beautiful art and the interior decorating is superior. We sat at a round table. The chairs were okay. Let's talk about the experience. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. Was not busy at all, so we got to enjoy a really intimate experience. We started off with some drinks. I had go to for the pain killer. I had not had one since I used to eat at Cheddars. I have never stepped a foot back into that place, so being able to have one that is elevated was great. We also did a flight of mimosas. We had fresh orange, mango, passion fruit, pineapple and grapefruit juices. They were divine. For brunch I went with the steak and fries. Added a side of soft scrambled eggs. We also got an order of the tres leches pancakes to share. I ordered my steak medium and it came almost well done. The fries were excellent. The eggs were perfect. The real star of the experience was the tres leches pancakes. OMG. Decadent and filling. I would go back for those again. After all the champagne had to pop into the restroom. The restrooms are beautifully put together. The star here was the soap. I legit went back to the table and raved about it. All my friends said the same thing. It was so good we asked the front desk who makes the soap. They sent my friend to the spa to inquire. We found out it is Diptyque softening and comforting wash for the hands. I went home and immediately ordered it. It came in today and my hands smell like heaven as I type this review. Worth every penny. Overall, the brunch experience was superb. Don't forget to have your valet validated by the restaurant. Check them out. It was a great time.

    My husband said it was the best meat he's ever had in his life but to me it was a 7/10 maybe be got the fattier softer side but def try it out we're from LA and wanted to try most meats available in Texan

    Crab Toast

    We've been meaning to try this place since Quattro closed after the Pandemic. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived and valeted, make sure to get your ticket stamped for a discount. ($7.58) The restaurant is on the 3rd floor, you can take the stairs or the elevator to your right when you walk in. When we got upstairs there were only 2 other patrons, so I didn't have high hopes. App: Crab Toast (Best Bite) Redfish Ceviche (Spicy) Shrimp Aguachile We ordered from the brunch menu and everything was actually tasty. Crab toast has guacamole with tons of fresh crab and pickled veggies. Redfish and Shrimp are served with Plantains and tortilla chips. The plantains were sliced thin and really crispy, but the tortilla chips were thicker and stale. All in all, it was a good meal.

    Salmon with chili jam

    Located in the Four Seasons hotel in downtown so parking may be an issue. We walked from our office building. Restaurant is tastefully decorated. Modern, sophisticated taking advantage of the floor to ceiling windows. Our server was great and very attentive. The menu had a variety of options but since this is a steakhouse I went with the steak frites which was a ribeye perfectly cooked and seasoned. Others ordered the salmon with chili jam which was also delectable.

    Came here to have dinner with colleagues. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very open concept. Our server was very attentive and assisted us with all our needs. We ordered a few appetizers which were all good and also several entrees which were not bad. The star of the show were the desserts. If you're ever downtown it's worth stopping by for a drink and dessert.

    Stylish and tasty. Service and ambiance: This restaurant is part of the hotel but walk ins are welcome. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a good vibe. The hostess was very nice and accommodated our request without any problems. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful as well. Food and drinks: The menu is designed differently for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We arrived during brunch time. I highly recommend hanger steak with sunny side eggs. I ordered medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. The meat paired well with eggs and side of rice. Our citrus salad was delicious. Tangy and sweet. All dishes were presented very well on the plates. Selection of cocktails was excellent. Pricing: $$ and worth every bit of the food quality.

    The breakfast portions are large and taste delicious. I had the h-town sunrise breakfast with fresh squeezes OJ. The service was friendly and on point. The booth with upholstered sofa seating was super comfy. I certainly recommend trying ToroToro for breakfast.

    My first time at this fancy steakhouse located in the Four Seasons Hotel. Came with a group, for my friends bday. Birthday girl made an early resy. We had the dining room, essentially to ourseleves. At first, they placed our party of 6 near their fireplace. And while it was asethetically pleasing, we were very hot. So the staff were kind enough to seat us elsewhere, and it was much cooler. The place is modernly decorated with a beautiful bar outside the dining area. Food - I wanted to keep it light. So I ordered the Octupus Antichupo. It was pretty tasty. Grilled octopus with what I can describe as a some kind mash potato cup underneath. Everyone else seemed satisfied with their meal as well. Service - was great. I believe our server was Manuel, a cutie. But my receipt says Rakshman? So I'm not sure.

    I really like the bar and restaurant concepts at The Four Seasons Houston. I've eaten at Toro Toro twice over the past year and both visits were good. 1st visit: HRW 2023 We had dinner on a Tuesday evening. We didn't realize that they have live music on Tuesday nights. The duo that performed were great, however the volume was extremely loud! We had a hard time hearing each other even though we were seated towards the back of the restaurant away from the band. I had the Tamarindo cocktail and I enjoyed it. I started with the Wedge Salad for my first course. It's pretty simple, but tasty. I really enjoyed the bacon on the salad. I subbed the poblano blue cheese dressing with ranch dressing. For my entree, I had the Salmon. It was really good and I enjoyed the bok choy that accompanied it. For dessert, I ordered the Churros. These were excellent! My dining companions and I tried each other's dishes and we all enjoyed everything we had. I can't recall our server's name, but she was really nice and did a great job. 2nd Visit: July 2024 I came with a group for my friend's birthday dinner. We were seated in a room off the main dining area. It was more quiet which was nice. We were initially near the fireplace, but it got hot very quickly so we were moved to a different table. The fireplace provided a nice ambiance, but we didn't need the additional heat! I started with a cocktail called Loquito Por Ti. It tasted like a spicy berry margarita. It was a pretty drink because of the butterfly pea flower and I wish I would have taken a photo if it. For my entree, I had the Zarandeado Red Snapper. It was so good! The grilled avocado with corn and the chayote salad were tasty too, however the chayote was salty. The flavors overall complimented each other well. My main criticism of this dish is the portion of the red snapper. It was soooo small (I would estimate about 4-5 oz.). It wasn't worth the price. I was hungry an hour later and ended up going back to Bayou and Bottle for a snack after having a drink at Bandista. Manuel was our server and he was excellent! All of the staff that waited on us were great! I like Toro Toro, but I would probably only come back for a special occasion or for HRW.

It also felt like a third space of sorts, because I was hanging out with a well connected friend, and everyone who came in was a who's who of the Houston restaurant/nightlife scene, and gathered for what turned out to be an unplanned hang out. They were hosting a vinyl swap night, so folks were coming in to peruse the many boxes of vinyls, and a DJ spun classic r&b tunes. I hear that on some nights they make space for a dance floor so people can show off their best two step in the space. The drinks were great and well priced but the wine selection is what got me. I was told they were inspired by Japan's many vinyl listening bars-- having been to many across Japan as well as many NYC imitators, this place actually impressively comes close. A true gem in Montrose.

Regarding the food, the Frisée Salad was pretty good, well dressed and flavorful. The chicken sandwich was okay. The batter was crispy and flaky but it had no flavor. What made it a lot better was the coleslaw that brought a great deal of tang and moisture. The steak was not quite for me. It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.

Located in Midtown this cute spot offers good music, fine food, and great ambiance. The mood is set with a soundtrack of classic hits playing in the background, and let's not forget about that bathroom, it's wild!

I was greeted warmly from the second I stepped in the door! While I waited for my party to arrive I sat at their bar area and ordered a Pineapple Mule served with a smile. Right off the bat I connected with James , one of the waitstaff who also happened to be serving our table. He was so the BEST! Hands down the most awesome waitstaff I've ever met. He made our time there special. I felt like I've known him for years, and he knew just how to connect with each person in our group! We all fell in love with him instantly! Tonight (likely due to the Valentine's Day crowd) the meal was pre-set for every guest. This meal included bread, salad, and Collette steak in their special sauce, with fries. There were dessert options as well, from which I chose a key lime pie. And an assortment of after dinner coffees. What blew my mind was that they came around and offered more food to us after finishing our first entree plate! I wasn't expecting that, and was pleasantly surprised. Parking for this location sits right behind the restaurant, a parking garage that is free. Because of the number of shops and restaurants around (an especially since this was Valentines weekend) parking can be at a premium during certain points of the day, so think about that when coming. There is also street parking available too. Seating for Medium Rare is offered both inside and outside (patio). The price average for this place is moderate, and folks can dress up or down. It is a beautiful place for a girls night out, date night, celebrations, brunch, etc! I had a wonderful time here! An amazing experience for sure. P.S. they give you Bazooka gum at the end of your meal! That brought back good memories for sure! This was my first time coming, and it won't be my last. This place is definitely worth checking out!

For my entree I had the Surf & Turf, the steak was good but I've had better, mash potatoes were creamy, and the stuffed shrimp taste great but the sweet chilli lime sauce didn't pair well with the dish. I was too full for dessert so I took my chocolate cake home to go! Cake was moist, notes of coffee were perfection but the icing tastes like chocolate pudding. Overall the food was decent not a place I'd say I'd run back to.

    My first visit to Marmo during Houston Restaurant Weeks was exceptional. The restaurant's warm,…read moreenergetic atmosphere--filled with families and even a bridal party--set the tone for a memorable evening. Our appetizers, the bruschetta and the chicken and beet salad, were beautifully prepared. The Gulf red snapper entrée was outstanding: fresh, delicate, and served in a creamy broth accented with sun‑dried tomatoes. Dessert was equally impressive, with both the carrot cake and tiramisu offering a perfect finish. With excellent service and thoughtfully crafted dishes, Marmo has earned a spot on my list of places to return to.

    Came here the other day for HRW which they had good options. It was my second time here but both…read moretimes the pasta has been incredible. From the HRW menu we had the hamachi, skirt steak, and tiramisu. The hamachi (crudo) tasted very fresh and the garnishes they add goes very well with it, just kinda crazy how that appetizer is already $20 for regular pricing. The skirt steak turned out much better than I expected. For medium rare it was still so tender, juicy, and the roasted garlic elevated the flavor, I'd highly recommend it. Overall very well seasoned. Side note it's 8oz which on the HRW menu is the same as the regular menu. We added on the Squid Ink Campanelle which I've heard is really good and a must-try. It's very rich in flavor and the squid ink doesn't taste earthy or anything. If I remember correctly our server said it was mostly for color. Needless to say I'd highly recommend this as well, probably one of the more unique pasta dishes I've had. Service was great, they take your used plates promptly and give you fresh clean ones. Our server was friendly and was able to explain how the HRW menu worked so we appreciated that. Though the menu is a little pricey, I'd still come back to try their other dishes in the future!

    5//5 on food. Highlight of the night was definitely the dry aged duck. They say it's for 2 but…read morehonestly I think it's more for 3! There was still a ton left over. Loved the creme brulee for dessert! Had the Dead Flower to drink and that was probably my favorite mocktail! 5/5 on service as well. Our server had great recommendations for drinks and food. He was also super attentive. 5/5 on ambiance. Was definitely giving an upscale vibe.

    If you enjoy decadent food, Credence is the spot! The interior is refined but still welcoming and…read morelively with Southern charm. Service was amazing-- we loved our waiter who was a combination of polite, funny, and knowledgeable, and everyone gave us a smile. All the dishes were beautifully presented and flavorful but definitely on the heavier side. - Beet salad (5/5)-- wow, never had a beet salad like this one before! So much flavor with a tanginess from vinegar sweetened by the blueberries and beets. The beets didn't taste very earthy (aka like dirt) compared to most beet salad. This was really well executed :) - Caesar salad (3.5/5)-- Credence's spin on Caesar, which according to my Caesar salad pro diner, didn't really taste like Caesar salad. Also very tangy and tart but the pro still enjoyed it as a salad dish. - Roasted cabbage (4/5)-- big fan of the way they roasted this, perfect tenderness without being cabbage mush! Definitely a heavy dish, especially for a vegetable option, as it was swimming in a butter cream sauce that started to congeal as it cooled off. Would choose this more as an indulgent appetizer rather than a healthy veggie option. I wonder if one could ask for the sauce on the side... - Tuna tostada (3.5/5)-- if you like strong flavors, this one packs a punch. The gochujang aioli beneath the tuna is really concentrated, making it difficult to taste the actual tuna. There's a bit of heat but thankfully I wouldn't say it was spicy. Fun to try. The tostada itself was very dense and almost a bit bread-y versus a crispy chip texture. - Crab fried rice (4/5)-- comes with lobster foam that is mixed table side and a generous amount of crabmeat lumps. The rice actually had a nice texture without being too... grainy / individualized, but it was too salty for me. - Akaushi Wagyu beef (4.5/5)-- loved the texture which was tender but with some chew (was expecting more of a melt-in-the-mouth texture though) and the veggies that it came with. It was heavily salted, too much so for me. Would've been perfect with less salt since there's already a chimichurri sauce with it. - Peanut butter tart (4.5/5)-- peanut butter lovers rejoice! The chocolate filling was rich, thick, and sweet which was complemented nicely with the whipped cream (not sweet at all). The peanut flavor really shined. The crust didn't have much of a taste by itself and was sandy in texture, not sure if on purpose or over-baked and dried out. Either way, the tart looked impressive when it arrived and was delectable-- my favorite bite of the night! Overall a nice experience! Although there was a mess up and the rest of our two salads and crab rice wasn't packed with our other food to take home; I was pretty sad about that since it was quite a bit of food (and $$). I might return for that peanut butter tart, but everything else was too heavy and too salty for me. I'm personally not a huge butter fan, but if you are, definitely make a reservation for a special occasion or date!
