    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I've been lucky in life to dine well, but the dinner I experienced tonight set a new standard. I began my meal with the Mercado Margarita and the Amarillo Ceviche​, which was a great balance of flavor, bright and tart. For my main I had the Snapper, which was cooked perfectly and the combination of the corn puree and slaw were delicious. At the recommendation of my server, I chose the Tres Leches for the final round. This was an exceptional dessert- light, creamy, salty, sweet, tart. The only thing that topped the food was the service I received by the entire team, my server Juliana, and the manager Cristina. I left the restaurant with a warm goodbye I rarely receive in restaurants I'm a regular at. I have traveled to Houston for work for nearly 30 years and my only regret is this was the firat time I dined at Toro Toro. Thank you all for a lovely evening.

    Xiomara and Keven!!! Amazing at the bar! Wow! Wow! Wow!!! Everything you recommended was great! Well organized! So well serviced!!!! Everything was great!!!

    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.

Even with a large party, the staff handled our orders with ease. There was no confusion or delays and our food came out in about 15 minutes, which again, is pretty impressive given our group size. Everyone ordered something different, and there were no complaints across the table about the food. I got the stuffed red snapper, and it was flavorful. You can tell the kitchen knows what it's doing. The staff were also friendly and the restaurant is very spacious and well maintained. As expected for a downtown spot, parking is what it is, so plan accordingly (weekdays are better). But overall, the efficiency, service, and quality of food made this a great experience, especially for a large group.

I feel like my food was probably sitting for a while because it wasn't hot. The omelette itself didn't really have any flavor nor did the potatoes. The most flavorful thing on the plate was the avocados and fruit. I didn't even really feel like it was an omelette. Looked more like a bunch of meat wrapped in an egg cover vs everything being nicely mixed together. I took it to go because I didn't want to throw it away there. The service was very slow. I'd say it took a little over an hour for me to get my food and some people in the group waited longer. One of the girls waited for quite a bit and then the waiter told her they don't have the item she was waiting for. Waiting 1 hr to be told your meal is isn't available is crazy lol Waiter was nice though and comped the other item she ordered. Overall, I'd say I wasn't impressed with Gloria's brunch for sure. Maybe I'd try them again for happy hour at their other location.

It had really great flavor. Coliflor ($9) - This side dish was made of roasted cauliflower steak all served on a cauliflower puree. The puree was so rich and creamy, it felt almost like mayonnaise. Pulpo ($24) - The octopus was grilled perfectly and was firm and had excellent flavor from the red tomatillo salsa and confit tomato. Purple potatoes rounded out this dish.
