Toulouse has been our Christmas tradition for 15+ years. Service and food is always excellent. The hostess was superb as it was an extremely busy evening. We had reservations for 6:30 for 5 and they were running a bit late. We were comped an appetizer (a surprise as we were seated only 10 minutes late). We will definitely be returning as often as we can.

Everything that we ordered was delicious. Some of the favorites were the crab quiche and the cassoulet. The creme Brule and chocolate mouse were the dessert standouts. Would go back again without a doubt.

Food is amazing, the place is cozy, perfect for a rainy Sunday. Wasn’t too hungry with my partner, so we went light on the order - “Dutch Babies -Savory” the must order, with a bowl of clam chowder. For two people, medium level craving, it does have me the taste of the joy and allows me to not feeling too stuffed :)

Booked our table a month ago, was really excited to visit, The pink door doesn’t let us down. The Food was soooo good and we definitely ordered too much for two, we went straight with 4 Fresh Northwest oysters, Bagna Cauda(Hot Bath), Squid Ink Tonnarelli and Mama’s Meatballs; end up packing it for dinner the night as well, but it was so satisfying. Bagna Cauda (Hot bath) is the most amazing, knowing it’s just a “dip” for veggie, however, it’s different —- you have to try it to know how good it is.
