Best Restaurants for People Watching in Tolar

My wife and I always go out for a Special Christmas Dinner every years and we always make it a new place to us and try to make it unique. This year I asked a good friend of mine Elizabeth Disch what place she would recommend and she immediately said Toulouse - it was her favorite restaurant in Dallas. That was enough said for me so I made reservations and my first impression was made at the bar while we were waiting for our table when the young bartender made for me the PERFECT Old Fashioned, not many bartenders today know how to make those !!! Then we were seated and Edwardo took perfect care of use from the mussel appetizers to my wife's trout, to my lobster. Trust me we will return many more times. Interesting, I was waiting outside for my wife when we left and an older gentleman walked up to me and we started talking, he said he was from that area originally - he said he had seen it change a lot through the years, he said Toulouse was originally an Ice Cream Shop that he use to go to , he would get an ice cream cone several times a week. He said the area had changed a lot, he said some good, some bad, but he was glad that Toulouse was there, he said he eats there often and is glad they are keep the original building as it was.

Tamara was an excellent waitress. Food was delicious, I brought two friends who'd never been there before and they loved it.

I've been only once before but invited a friend to join me last evening to celebrate the holidays. We asked our server for recommendations on food and they were spot on. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is perfect. Mark

Great food, very nice staff, nice restaurant overall. If I had one complaint it would be parking, there's not enough. I would go back to this restaurant.

The food was fantastic. King crab app was to die for and of course the tomahawk was perfectly cooked. We also got the halibut specials which was a good balance. But the hit dish was a side of mushrooms. Absolutely delicious. We got great service from Brandy and the som Brandon. We felt very taken care of. For desert we had the napoleon which was nice but the creme brûlée was so much better. We shared the 2 entrees between 4 people and it was plenty of food. I highly recommend town hearth.
