    Jim and I went for my Birthday. It was our first time dining there. We will definitely go again. The service and ambience were outstanding. We shared the mussels which were delicious. We had the duck confit and the scallops as mains. Truly both delicious and presentation was beautiful. Bravo Gezellig!

    We have had countless meals at Tosca and this was our second year hosting our office Christmas party there. The food and service was amazing as always. Alessandra was our waitress this year and she was exceptional. I definitely recommend this restaurant, one of the best ones in town.
