    Another great night going to Totos. As soon as you walk you your greeted by Koka. She is a wonderful bartender who makes great drinks and even better conversation. When seated the server and owner both came to welcome us. We ordered 2 different Veal dishes that were outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant. Service and food are both top-notch. We have been here 3 times and each time is a great experience. We will be returning.

    Food is always great! The staff is always very friendly and on their game. Had a few different types of sushi and they were all awesome along with the appetizers we orders. Danny, the owner, is a great host! We’ll be back again.

    I brought my long time friend here for a Galentine's dinner and it was perfect! We had a chance to really chat & catch up in a private but very fun space. The servers were lovely and more than happy to accomodate our "in no rush" timeline (on a Tuesday if course). It was the perfect spot for a cute dinner night out! Food was great, Italian is NOT her first choice but she loved it!
