We showed up as a party of three while the fourth person in our group was parking the car. The restaurant had a table for four available, as well as two separate tables each for two people. The hostess said she would seat us momentarily in the four-top, but asked us to wait while our fourth arrived. The couple behind us was seated to split the four-top (instead of in one of the available two-tops), thus making it impossible for us to be seated at a table. We sat at the bar and watched while the available three two-tops went unoccupied for the hour-and-a-half we were at the restaurant. What a drag. Ruined the evening for us. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Who needs the attitude?

5 of us ventured there last week. Bar service was delightful. Sangria was good. Suggestions were helpful. All of us thought the food was solid - 2 rounds of 4 different tapas dishes - but no one really was blown over by any one dish. The small space is a bit uncomfortable but the crowd adds to the vibe. I would recommend a small party to go (much easier to sit 2 or 4) early to not have to wait in the crowd. I think the press and the hype of being a Ken restaurant had my expectations high so I was bit disappointed - that being said, the others in my party had never heard of the place and they said they would go back but not necessarily anytime soon.

This might just be the best of both worlds.
(Full review)Expensive hamburgers are nothing new.
(Full review)Ken Oringer, both revered and controversial in Boston culinary circles, took so long to open his new tapas bar that a frenzy of anticipation simmered from summer through the autumn and erupted into a full boil when winter hit.
(Full review)All of this adds up to Toro — wildly popular, insanely crowded, ridiculously noisy. And tricky to write about.
