    The 4 of us ( Two couples) celebrated my Grandson’s birthday. Our server was such a pleasure, as he explained every dish cheerfully and took care of our every requests. I had the Lobster Pasta dish, and it was fantastic. My wife had the Crab Cakes and my grandson had the Chilean Sea-bass. All choices were excellent. All in all, a 5 star plus experience. We will definitely return to this lovely restaurant the next time we are in town!

    Maria was our server and she was incredible. She recommended a lot of great options for our dinner and was very attentive. We ordered the poke stack, crab cakes, chimichurri salmon and the lobster and filet mignon. Everything was absolutely cooked to perfection and I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to leave in a delightful food coma 🤪

    We had an outstanding meal at Toulouse. The staff was great, and let our two dogs join us at a corner table. The shrimp and grits was spectacular, as were the Brussels sprouts, and shrimp salad. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting it again.
