I can't think of anything to fault in our recent dining experience at Tote. I eat out a lot but I think this is the only restaurant I have visited 5 times. Everything about our evening was spot on, the food, the drinks, the service, the ambience, the attention to detail from the staff in ensuring glasses weren't empty and the timing between the courses was perfect. Consideration of our party with dietary restrictions was amazing too.
