Taureau

"What an absolutely lovely evening this was. The bar + food selection is amazing, the prices are totally reasonable, and the staff were attentive and lovely. My boyfriend and I were over the moon from the time we sat down to the end of the meal. We got the Pyrenees cheese first, with bacon, chorizo, pears, and apple, and then the hanger steak in white wine broth. The space is cozy and intimate and warm. If you are tired of tiny cocktails, loud buzz, and meh dinner options, this is such a fun date night! My boyfriend is an executive chef and hard to impress, and he said it was a tremendous way to celebrate his birthday. Thank you to the staff that made a lovely night!"

"Been coming here for a year and an half and am a frequent visiter (2 to 3 times a month). When I started coming, it really was great. Heavy portions, excellent service. But recently that has changed. They have changed to an a la carte menu and now does not allow refills for the chocolate dippings. Originally you could get as many refills on the fruits, marshmallows and cakes as your chocolate needs. But now you finish your dippings and there’s a quarter of the chocolate left. So unless you’re paying extra for the dippings, your sol. It’s ridiculous. Additionally, the last 3 times I’ve gone to taureau, the cake they serve is ridiculously dry, hard and yesterday was burnt. The first time I received bad cake, it was so hard I could beat the cake on the plate and it would not break. I showed the waiter and he took it away. At this time, you could get refills on other things. The second time, you could not get the refills. So he gave me some more strawberries. The third time, yesterday I was given fresher cake since the cake was literally burnt. I don’t understand why I would be served literal burnt black cake (the burnt cake being the white cake… no excuse for a darker color) when there were fresher pieces. Additionally, yesterdays service was less than usual. It was the most busy time I have ever seen the restaurant (5 tables) but I do expect good service given the price and my level of frequency. Whenever there are large tables, you get neglected as a smaller table. This has happened to me multiple times at the restaurant. Often times salad and bread refills take longer (8/9 minutes), but wine being served, orders being taken for the larger tables, items being given to the other tables, etc. Never being asked how the food is. Having to ask for water, salad, bread refills as they waitress passes the table and never stops by. Having to wait 10/15 minutes for the bill to come. Given the amount of money the restaurant has made with my patronage (cheese and chocolate fondue for 2, wine, cheese dippings every time and occasionally filet mignon additional course), I would expect not to be served hard, dry nor burnt cake nor would I expect less than good service. I know all these waiters/waitresses, and 20 percent tip is ALWAYS given when I go. I am additionally disappointed the refills for the fondue were taken away. Hopefully it is better the next time I adventure out to you guys. :("

"This is absolutely my favorite fondue place, even better than anywhere I’ve been in Europe. The truffle fondue is out of this world, and the chef’s idea to bake the croutons was simply genius!! It makes the perfect combination. I’ve actually read some reviews complaining about this, but this person might not know that you need to completely dip your piece of bread in the pot and stir the bottom. Fondue is made of a combination of cheeses, and each have a different density. Therefore, with every bite, you need to stir your cheese in the fondue pot to ensure you’re picking up all the flavor. Simply delicious!"

"This place is a staple for a great long night out, highly suggest! Always going with the full three course option which gives you cheese fondue with bread and salad, a protein course cooked in red wine broth, and finally a delicious chocolate course. The prices may seem pretty high at first and then you realise it is more of an experience than any other sit down restaurant. You actually get to share the time together with whoever you have gone with, dipping or cooking your own meal together while indulging. This is totally a different experience than getting the meal placed in front of you and you eat and leave. You can easily spend two hours here if they let you on a non-busy night. Food is great, ambiance is nice, and the price is fair. Definitely would suggest checking out Taureau!"

"Some of the best food I have had in a long while. We had a party of 6 and all shared so I had an opportunity to try a bunch of the dishes and desserts. The flank steak and filet mignon where top notch and the seafood pasta was amazing. The apitizers also didn't disappoint, the escargot was the best I have had anywhere. The service always also very fast and servers very attentive. I would definitely go back and I recommend everyone give it a try!"
