The Scene
In the elegant dining room, businessmen, older residents and tourists stare wide eyed at elaborately embroidered tapestries, carved wooden archways, regal stone Buddhas and polished brass chandeliers. Tables covered in crisp champagne-hued linens are topped with gleaming silver settings and vases bursting with fresh blooms. Tuxedo-clad servers are attentive without being overbearing, making sure nary a crumb or empty water glass goes unattended.
The Food
Classics like crispy Peking duck on lotus buns are side by side with fusion-friendly picks such as pan-fried foie gras with sliced pear. The signature, seven-course prix-fixe starts with silky seafood bisque served in a flaky pastry shell and minced squab served with a piquant sauce, and is crowned by a whole Maine lobster braised with mushrooms and chives in a peppercorn sauce. Black cod smoked with camphorwood and tea leaves offers a subtle, complicated play of flavors, but dessert--peach mousse with strawberry compote--is an overly sweet letdown.

Hosted a dinner for 26 people last Thursday. Staff was very helpful leading up to event. Chose the Signature menu and various wines. Staff/wine was ready when guests arrived. Service was prompt, attentive, but not intrusive. Food is outstanding. Some of the finest presentation ever. Perfectly prepared and delivered at right temperature and preparation. Price is reasonable for the amount of food provided and quality. Not small plate type experience, but you won't feel like you just ate a 64 oz porterhouse either. Never felt rushed throughout the evening and felt like we were the most important guests in the restaurant. Second time hosting groups but this was largest. Will always return for the experience. Ambience is first class as well!

We went to Tommy Toy's for dinner last night. We all picked the food from the Dine About Town Menu. It's only $35 for 4 courses, but the dessert was not included in this menu. You have to pick it from the regular dessert menu and pay extra for it. However, It's worth trying their dessert selections. We liked the triple chocolate mousse cake and the signature dessert. The ambiance was nice too, actually inside was not as dark as I thought. We'll definately return to this restaurant in the next DAT event because their services and DAT menu were great.

Tommy Toy's is an experience like no other. The dark, elegant dining room evokes the feeling you've walked into a palace. I went here for Chinese New Year and it was a fun filled night. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and special. The food is superb, but definitely not the standard Chinese food take out fare.
