" After hearing great reviews about TORA, I finally decided to check it out for my birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint! The food presentation was an art in itself. I specially enjoyed their grilled eel—it was cooked to perfection, and the sweet soy glaze was divine. The cocktails were refreshing and unique, perfectly complementing the meal. My friends and I had a lovely evening, and the service was attentive yet relaxed. If you're looking for a place that combines quality food in a stunning setting, TORA is the place to go. Just a note, the portions could be a bit larger considering the price, but overall it's worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)
