I was joined by 4 colleagues for a business dinner on Tuesday evening and our waiter Chris was absolutely amazing! He addressed each of us by our first name all throughout the night, offered amazing recommendations, and was very attentive to our needs. I will definitely return and will be requesting Chris!

Our server, Christopher, was friendly, informative and attentive. Wine steward picked out an outstanding Italian red to our group’s varied tastes.

Toulouse holds such a special place in my heart as one of my dad’s and my favorite places to share a meal and make memories together. It’s a spot that will always remind me of him, and whenever I’m in the Dallas area, I make it a point to visit. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is always kind and welcoming. Toulouse is more than just a restaurant to me—it’s a place tied to some of my most cherished memories with my dad. ❤️
