From the Restaurant
Dining at Tommy Toy's Cuisine Chinoise is not only a dining feast, but also a visual museum experience. Once you walk into the restaurant, the opulent setting transports you to the royal grandeur of the ancient Ching Dynasty. Tommy Toy, a long-time restaurateur, spent years in research and planning to build his $2 million gem. The result is a perfect balance of classical, refined, and traditional Chinese recipes with the fine dining experience of French service and presentation.

High class Chinese food?
This is definitely the first time I’ve had Chinese food described as haute cuisine. But that’s what Tommy Toy’s does.
You walk in, and the look is very opulent, but in a traditional Chinese way. Almost gawdy, I have to say.
I had their dine about town menu, which had 4 courses – appetizer, soup, and 2 main entrees. I didn’t get to see their regular menu, but looking at other patrons’ tables, looks like there isn’t family style dining served here.
Food was unique, and presented well. The servers were courteous and explained dishes as they arrived.
My favorite course was the soup. It was a lobster bisque served on what looked like a ceramic coconut shell. But on top was a puffed pastry baked onto the bowl. So the soup had a huge pastry bubble on it. I must say the pastry mixed with the soup was good. And I love bisque, and this one wasn’t too heavy.
I almost forgot I was in a Chinese restaurant though, and the food I don’t know if I’d call it Chinese, either. But it was an interesting dining experience.
