Tobala

Beautiful Restaurant! The atmosphere is amazing we loved the decor from the point you enter to the bathrooms in the back.
The service is outstanding.
The food was good we got filled with apps and barely could finish our entrees.
Will definitely need to return for a day time meal to see the place in daylight.

Great place for drinks in Riverdale and a quick bite to eat at the bar.
If you’re looking for something romantic, this is a strong contender.
Candle lit tables and aromatics fill this space with great music, food and drinks.
The service at the bar was fast and friendly.
Drinks were consistent and food came out in good time.
Pictured are the mariposa, serenata, guacamole and chips and the esquites.
All were delicious and had great presentation.
Tobala was somewhat busy on a Friday night which died down after 10pm or so.
I’d recommend reservations as the weather gets better as there is plenty of outdoor seating available.

I feel taken advantage of, robbed even. My friend and I went to Tobalá to have the Valentine prefixe menu.
We reserved our table via Resy, and paid a non-refundable deposit of $50 EACH, which they stated would go towards the overall tab at the end of the night. Our reservation was for 7pm, yet we were seated at a bit after 7:30pm, and did not receive our first course until 8:30.
The wait time in-between courses was ridiculous and every dish was more mediocre than the last.
The staff was pretty nice whenever they stopped by our table, but that was a rare occurrence in itself. When it was time to pay, they did not include the $100 we had already put towards the bill until we informed them.
And when asked to split the bill in half between two cards, they ended up putting 1/3 on one card and 2/3 of the bill on the other. I would not come back, and definitely not recommend.
I was looking forward to visiting this new addition to the Riverdale area, and really sad that this was the experience we got.
Truly baffled. Overall we spent $300 on an unimaginative and tasteless meal.
