After hearing great things and seeing positive reviews of how they handle gluten and dairy free pizzas, we decided to give it a try. Even though we have very few choices of trustworthy restaurants in the area, I will not be returning here. The prices are outrageous…and I’m not even speaking of the extensive upcharges for gluten and dairy free options. $50 for 2 pepperoni pizzas (one gf/df)?! Absurd. Way too many pepperonis. Waitress did her minimal job and talked me out of sharing a gf pizza with my daughter because it was “about 10 inches”. It was the same size as the normal. My biggest complaint was the children’s birthday party taking place in the restaurant with screaming 6 year olds running around. The families, some of whom are connected to the restaurant, were oblivious to the fact that several other families were there. Expensive pizza. Terrible management of out of control children. Average service. Not for me. Won’t be back.

I strongly advise against dining at the Market Place restaurant due to their negligence resulting in my daughter falling severely ill. Despite informing the waitstaff about her celiac condition, they served her a gluten-containing dish, even after confirming twice that it was gluten-free. Additionally, they failed to deliver all the entrees to our table at the same time, 15 mins apart. The manager's insincere apology and a mere 30% discount on our bill were hardly satisfactory. If you prioritize food safety and adhering to allergy restrictions, I recommend avoiding this restaurant.

Enjoyed a fun night of hibachi at Toro last night. The reason for writing this review is because I was really impressed by their handling of multiple food restrictions of 3 of the diners.We had a shellfish allergy, dairy (butter) allergy, and I am gluten free. They did it with ease and we weren't made to feel like a hassle. They made mine in the kitchen with GF soy sauce and even substituted rice noodles for the lo-mein noodles that are usually served. Thank you Toro.
