I hosted a corporate dinner at Taureaux and they did a wonderful job. They were responsive and helpful during the planning process and very welcoming/accommodating during the actual event. It was hotter than expected and I had booked the terrace. They found multiple fans for us which really made a difference and everyone was comfortable. The food and service were great and overall very successful event. Thanks to Carole, the Manager, and the staff.

730 table but rushed to order as kitchen closing. Good food, restaurant lacking atmosphere.
