Hosted a dinner for 26 people last Thursday. Staff was very helpful leading up to event. Chose the Signature menu and various wines. Staff/wine was ready when guests arrived. Service was prompt, attentive, but not intrusive. Food is outstanding. Some of the finest presentation ever. Perfectly prepared and delivered at right temperature and preparation. Price is reasonable for the amount of food provided and quality. Not small plate type experience, but you won't feel like you just ate a 64 oz porterhouse either. Never felt rushed throughout the evening and felt like we were the most important guests in the restaurant. Second time hosting groups but this was largest. Will always return for the experience. Ambience is first class as well!

We went to Tommy Toy's for dinner last night. We all picked the food from the Dine About Town Menu. It's only $35 for 4 courses, but the dessert was not included in this menu. You have to pick it from the regular dessert menu and pay extra for it. However, It's worth trying their dessert selections. We liked the triple chocolate mousse cake and the signature dessert. The ambiance was nice too, actually inside was not as dark as I thought. We'll definately return to this restaurant in the next DAT event because their services and DAT menu were great.

Tommy Toy's is an experience like no other. The dark, elegant dining room evokes the feeling you've walked into a palace. I went here for Chinese New Year and it was a fun filled night. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and special. The food is superb, but definitely not the standard Chinese food take out fare.

My wife and I (44 and 35) went here for New Year's Eve 2007 and it was very nice. I've lived in the city for 15 years and hadn't been here yet. My wife is from Shanghai and was in the mood for Chinese. The only other Chinese restaurants we could find were the ones that basically throw your plates on the table and walk away. Tommy Toy's is old-school culture and presentation in the sense that it is elegant and the waitstaff are well trained. A very small thing that can indicate the professionalism of a restaurant is what they do with your silverware after each course. Do they replace it or do they take it off your plate put it back on your table for you (presumably assuming you mistakenly left it on your plate). At Tommy Toy's they never made a mistake and the owner walked around thanking everyone for coming.

It's an elegant dining experience but expect old-school charm. The food is a B+ rather than the "A" the prices would otherwise indicate.

This is the first time I have ever left a restaurant without leaving ANY tip.
Xmas night, my 92 yo chinese grandmother, my african-american boyfriend, and i went to dinner there. We waited 15 mins w/o a thing on the table, and finally asked for menus. Another 15 minutes, and the waiter asks us, "Have you decided?" While I am in the middle of ordering, he walks away and talks to another waiter. My BF and I ordered the "signature" dinner and my GM had the prix fixe. We wait another 35 mins for first course. The pacing was all wrong -- at one pt, my BF and I are eating the lobster course, my GM is supposed to have sea bass, but they forgot her dish (we had to ask for it several times), and finally just brought it out together with her next course. In addition to that, we wanted to order wine. My BF tried several times to flag someone down for the wine list; finally I stood up and waved my arms. On the wine list, they only have bottles listed, not wines by the glass. We asked a couple of waiters, and were told that they do not do glasses. Then about 2 hrs into the meal, we heard a waiter describing wines by the glass to another table! We asked him, he told us about the wines by the glass, but I was so angry by then that we just stuck to water. Not only that, but during the entire meal, the waiters would re-fill my glass and my GM's, but not my boyfriend's! We had to ask several times to have his water refilled. This kind of service was more akin to an off-night at applebee's, not a special holiday night at a top tier restaurant.
Also, the food was not worth the $$. The seafood bisque was blah (although the presentation is cool), the peking duck was standard, the lobster was good but the noodles and accompanying veggies were standard chinese fare and what the heck, when is lobster NOT good. The squab imperial was tasty, but there is so much good, reasonably priced chinese food to be had in the city and burbs, it doesn't make sense to eat here.
