Tocqueville’s beautiful decor and two-story dining room provide a breathtaking first impression. Breathtaking needn’t be nerve wracking, though. Provided you know some basic information about the restaurant before you enjoy your meal, it can be exhilarating. For that reason, following is some pertinent information to help you navigate the waters at Tocqueville.
Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling the restaurant directly or on OpenTable.com.
Seating is generous with tables that are 36 inches square -- generously spaced -- and chairs that are about 18 inches in diameter at their widest point. Chairs are also comfortable, as they are upholstered at the bottom with a woven, velour-type fabric. Also available are corner banquettes and armless sofas that are strategically placed throughout the dining room. If you’re not in the mood for the more formal dining room, the less formal bar area is available for dining.
The atmosphere is elegant without pretense. Tables are generously spaced and every attention to detail is made. For example, wine decanters are different, yet just as elegant, at every table. The two-story dining room could be intimidating, but instead is inspiring and lets diners have an intimate feel in a much larger space.
The restrooms at Tocqueville are in the restaurant and on the same level as the dining room. |
