    This is a lovely neighbourhood restaurant in a secluded location. We have been here for a number of great meals. It’s part of a very exclusive retirement property and has been opened up to the public in order to keep it utilised. The service is exceptional, often there are at least 1 member of staff for every 2 customers. The waitresses are lovely and keen to make sure you enjoy Food ranges from exceptional (fish and chips, most deserts, vegetarian) to a bit average (fatty lamb chops, bread and olives). It really depends on what you choose. I recommend everyone gives this place a try, so lovely to avoid chain restaurants and have something a bit different.

    Really delicious meal, excellent menu with vegetarian, meat & fish choices. Wonderful flavours, great presentation of dishes/plates … everything looks and tastes lovely. Very personable service. Great value. Tokova is consistently good, and it’s obvious it’s run with passion and care. Highly recommend.
