Walk into TORC and you might notice the music. It's rock & roll, blues, or soul, and it's undeniably on. You might notice the energy — it's high. And you'll definitely notice our bar. It's busy serving well-made cocktails and pouring rare wines we're proud to say you probably won't find anywhere else by the glass. There are no white tablecloths. No dabbing the corners of your mouth. No pomp, but lots of circumstance. And perhaps the only reason you noticed the aforementioned is because you haven't tasted our food. That's when the music fades into the background. Join us.

    Sat in front room next to fireplace. We had the room to ourselves. The staff were attentive but not on top of us. The food was delicious (got short rib and carbonara), portion size was moderate, but food quality was great and did not feel hungry afterwards. Had nice chat with manager Susan. Would recommend this as a quieter alternative to EDK. Will come back again.
