The event I attended was an anniversary celebration that you needed to purchase a ticket for. The fact that you could arrive between 3-9 p.m. stay as long as you wanted sipping on your wine or cocktail made it very special. The food was good and plentiful, the wine selection was outstanding. if they have another event like this I will definitely attend.

The brunch buffet was definitely worth the price. I typically don’t like buffets but there were plenty of options and the food was consistently replenished. The baklava pancakes, the brussel sprouts and the seafood options were my favorite.

Tonari is a great spot for innovative flavors served via the best comfort foods: pizza and ramen. Make a reservation for days with events at nearby Capitol One Arena because this is a popular spot for both food and drinks. Check out the cute crochet foods for sale on the bookcase next to the bar as a keepsake from an amazing meal experience.
