    We had a small business group dining during the holidays. Service was sporadic and not expert. But the food was excellent. Salads, flatbreads, ravioli, cappuccino all nicely done. Not sorry we went there.

    We ate on the early side so it was quiet. Friendly not stuffy. The place filled up by the time we finished our meal. We took our time and never felt rushed. Our waiter was attentive but not annoyingly so. We ordered a nice bottle of Chianti excellent price. Appetizer was a marvelous tartare. Dinner we had fresh pasta perfectly prepared and proportioned. Highly recommend.

    First time I have been to La Tomate in several years. It was a delight to revisit such a comfortable place. The service was fine. The food was delicious. Beets, Caesar Salad, Ragu Bolognese. It felt comfortable, like going home.
