    Wow the overall experience at La Tomate was so memorable. The innovative holiday menu was wonderful. Still the best Cesar salad in town and love the Fresh seafood and healthy pasta options without sacrificing flavor. The hostess/owner Natalina knows most guests by name based on her long time relationship running this successful restaurant since the 1980’s. A remarkable accomplishment.

    La Tomate is one of my favorite DC restaurants. The service is always great - attentive and accommodating. I love dining in the bar area and on the patio. The food is consistently delicious. And they always do their best to meet your individual needs. Continues to be one of my go to places!
