    Toma is a gem in a restaurant heavy tourist town. As a local, I completely enjoy its location, incredible food and how warm and friendly it is. It’s a great place to go even on your own to sit at the beautiful bar and enjoy a great meal with like- minded diners. You will always feel welcome.

    The service and food were excellent. The atmosphere was very nice. The only issue was a very loud woman at the bar who actually filled the entire room with her voice. There was nothing to be done about it, but it did distract.

    The food and service were excellent. Very small ding room with tables very close together. The $4.00 charge for bread seems out of place, considering the cost of food.

    Everything was delicious! We had the beet salad, rigatoni to share, I got the fish special which was amazing and my husband had the lamb which he said was one of the best preparations he had ever had of lamb. We finished with the phyllo crisp, fruity and light. The wine list is excellent as well. Would definitely recommend!

    Everything was great except Diane. We had to ask others to locate her on 2 occasions. We didn’t see her in dining area. Serve was slow

    Toma was the best place we’ve eaten over our month traveling in California. We had the wedge salad. Absolute delicious and perfectly dressed. For our main, we shared the Rigatoni ala Emilio. Plenty of food for my husband and I and again so delicious!!
