This was a nice quiet atmosphere for a lunch with friends. I’ve had many pleasant experiences at La Tomate and this was no exception. One suggestion is to give diners more time to review the menu before ordering. Overall, though, a very nice meal and surroundings. I need to remember that this oasis is right in my neighborhood and I should go more often.

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.
