    As a single diner I received personal and attentive service. I found the grilled octopus with potatoes to be remarkable and complemented this with a radichio salad that was crisp and wonderful. Finished with coffee and a mixed berry fruit cup. Bar service was also top notch.

    Awesome ambience and service. Great cocktails too. It made for a very special evening. Our waiter and host said the menu is about to get refreshed, which is great to hear. Hope it can expand a bit too, and same for the wine and beer list (skimpy compared to the cocktail options). Loved the place and look fwd to coming back soon.

    I took a good friend to lunch for her birthday. I had only been to La Tomate for dinner and the food has always been outstanding. Our lunch didn't disappoint. We both had the bronzino and shared the apple tart. La Tomate is a lovely neighborhood restaurant and I'll be back again.

    Such an excellent choice for date night dinner. The waiter brought a tasting of two wines so I could decide. She answered all of our meal requests questions. We were able to modify/sub items in the meal with no charge and everything down to the dessert was excellent. 10/10 experience.
