    We tried the lamb and the chicken and they were good. The bufalo mozzarella appetiser was also good. We sat on the patio and it was very nice.

    Wonderful experience. Our server was exceptional. He created Bruschetta de la Kyle for an hors d' oeuvre which was created by our wonderful server. La Tomate has long been a wonderful choice for good food, quality service and marvelous atmosphere.

    La Tomate has become my "go to place" for when I want to have an enjoyable evening actually being able to talk to good friends (instead of shouting) over good food and drink. The always respect my request for a quiet table; the service is friendly and professional; the menu is relatively short, full of genuine Italian dishes expertly prepared. All the pastas are house-made and are uniformly delicious. Good wine list as well. with plenty of choices that won't break the bank. La Tomate won't disappoint if this is the kind of experience you're seeking!

    Always a great meal & experience. The food is exceptional especially the pastas. Last night we had the mushroom entree and it was amazing. The atmosphere is very quiet it's a place you can talk. The waiter was also great. Always a fantastic place to go.

    The prix fixe lunch menu is the go-to on a weekday from 11:30am-3pm. $36 for soup or salad and one of the entrees, PLUS a glass of red or white wine. Bravo! The Caesar dressing was to die for, salmon perfect, seasoned very well. Highly recommend coming here for a weekday lunch!

    Dining at La Tomate is always delicious and delightful. They have consistently maintained high quality cuisine for 35 years, while keeping the menu thoughtful, fresh, full of flavor, and up to date with new additions you want to try. The service is friendly and highly professional, without being intrusive. The tables are well spaced, not crammed together as in many places. The restaurant is relaxed and quiet; nobody is screaming to be heard. Dining at La Tomate always feels special while staying in the neighborhood (and without downtown prices). Always reliable and highly recommended.

    Our waiter was a bit clumsy and we had to ask for having bread. Also it was my partner's birthday and yes we got a dessert on the house with a candle but no singing.
