Tombo is a little gem in a very small retail center. The food is excellent, and on Mondays, there is great entertainment along with a Burger and Beer deal.

Date night for me and my husband. We had the grouper and filet and split both. It was all cooked to perfection! We also started with the cheese plate and beet salad for appetizers. Both delicious. We also had a few cocktails. No complaints about anything. Service was great. We will have to go back when they have live music.

Was the worst $150 meal I ever had. Hope their normal menu is better than the Valentine massacre!
