    Grab a table on the porch and enjoy a nice Italian inspired meal or pizza in the center of this tiny village. Inside is cozy and better for a chilly night. I can't say it was spectacular but it was very enjoyable and the location & atmosphere make it worth another visit.

    This is has been a favorite of mine for several years and it still remains top-notch under the new ownership. Staff was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable in the cuisine and wine pairings. Food was absolutely delicious-my friend even stopped mid sentence to comment on her first bite! The calamari a la plancha was super tender. The spinach salad with pears - heavenly. Our main courses were the shrimp with linguine and the fish of the day which was fluke served over broccoli rappe with a puttanesca type tapenade (minus the anchovies). They were both excellent. I come from a family that is no stranger to good cuisine and was glad that this place didn't change under the new management. Thanks for another wonderful dining experience!

    Well. We just lost our favorite restaurant.... We LOVED Sweet Tomatoes and have been frequent visitors over the last few years. But no more. Jimmy is gone. The attentive waitstaff is gone. The service is gone. The delicious food is gone. We have tried Sweet Tomatoes twice since the new regime....and will not be going back. Don't waste your time or money either. You will be disappointed. Further, a dead restaurant on Shelter Island on a Friday night....hmmmmmm....maybe the word has already gotten around.

    The special " Cioppino" came incomplete. Two ingredients were missing and no mention to the customers about the missing items. I will not mention the excuse from the chef. A party of 25 people with 6 children in a separate table took over the restaurant from a noise point of view. The children were out of control with no supervision from the adults. When we complaint to the waitress....she just shrugged her shoulders. The noise totally ruined our evening.

    Three nights on Shelter Island and we stumbled upon Sweet Tomato's the first night. Despite the fact that we had planned to dine-around.... we ate there every night! Food is creative and great!! Service is friendly and comfortable but outstanding!! Best spot on the island!

    We were greatly disappointed from the last time we visited. Apparently the former owner and manager left and the operation, mainly the food, is drastically different (worse). We would not go back.

    The service was great but there seems to be a downgrade on food quality unlike in the past. Pizza was dry. Salad was a little overdressed, and tasted more like oregano. The popular short ribs was a miss. It was not tender at all. And it was a little on the bland side. I was disappointed how it's changed. Service was excellent but if the restaurant completely loses its special feel, personal touch, and quality food, we'd probably rather somewhere else.

    If seated along the perimeter walls, the architectural molding makes it impossible to get comfortable because the molding sticks in your back
