   We had the best meal we have ever had and we are from Long Island NY and tend to eat out alot but the dinner and the server were extra special .I had the best tuna tartar in these incredibly delicious sesame cones ,the entree I ordered was disappointing after the tuna, my server (sorry I don't remember her name )she was great , noticed that I wasn't thrilled with my dish she insisted on changing it and boy was I happy she did , I ended up with the most amazing salmon dish with a sauce that was to die for. My husband had his favorite Octopus and lamb chops that he loved but he couldn't stop eating my salmon dish. It was that yummy! If you are in Santa Barbara you must run not walk to this amazing delicious restaurant"Toma " you will not be disappointed ...

   Service was attentive but not overbearing. Spanish Octopus appetizer was wonderful. Slightly smoky and spicy. Ravioli was very good with ricotta, kale and sun dried tomato. Lasagna was great with sausage, spinach and a momma must have made it red sauce. Great wine list. Very enjoyable dining experience

   Took my parents here when they came to visit. My mother said she had the 'best meal of her life' and mine was fabulous as well! My mom wants to fly back to SB just to go to this restaurant :)

   Foodie heaven with excellent service and romantic, beachfront ambiance, must try! We sat outside but indoor seating looked inviting too. Timely seating and felt private from other tables. Attentive and friendly yet nonintrusive service. The sesame tuna tartare cones to die for, I'd place two orders next time. Also enjoyed the risotto and calamari. Nice wine selection, would definitely recommend!

   Looked forward to trying Toma but was sorely disappointed. Service was erratic, fish over cooked and drenched in unnecessary sauces. Was disappointed to get our starter with salads especially after a long wait to place our order. On a positive note, the flowers and candle on the white tablecloth was nice.

    We made a last mi the reservation on a trip to Santa Barbara, remembering a nice meal there at the start of the pandemic. The outdoor table offered was warm with heat lamps and there is a lovely attempt to have a tent, flowers and greenery surrounding the sidewalk outdoor area, making it quite lovely. Of course , the street is close and cars do zoom last, but the music from the interior room was also very audible and still contributed to a lovely ambience. The interior looks beautiful, but twice seated outdoors during and post pandemic made us fans. But come here first and foremost for the exquisite food and so not miss the Ahi Cones for appetizer!

    Ravioli too firm. Waiter too rigid. It was my birthday which I listed in Open Table as well as my husband told the hostess. By the 3rd mention to the waiter he made it seem like he was doing a big favor by bringing out a scoop of strawberry mousse with a candle.

    We dined at Toma last night for the first time after many people said to try it. The calamari was very good. I had the short ribs which was also tasty. I didn’t give it 5 stars because for how expensive it was, I would expert higher quality food and dishes. At this price point, the must be exquisite to earn 5 stars, hence, I will not be visiting this restaurant again.

    The tuna cones are the best!! I tried the grilled octopus this time and it was cooked perfectly. The special tagliatelle was just ok. I couldn’t taste the scallops, it looked like they were chopped into pieces. It was a little disappointing to tell you the truth. The service was good. It was a beautiful night and I enjoyed the ambiance and the company!

    This was my third visit to Toma. I wanted to treat my friend who had never been and we both really enjoyed it. Starting with the 50/50 martini with olives stuffed with blue cheese. Both of our entrées were delicious as well as the salads. Our waitperson Rob was kind and courteous. A stellar experience all the way around!

    Seriously, this is an upscale restaurant not a beach drop in. The food, service and attention is top shelf and worth the experience. Meat, pasta, salad or seafood is outstanding and service will exceed your expectations.

    Not what we expected after reading great reviews. Ordered Cioppino and fish of the day, 2 apps. The starters were quite good. The mains were both found lacking. Servers were polite as was the front of house.

    Sharon, the GM, was one of the most helpful GM I have ever dealt with. I had a situation where we needed 3 more of my guest to be seated in addition to out party of 8 coming from Mexico for my sons graduation, and she made it happen. BTW, they were full at the time. This is way business like TOMA are successful, because of SHARON. Great job Sharon.
