    My meal was almost perfect. The appetizer was bean soup. The entree was roast sea bass. I am a frequent visitor to La Tomate, and this was the best meal I have had in several years.

    Lili was the most gracious server, and the food itself was excellent, especially the branzino, the peppers and the ezme. Artichoke also stood out, and dessert (the one in the baklava family) was the perfect capstone. Ambience is pacific and minimalist; very restful evening. Recommend!

    We were there to celebrate a birthday and were seated in the private boardroom. It was an amazing room with views of the wharf and water. The service was amazing, there was 1 waiter for 8 people and he did a great job. Loved the stuffed squid. The spinach on the side was too salty. The bread is so tender and delicious. It was our first tine there and I’d definitely go back.
