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!
