Shortly after giving our server our drink order, he brought out a basket with a variety of fresh-baked breads. To accompany the bread, there was a delicious olive spread. We happily munched on this while reading La Tomate's extensive menu. I ordered a Caprese salad, which came prepared the traditional Italian way with fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil. Topped with a splash of balsamic vinegar, the salad was flavorful and fresh. For my entrée, I chose one of the evening's specials - lobster ravioli with a black-truffle cream sauce. It was excellent! The delicious salad and entrée left no room for dessert, but I did sip on a cappuccino while chatting with my friends.

The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We had two gentlemen serving our table of three. La Tomate had a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere despite the fact that the restaurant was completely full.

The only thing that sort of surprised me about this restaurant was the wine list. It was quite small.
