Tomatoes

Tried a new place at the shore. Tomatoes. Looked pretty encouraging on Resy. Overall it was good, maybe very good?! Service was excellent. Our waitress Chris was top notch. Ambiance was not great for us. We didn't realize this was more bar than restaurant (with live music, a huge bar, and very kid friendly). For us this ended up being a loud environment where we had to yell over the out of control kids that were moved next to us. The food was pretty good, maybe slightly unrefined but tasty. My grilled octopus was mostly very good with just one piece being a little "mushy". My baked duckling came with excellent grilled asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. The duckling itself was more like roasted chicken to me than true duck breast but I still ate all of it. The blueberry pie was very good

The surf and turf roll was amazing! The chicken parm portion was huge, enough for 2 full meals. Salt and pepper calamari was cooked to perfection and the service was great. Hard to get in this place in summer but off season, while it was still busy, we were able to sit right away. Great well rounded restaurant, big sushi menu in addition to steaks, seafood, chicken dishes.... highly recommend a visit if you haven't been here. Fyi, we came by boat as they just opened a sister restaurant across the street with transient slips available.

Margate offers many great places to eat, but this is by far one of my favorites. The staff are great and very attentive. If you are a fan of sushi you have your pick of an extensive menu. But if you're just looking for some great Italian food, you will not be disappointed. I had an amazing pork tenderloin that was amazingly tender and flavorful. So much to explore and enjoy from this menu.

The sushi boat and specialty rolls were delicious with fresh, high-quality fish and great flavors. The crème brûlée was outstanding, and my wife really enjoyed her martini. We’ve never had a bad meal here. We usually sit at the bar, but this time we had a table during the dinner rush. They were very busy, and I wish there had been a bit more attention to drinks. I would have had another. Still, the food and atmosphere were excellent as always. Can’t wait for our next meal!!

A Margate fixture, Tomatoes ha served consistently delicious dishes for a demanding clientele over several decades. The waitstaff is professional and attentive. The sushi is fresh and well portioned. Entrees of note include crispy duck, sea bass, and pork chops. The assorted appetizers are fantastic. Recommend the short rib and octopus offerings.
