We come to DC once a year, and our visit isn't complete without a dinner at La Tomate. Excellent service, wonderful food, and a good wine list. Lamb chops were delicious, bronzino special was outstanding, squash ravioli was great, and the beet carpaccio can't be better. We had an excellent Gavi di Gavi that was also a special listing. Looking forward to next year.

After having a wonderful dinner supported with great service there last week, I went back this week to try the Happy Hour deal on $1 oysters. The oysters were fresh and excellent, and the service was again outstanding. My friend is ready to go back next week :-)

We ate outside which is why I said the noise level was quiet. I suspect that inside is not so quiet. The food was very good overall and the service was attentive.

We had the most amazing time at the Mad Hatter Tea Party High Tea! From the delicious food and wonderful tea to the beautiful experience, everything was absolutely perfect. Our server, Etseg, truly made the experience extra special. Her warm smile, kindness, and incredible attention to detail were above and beyond. She made us feel so welcomed and cared for throughout the entire experience. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, kind, and attentive. The food was excellent, the tea was wonderful, and the whole afternoon was simply magical. I would highly recommend the Mad Hatter Tea Party to anyone looking for a fun, unique, and memorable afternoon experience. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back!

Todd, Ellen & their team continue to roll out the classics: risotto fritters, artichokes, as well as sharing new, local, organic delights! If you were a fan of the original spot on CT near the WH, you'll find the ambience here WAY more easy-going & approachable. Easy location. This continues to be my FAV restaurant in DC.
