Tomatoes Margate City Reviews
Busy restaurant, high energy staff.
Note: somewhat pricey although portions were very adequate. Service was a bit disappointing, meals served were auctioned off.
Great experience! First tine here, you definitely need
Great experience! First tine here, you definitely need reservations. The me u is extensive. Our waitress Amber was knowledgeable. Place is large and when you enter you see the sushi being made fresh. We opened with the grilled octopus it was incredible. Highly recommend if in Margate
Been to Tomatoes twice this summer so far and each time has
Been to Tomatoes twice this summer so far and each time has been positive. Besides charging for each soda refill which is a bit cheap. Especially when you are ordering alcohol too. The food and the ambiance have been good. Would recommend the place for the food.
Average sushi for an above average price.
The sushi was fresh and flavorful but pieces were small. I ordered for takeout, but this is definitely a place to dine in given the ambiance and large seating area. Will have to try them again as a sit down restaurant and order more than just the sushi to give them a fair chance.
3.5. Above average chicken parm, definitely filling I
3.5. Above average chicken parm, definitely filling I finished the plate and licked it clean (licking lips emoji) good portions compared to other entrees at this restaurant. A little dry could've used a little more sauce on the spaghetti but besides that happy with what I ordered, chicken was good no complaints about that. The ambiance was perfect, lovely restaurant.
Welcome to Margate City!! I would STRONGLY suggest
Welcome to Margate City!! I would STRONGLY suggest considering when you book your reservations. Their lot is not prepared for a busy time and street parking is a challenge (why did I wear these heels); just saying! We walked in and didn't realize that the, "check in" area is not where one might think. Go to your right, around bar and OH this is where you check in! The food and drinks are a bit on the pricey side; is it pay day?!? Food was tasty; drinks a bit watered down. Our waitress-Veronica was easy to talk to; accommodating. It's a nicely presented restaurant. And NO do not wear your flip flops and beach cover up. Although if you do, I'm sure you may draw more attention than you did on the beach! Lastly, don't let the name, "Tomatoes" fool you. You better be prepared to pay more than just a bag of tomatoes!!
Best sushi ever the Gyoza and avocado roll and salmon sushi
Best sushi ever the Gyoza and avocado roll and salmon sushi are so good. waiter was very nice. They good art on the wall. And just to add the banana foster bread pudding so so good that I wud have 2 times.
Server Heidi was extremely cold and rude to us because we
Server Heidi was extremely cold and rude to us because we were younger, simply didn't see a need to give us the same service. Mumbled every time she talked, rude when asked about drinks and didn't give much other than slamming the check down after our second drink when no dessert was ordered. Worst part was her talking about us with another short blonde server and pointing in the server station at us which was in our eye view. Food/sushi was subpar.
If I could give Tomatoes six stars, I absolutely would.
This restaurant is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is unbeatable with fantastic live music, such as the lovely man who plays the saxophone that sets the perfect tone. The general manager, (I believe her name is Kristen) runs the place flawlessly, making sure to accommodate my grandson's allergies and provided us a worry - free experience. She, along wit the lovely hostesses as both the front door and the host stand create a warm and welcoming vibe. The hostesses and waitresses are friendly, attentive and kind. From service to ambiance, Tomatoes delivers a top-tier dining experience every time. I always get the tuna poke bowl, but you can never go wrong with any dish you order! The salt & pepper calamari is phenomenal as well. It hits the mark every time!
We came here for Mothers Day dinner after hearing great
We came here for Mothers Day dinner after hearing great things about this restaurant. We were very excited to come here for the first time but I am afraid we probably wouldn't return. I'm not sure if the problem was that it was a holiday and maybe the restaurant was just very busy and things weren't the way they would usually would be, or if we just weren't a fan. The ambiance was nice, drinks were decent and we liked our appetizers. Our meals took forever to get we thought maybe the server had forgotten about us. Out of all 5 guests no one was a fan of their entrees.... They were lacking flavor all around, and my pasta was even cold. We were very disappointed because we had such high expectations for this place. After spending over 400 dollars plus a tip we expected so much more.
We love coming to Tomatoes! Whenever my mom is in town,
We love coming to Tomatoes! Whenever my mom is in town, this is where the wants to eat. The food is always delicious and fresh. We live the wine and martini selections. The service is always in point. And it's always so much fun! Their key lime pie is my favorite of all time! We order it every single time!
Wow! Spectacular!
Wow! This is the kind of place that serves only spectacular dishes. We were fortunate to get a reservation here…even though the place is enormous…it was packed! So, reservations are definitely required! Back to the spectacular food. Check the menu on line to see offerings, so that you are prepared for an extensive, well thought out kind of “something for everyone “ type of menu. We decided on an assortment of starters to share, all terrific! Our server, Ryan, was friendly, professional and so knowledgeable about the dishes and specials. You can even ask him how they are prepared…he knows! All the seafood dishes were served hot and so fresh. There’s such a variety of pasta, meats, seafood, sushi, vegetables…it seems like an unlimited menu. Oh, then there’s the drinks! Refreshing, delicious and large! On to desserts! We shared Key Lime Pie, Blueberry Pie, coconut cake, Banana cake, all superb! My advice? Try everything, and eat here as much as possible.
Let me preface this review by saying I have had about 5
Let me preface this review by saying I have had about 5 great meals here in the past (all a year or more ago). This was a really bad experience and meal. Maybe an aberration but figured I'd just tell it like it is. When we went to park in the valet lot at about 5:55 on a Wednesday evening, there were a couple cones. I've always parked there before and figured the cones were there to keep out non-restaurant traffic. I asked the valet if they were full or something, and he rudely said "yeah what do you think the cones mean?!" Bad start... Got to our table and we were seated at a very small 2-top wedged so tightly between two other tables that I could barely get in and the waiter etc never came near the side of our table, rather he screamed the specials from behind my wife's seat... The place is so loud I literally couldn't hear almost anything my wife was saying - and I don't have hearing issues. The food: my lettuce wedge was not crunchy but rather had wilted iceberg lettuce that was drenched in a soup of blue cheese dressing and featured pancetta that was literally the saltiest food I've ever placed in my mouth. Not at all like any cured meat I've ever tasted before. My wife's Caesar salad was underdressed and had very little flavor. My chilled seafood entree (market price $62) featured 3 shrimp cocktail which were a nice size and very crunchy and tasty! The lump crabmeat was also nice other than many shells (which happens sometimes). The lobster tail - man I wanted to love it but it was literally without ANY taste. Like water...not even a hint of seafood flavor or sweetness or anything. My wife loves lobster and totally agreed and we left it on our plate not even wanting to bring it home for leftovers. It MUST have been frozen or something. It was just indescribable and like no other lobster tail I've experienced in my 50 years of life. My wife got the seared tuna. The vegetable were delicious but the tuna was without any sauce and so peppery/spicy she could not enjoy it. She left most of it. We also ordered 2 sides. Coconut rice had no flavor and tasted like starchy water and somehow was greasy but had no flavor or salt. The truffle Mac and cheese seemed ok if it had any salt - but it didn't and there were no salt and pepper shakers on the table. We left most of our meal and opted to not bring anything home. Honestly it was a really disappointing meal and I don't know what to make of it. We were really looking forward to a great meal but that wasn't in the cards tonight. We left really disappointed to say the least...seems quality is way down.
Foods always top notch and inventive.
Sat outside, great vibe, cocktails are delish. Love the food trucks for a casual fun experience
Absolutely love their outdoor space called "The Lot".
Always has delicious food truck and bar truck options! And sometimes even has live music and local events!
I have been going to Tomatoes since it opened.
I lived in New Jersey full time but moved to Florida and return for 4 months in the summer every year for years. I went last night with a girlfriend and two teenagers specifically for sushi. It was very disappointing. Quality has gone way down. Looks like they are not using quality ingredients and trying to make the biggest profit by skimping. The speciality rolls in any restaurant are always huge. We ordered the Karen and the Atlantic City rolls, then a bunch of sashimi and none specialty roll. The speciality rolls were as small as a spicy tuna roll with the shrimp sliced so thin on the top. Half the size it normally is there or anywhere. I thought it was a joke at almost $20.00 per roll. I have ordered both many many times and it's never looked like that. The burrata was served with tomatoes that tasted like they came from a can. They poured crappy tomato sauce over the top of canned tomatoes and topped with basil. Gross. Asked for salt 4 times as none were on any tables. I was told the ownership changed to his son. I'm beyond disappointed. Maybe the new owners should know the old saying "liquor makes money and good food makes friend". You lost several friends last night.
We love coming to tomato's for the great food and vibes.
They have an extensive martini menu and a big bar in the center of the restaurant to enjoy it at. The sushi is fresh and the Kani salad is the best I've ever had with lump crab meat and shaved cucumber. Also, don't skip the ahi tuna on crispy rice appetizer.
This place is still, "Meh.
" Good enough, 3 stars. After 9 pm they crank up the bad DJ Music which makes conversing with your dining partners impossible. Turned us off. Service was good, but we couldn't hear the server tell us about the specials. There was too much nodding at the table because the music was so obnoxiously loud. The Octopus was excellent as an appetizer. The chopped salad was also very good. The Filet Mignon was pretty good, ordered it Medium Rare, came out a bit over which changed the texture of the Filet to the dry side. Crab Cakes were small and overcooked and dried out and would not order this again. The sushi was pretty good. The cocktails were pretty good. All in all a very Meh experience.
DO NOT GO TO THE LOT
DO NOT GO TO THE LOT! My experience at The Lot was incredibly disappointing. Upon entering the establishment, we were met with a rude bartender who immediately accused us of having fake IDs simply because we hailed from different states. Despite proving the authenticity of my identification, I was denied service, and it is hard to shake off the feeling that this discrimination may have stemmed from wearing a Jewish star. The interaction with the bartender left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome, only escalating when I requested assistance from the manager. Unfortunately, even the manager's intervention fell short of being helpful, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth about the lack of professionalism and inclusivity at The Lot. It is disheartening to encounter such inappropriate and rude behavior in a public setting, and I would caution others considering a visit to the Lot. P.S. The bartender was a young man with light hair wearing a hat.

The entire menu is great, however if you want something
The entire menu is great, however if you want something amazing the Thai curry creme mussels are amazing !!!! The ambiance is trendy however it can get pretty busy the later you go especially in the peak summer season but overall it's a solid restaurant choice.

When dining at Tomatoes we always opt for seats at the bar, where our favorite bartender, Stephanie, shakes up cocktails and provides amazing service. The chefs at Tomatoes serve up some of the best sushi in South Jersey. Each roll is a delicious work of art and made with the freshest ingredients. From classic favorites like a Rainbow or Spicy Tuna Roll to inventive creations and custom rolls named after the owner's family members, there's something to delight every palate (&we've tried nearly every roll and have yet to be disappointed). Lastly, if you have a sweet tooth like we do, you absolutely cannot miss out on the homemade desserts. Trust me when I say they're worth saving room for
unfortunate experience
This restaurant has been a family favorite since it opened as we are locals. I am saddened to write this review. I tried to purchase a gift card on line for a beloved teacher. They use a third party platform and for whatever reason, it never went to the recipient, although we tried multiple times. Because it was very expensive, I called Tomatoes and to her credit, the manager tried herself without success. She asked me to call back the next day at a designated time and we would resolve. I did exactly as advised and no one picked up. Finally, after several attempts another person answered and told me they were all too busy to talk to me. That was unfortunate, since this was a fairly expensive order. I regret that the manager called back after a while and instead of trying to solve this in one minute (I would have simply asked them to send a hard copy to the recipient) became defensive. Finally, in exasperation I told her to simply cancel the order-I hope they follow through. It is always frustrating when something can be solved so easily if people just take a moment to do so instead of defensiveness and pushing off. This is a nice place, perhaps they were having a very bad day-but they have lost our family now after years of patronage.
Tomatoes is an awesome restaurant located bay front in
Tomatoes is an awesome restaurant located bay front in Margate City, NJ. They have a parking lot behind the restaurant & it was easy to find a spot during the holidays, but this place gets super busy in the summer. Their menu is very eclectic with options ranging from American classics to healthy salads & a full sushi menu as well! Ambiance is fun & energetic with live music & a great bar area that's separate from the main dining room. I had the Ginger Cosmo & the Lycheetini to start off the evening. Both were fabulous, but the Lycheetini is on the sweeter side. The Alex roll was very fresh and flavorful. The Chop Chop was one of my favorite salads recently because their Russian dressing is made in house and super tasty. The star of the evening was the Euro Chicken. The skin was perfectly crispy & the meat was oh so tender. They use Mary's Organic chicken which is another plus & it paired so wonderfully with the truffle mac n cheese & broccolini. I can't wait to go back! Service was stellar too!
Excellent all around, food, service & atmosphere.
Not too loud despite a full room. Round tables perfect for a party of six. Creative menu with options for everyone including sushi and pizza as well as full on entrees. The bar area for a couple just looking to share a meal is an active and happening spot too. It's a tried and true treasure.
Sat at the bar- Sushi, cocktails and dessert were all so
Sat at the bar- Sushi, cocktails and dessert were all so good!!! Great service and overall fun atmosphere.
This restaurant is our go-to in the area.
Nothing too fancy that makes it a "special" event type of place, but one you can go to for a casual lunch, or a really nice dinner. We went back for NYE this year and wife got a delicious steak with a brown sauce and mushrooms, cooked perfectly medium. I had a couple special sushi rolls and the lobster bisque. Everything was delightful, and the place was decorated very tastefully for NYE. This is why it's been our go-to. The drinks we had were excellent as well. Both at the table and at the bar.
Great food and sunsets!
Energetic atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. This was the perfect way to start our beach vacation
Delicious as always
Excellent food as always and excellent service. They have the best martinis around too! Everything from the apps to dessert was amazing!
Not worth it at all
Waitress treated us with a terrible attitude because we are on the younger side of the typical age. We’re treated like a poor customer base and the bathrooms are like a college bar. Would never go back and certainly not pay 35 dollars a dish. Should not be a restaraunt I’m margate. Trash.
Fine Food and Service. Noise Terrible.
Friday night and the season hasn't begun. Free parking on lot but lot was closed and already full when we arrived for a 7:30 reservation. Place was packed upon arrival. Promptly seated. Server was a delight and the food was fine. The only drawback was the noise level. The crowd generates a lot of noise and the DJ was really blasting it out. To converse with my tablemate, who was sitting next to me at a fourtop, not across the table, we both had to lean into the conversation in order to hear. Even the server complained about the noise level. I think the place is for young people not a senior citizen.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Tomatoes Margate City at 6 PM the same day.
