| - Went to Frankie Tomatto's on wkend for a child's bday party. Quality of food has improved a lot! Pleasantly surprised food almost as good as when this buffet first opened!
1st plate: Started off with seafood: roasted salmon, fried calamari, calamari salad & garlic bread. Loved it! Salmon was tender & flaky. Fried calamari was crispy & NOT oily. Cold calamari salad tasted great! Not overpowered by vinaigrette. Garlic bread was nice & crispy.
2nd plate: herb roasted chicken, roasted Corn, roast beef w/ gravy, meat lasagna, roasted peppers, slice of chicken pizza, fried or roasted herb potato medallions & rice. I found the potato medallions a bit salty. The roast beef was a little tough. Otherwise everything else here was perfectly cooked & absolutely delicious! Chicken was tender & flavorful. Corn & peppers had perfect amt of char. Lasagna had good amount of meat & cheese. I added some pepper flakes for some zing & it was tasty & added right amt of heat. Pizza tasted delish with right amt of toppings & wasn't greasy. Rice well seasoned & wasn't mushy but light & fluffy.
3rd plate: After such a heavy plate went for much lighter fare. Got a plain pancake w/ syrup, 1 breakfast sausage & bacon, cantelope, honeydew melon, grapes, & pineapple. This is the best pancake I have tasted in a long time anywhere ever! Chef made them fresh. Light & fluffy & soo good! Sausage & bacon cooked perfectly. Fruit were fresh & sweet. No complaints whatsoever :)
4th plate: spaghetti, beef meatballs, turkey meatballs in cream sauce, vegetarian meatballs, chicken cacciatore grilled veggies & rosti potatoes. Only thing I didn't like was vegan meatballs. They were good for vegetarian meatballs but not to my liking cp to real meatballs! The beef & turkey meatballs were well seasoned & tender. Loved the sauces they were cooked in. Cacciatore tender & flavorful. Spaghetti tiny bit softer than al dente which is the way I like spaghetti! Rosti potatoes perfectly seasoned w/ nice crisp on outside & tender inside.
5th & final plate: capuccino ice cream, bread pudding w/ caramel sauce, a biscuit, lemon cake, chocolate cake & rice crispy square w/ choc chips & marshmallows. Ice cream comes from ice cream maker. Just pull down on the lever & voila... Freshly made ice cream! Bread pudding tasted fantastic! The biscuit & cakes were all fresh & had the right textures.
Overall I was really impressed w/ how fresh all the food was. Almost everything was cooked & seasoned well. Very happy the food wasn't greasy or salty which is what I've experienced in other buffets. Definitely recommend everybody to try Frankie Tomatto. I look forward to going back again!
