REALLY didn't enjoy my meal here last night.
I walked into the restaurant and saw all the nice candle lit tables with fresh white tablecloths and great atmosphere. THEN the waiter told me to decend down the stairs to where Red Tomato really was. I was then met with red booths, tables and cheaper tealights - Bummer.
I have a thing about restaurants who present themselves well with nice table settings - usually means you get a better meal and they take pride with their appearance.
Anyways .. Red Tomato also had Tv Screens in different areas. I hate restaurants that have that. You should be there for dinner with your company to engage in conversation - not watch the Leafs Hockey game score.
I had the 2 course meal with a drink for $26.99
I had the 6-hour oven roasted beef brisket with grilled mushroom risotto.
GROSS..
The sauce that drenched my meat was WAYYYYYY TOO SALTY. Omg it just took away from the whole meal. Then I digged into my risotto and it was undercooked.
The only thing I enjoyed was my glass of wine.
The server just basically came to take our order and never checked back in with us and didn't have much of a personality for that matter.
I wouldn't come back here - There are other restaurants that look promising and a few which I've been to. Most of the restaurants on that stretch have prix-fixe menu.
