Just got back from lunch at 3 Tomatoes for a colleague's birthday. Service was pretty good. We were seated quickly and our food came within 15 mins. All our dishes were served together so that's always a plus point.
Their menu is just not too interesting. I know for a fact that their panini sandwiches always miss their mark. I've had it once before and hated it and my 2 co-workers had a similar experience today. The bread is too thin and a little weird. Seems like a cold sandwich except for the grill marks.
Today I had the rose cream sauce (marinara with alfredo i think) over a wheat penne (kudos for offering this) and I added mushrooms ($1.50 per addition of extras so I think that's way too expensive). The lunch portion of pasta was huge but it had like 4 mushrooms. The sauce was actually pretty good.
Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. But the sheer lacklustre menu and the fact that the pastas are literally just pastas (no veggies/meats and extras cost a lot) makes me pass on the next visit.
