The food was great! I had the S&P Calamari and the roasted duck. Both were cooked perfectly. Very busy spot. We will be back next time! read more

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. read more

This was my first time ever going to Tomatoes. My party made a reservation online so we were sat right away. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and had a lot of seating. Service was great- everyone was super friendly. Everyone at my table ordered drinks, and we all loved them. We had the calamari, which was okay. I ordered two sushi rolls. They were decent, but their prices are a little higher than expected. The roll on the right was $20 alone. They do have a lot out back for outdoor drinks/appetizers it looks like, which I would definitely do next time. read more

Foods always top notch and inventive. Sat outside, great vibe, cocktails are delish. Love the food trucks for a casual fun experience

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. read more

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! read more

This place is good, but way overpriced for what you get. My boyfriend and I never had their sushi before, but decided to try it and ended up getting the sushi platter where you pick three different ones for a cheaper price (which is still.... overpriced). Honestly, it was AMAZING sushi, but my issue was the service. Obviously, this place is in Margate... so there's more of a certain crowd there, but we felt like it was low key racist (I'm Filipino and my boyfriend is Dominican). Everyone (from staff to guests) was straight up staring at us and they sat us... all the way in the back, back, back of the restaurant. Waitress checked on us once but really catered to this loud, obnoxious group of 6+ people sitting a little ways away from us. Didn't finish the drink and she never asked us about our food. Not cool. You think that during 2021 things would get better, but I guess not. read more

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. read more

Very cute outdoor food court made up of a couple food trucks and a handmade pizza stand. Tons of picnic tables and Adirondack chairs seating. Every table has a number and you can order by scanning the QR code from the sign at the table, or walk up to the food truck where somebody will take your order. You pay first and somebody will bring your food to the table. It's mostly self-service (get your own cutlery, etc). Also, there's a trailer with lavatories towards the rear of the garden, which is a nice bonus for outdoor dining these days! Excellent pizza and pretty amazing tator tots (perfectly crispy outside and soft inside that stayed pretty hot). read more

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 read more

I have the misfortune of having a close friend who loves this place so am forced to eat here more than I would like. It can summarized in one sentence. Decent food but terrible service and not worth the very high prices. On a recent evening dining in, we had to wait forever for a waitress, the drink we ordered and something to be done about the wobbly table, which was never addressed for the duration of the meal. For takeout, I did not leave a tip when placing an online order, but was pressured to do so when I picked it up. It left a bad taste in my mouth. As noted by other reviewers, the sushi is quite good but incredibly pricey. The specialty rolls are all ~$20 for 8 small pieces, which is higher than the best sushi places in Philadelphia. With any luck, I won't have to come back anytime soon. read more

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. read more

Tomatoes is a local favorite in south jersey. Aside from their amazing espresso martinis, their octopus tacos are . I love these tacos because they're unique. The jicama taco shell offers a slight crunch but differs in taste and texture from a traditional taco shell. The cilantro adds a fresh flavor and pairs perfectly with the spicy mayo. Well seasoned/cooked octopus can be hard to find. Tomatoes does it effortlessly. Definitely recommend. read more

This is one of my families favorite summertime spots. He's been going here for the past 10 years and are obsessed. The octopus appetizer and duck are two of my personal favorites and the Karen roll is also phenomenal. I personally would recommend getting any of the sushi but not all entrées are created equal imo so find your favorite and stick to it lol. Also a little bit pricey but I think the quality almost matches up. If you like espresso martinis these are the best I've ever had! read more

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. read more

1st off- Had the best waitress EVER, Malia! 2nd- the food, menu, atmosphere, drinks, etc etc.. were delicious!!! The perfect place to go to after a long day at the beach or to enjoy a celebration like we did. We have been meaning to try out this place for a while and are now kicking ourselves wishing we had tried it sooner. Will absolutely be heading back this summer to try out their sushi! :) read more

Tomatoes is always the place to be. Where else can you get amazingly fresh sushi, a Cobb salad and steak dinner? No where. Their salads are huge & definitely more of an entree style salad. The cocktails are amazing too. You can't go wrong with any of their specialty martinis. read more

One of the best at the Jersey shore. The customer service and food is excellent. Highly recommend to anybody when coming to the Jersey shore. read more

I came on the weekend with reservations and the place was busy! The interior is quite dark but the energy is lively. I had a lychee martini and my partner and I split the Sarah Jane roll to start, both of which were good but nothing too exciting. It took a long time for the food to come out, and we were understanding given how busy it was, but it had us wondering if it was always this way. My partner ordered the sashimi platter which was as expected, but the side of "sticky rice" as it was called on the menu ended up being a small bowl of sushi rice--absolutely overpriced at $6. I ordered the crispy duck which was quite delicious and generously portioned. The duck came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. When it came time leave, someone who wasn't our waitress took the remainder of my dish to box up to go and I was so disappointed when I got home to see that they hadn't boxed up any of my sides, which I had purposefully set aside for later. Our waitress was kind and attentive, but overall, the dining experience was quite average. read more

Fun place, great drinks, good for bar food and atmosphere but main dishes are mediocre. Everything was "fine", but should be at a higher level for the price. read more

We went there early so parking was available behind restaurant. Place was already pretty packed. Reservations highly recommended when in season. We had the Pork chop with pumpkin gnocchi and they were pretty good. As for their dessert we had some chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream that was just okay. Our server was nice and attentive even when the place is booming. read more

We Went here for dinner on a Thursday night. It seemed a little busy & we did wait a bit for the server to attend to our table or acknowledge that we were even there (about 15-20 min) but once she was there, she was pretty attentive. The ambience is friendly & I feel like you could probably dress up or dress down for the night. I ordered the salmon Poke bowl and was disappointed only in that there was no rice. Now to be fair, it didn't say there was rice but generally a poke bowl is served on a bed of rice unless specifically stated otherwise- like zoodles or something. This was served on a bed of lettuce. The dressing was good & the salmon fresh but it would have been out of this world with rice. My mans got the Chilean sea bass. Banging. read more

At tomato's the food is very delicious and scrumptious. We were seated immediately. Everything came out fast. Food was very good. Except I ordered the Burata and it came with cantaloupe. Cantaloupe and balsamic vinegar don't mix well. Not my favorite. Service is awesome and quick. Bathrooms are pristine. Overall great restaurant and we will be coming back. read more

I feel bad to write a negative review but it has to be said. The food was not very good and extremely overpriced. It was a little bit of a wait to get a table, so that wasn't bad, but I would never come back here. We just didn't have a great experience. Pulled pork sliders, lobster rolls, and fried chicken were not bad. Not the worst food ever. But just go somewhere else. However the ambiance is nice. read more

Great atmosphere but the portions were nothing to rave about and pricing was way out of line. Service was fantastic. Not horrible but overrated. read more

A little pricey but reliably good with an eclectic menu. Feels a little more high end than other restaurants in the area which is nice. Service is great, too. read more

Love this restaurant. Sushi is delicious. The staff is very nice. Drinks are made perfect ever time.

The negative about this restaurant was that appetizer ordered from the sushi bar took almost 2 hours to be brought to the table. This caused all of our dinners to be held by the restaurant for 2 hours! When we asked to see the manager, she had Alex come out. Alex stated that she was "technically" the owner, not the manager! Seems better right? Wrong! The only thing she said was "I'm sorry." She offered to do nothing at all. She just stood there and repeated - I'm sorry! Didn't suggest anything to make things right! We even mentioned that it was our first time all the restaurant and still she couldn't figure out what to do! Amazingly disappointing! Suggest you think twice about going to this restaurant, because despite the excellent food, a manager/owner that doesn't know how to get out of a paper bag, ruins the entire experience. Also, if you have any issue whatsoever - don't count on anything other than an "I'm sorry!" We won't be returning, nor recommending this restaurant to friends/family. read more

First time I've been disappointed at this restaurant. Don't order Chilean see bass. Served in a very sweet broth with maybe 6 green beans and a couple sliced carrots. See bass not even more than an inch and 1/2 around and mushy. Would never order that again. The price was ridiculous for the amount of fish. read more

WELP. A well known place with seemingly good food but horrible service? That doesn't quite make sense... I have lived about 10 minutes from this establishment my whole life and always knew about Tomatoes. But honestly, with hesitation to going here, this doesn't surprise me anymore after my families time spent... the food wasn't bad! But if you want horrible service, then this is your spot. Thank god for the bus boys, they were the only ones that asked if we needed anything! read more

I have been here many times over the years. I went last evening and it was terrible. I don't know what's going on but doubt I'll be back. Ceviche was terrible Sea bass usually my favorite didn't seem fresh Brussel sprouts good Mezcal drink good If it's about Covid and volume , it would be better to close and reopen, than to destroy your reputation read more

I found this place based on a combination of a friend's recommendation and yelp reviews. I have been here twice. Once during restaurant week. With the name, I was expecting an upscale pizzeria. I was surprised when I entered because the decor is upscale and trendy. The restaurant is well kept and looks great. The menu certainly does not fit the name of the restaurant. They serve sushi and Italian food. The service was great. My waitress had a great sense of humor. and was attentive. I ordered sushi as an appetizer. It was great and I would order it again. I also tried the prosciutto wrapped dates and hoisin chicken. Both had great flavors. Overall, a great experience both times. I will come back. read more

We've been here many times Pre-COVID and these guys are doing their best. We love their food, but haven't been out in a while so we thought we'd come to the garden and spend some money and show some support. We got 2 bloody Mary's for $24 and gave a $5 tip. They were good. I also got 2 orders of tacos which were good and truffle fries for $36, but the women in the truck was a snot and really hard to like. She rubbed me the wrong way when I first approached her and asked her about the tacos. I asked if they could be one of each, shrimp, meat, fish and she snottley replied no, then proceeded to talk down to me to explain what a pain it was to do it that way......Ummm, aren't we the customer??? I was only asking by the way, not insisting. THEN, She delivered them to the table with our truffle fries and I asked her if I can have some catchup and her reply was, " if you want". Ummm, again, why would I ask for ketchup if I didn't want it???? Well,,,,,we tried to support people, but this women certainly didn't appreciate our efforts. They would be best to get rid of her. She's hurting business for the other great staff members who are very friendly. I won't be back unless she is gone. Note to Tomatoes owners: it was the women working the food truck at 5:00pm on Aug 19. She had black shorts. You should talk to her. She is not helping your business or other staff members. read more
