    What a lovely Birthday celebration we had here for our dear friend! Food was delicious—REAL FRENCH BREAD! Service was upbeat and attentive. We felt like long-time patrons on the first visit. A very special place!

    Entire brunch service was a disaster. Single server had too many tables. Kitchen was backed up.

    We LOVED our experience here. Food was amazing and service was perfect. Attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and wine. Felt like the people working their love what they do. Felt like sitting outside at a friend’s house. Pasta special was so flavorful yet light. Sage butter YUM! Beet salad was perfect with cheese and pistachios. If I lived here I’d be there at least twice a week.

    Enjoyed our after Broadway show dinner at The Purple Tongue Short walk from Tommy. Beautiful and clean ambiance. Food delicious. Wine and beer choice perfect. Friendly servers and owner. They kept the water filled on a hot July day The outside seating was upscale will enjoy it on a less hot day. Inside seating was perfect on a hot day.
