    Unfortunately we had a bad experience by ordering Pasta di Mare. Information in the menu clearly stated this as a linguini pasta. To my total surprise, when the plate was served it had a sort of lamen instead of a linguini. For an Italian restaurant, this is the type of thing completely unexpected and disrespectful. A plate that costs 39 dollars could never have such a gross mistake like this. I don't recommend the experience.

    We ate at Toma before, so we expected an exceptional dining experience. We were early for our reservations, but they still seated us. We ordered the Tuna Cones and they were surprisingly bland and flavorless. Fortunately the main courses (Rigatoni Ala Emilio's and the Marinated New Zealand Lamb Chops) met expectations. We ordered the Creme Brulee and it was disappointingly cold and ordinary. I don't know if we caught them on a bad night, but definitely not what we expected.

    Food was delicious and visually beautiful as well! It was a busy night so it did take us a while for the server to get our order after being seated. We did receive complimentary strawberry mousse for our anniversary! Yummy too!
