Stopped by late one night for a final drink and some food. Everything on the menu sounded great but we weren't too hungry - opted for the fried green tomato appetizer with blackberry marscapone and smoked salmon and the mixed fries with spicy ketchup. Both were very tasty. My friend thought the fried green tomato was a little to gourmet for her, but I very much enjoyed the mix of flavors. They also have a full bar and I opted to try their Bloody Mary (made with their homemade bloody mary mix) - a bit too much horseradish for me but tasty.
We sat on the patio but really would have liked to sit on the upper patio with the mural of the solar system with the tomato as the center of the universe. Guess that will be for the next visit, which there definitely will be a future visit here! I'm very glad to see this caliber of restaurant in the newly revitalized downtown and hope to see others like it in the future.
Awesome addition to downtown Pittston. Â Very different from any other restaurant in the area. Â The menu is unique and the food does not disappoint. Â Pair the amazing food with a great beer selection and you've got a winning combination. Â The grilled cheese is a must try. Â Nice crunchy bread with a blend of cheeses and tomato. Â The zesty crab mac and cheese was also good and worth trying, but the crab got lost in the dish. Â Burgers have a great flavor and the blend of meat in the patty really makes it shine. Â Fries are awesome and be sure to ask for a side of the spicy ketchup which comes with the fry platter but not the dishes. Â Not sure why they don't automatically include it with each dish instead opting to up charge the customer for it. Â Still totally worth it.
Hopefully more restaurants like this will start popping up with the revitalization efforts in downtown Pittston. Â Would love to see the city become a hot spot for dining.
Unique menu, perfect service. I had a hard time deciding what to order, but thankfully my table-mates are sharers! I started with the house salad and a side of citrus ginger dressing. The salad was gorgeous! I wasn't a fan of the dressing - had a bitter aftertaste - but a my friends liked it. My entree was the Ribs & Mac, which was presented beautifully - seriously gorgeous plating at this place. The mac was supposed to come with friend pickles, but we were told their cuke shipment was rotten so everything was pickle-free that day. I really wanted to try their house-made pickles, but I guess I'll wait for another time. I tried a few of the fries with spicy mango ketchup (amazing) and some of the grilled cheese. I definitely think I'll get the grilled cheese when I return - with five cheeses, herbs and roasted tomatoes, it was a dream-sandwhich. OH - and it was grilled in duck fat. Yeah. So! Dessert! House made, my friends ordered the chocolate bombe and the bread pudding. Both were excellent and not too cloying. A great ending to a great meal. The only reason this place isn't five stars, in my opinion, is that I felt the serving sizes for the mac dishes were pretty small for the price: $9.50 for a small crock. It's great mac, but I was a bit taken aback by the small portion, epsecially since it was listed as an entree.
Review Source:We picked a wonderful day to sit outside on the patio. Â NOT. Â It started to drizzle as we ordered drinks, so we were forced to move inside. Â
There were several items on the menu that caught my eye. Â I can't eat an entire cow (even though I was VERY hungry), so I narrowed it down to two cows and told the waiter to pick one. Â The Sonoma Burger or Inferno Burger. Â Which did I get? Â ...Sonoma Burger. Â Boy was I impressed. Â This burger came with roasted tomato, avocado, brie, pickled onion, and lettuce. Â The meat was very juicy. Â You could tell it wasn't frozen meat. Â The pickled onions really made this burger. Â Highly impressed. Â I also had a trio of fries on the side, which consisted of three different types. Â Never saw this anywhere. Â Great idea. Â If you wanna know what kinds of fries, guess you'll have to go and find out for yourself!
For dessert, we tried the Chocolate Bombe, which is chocolate genoise, white and dark chocolate mousse, and a chocolate ganache coating AND the Bread Pudding, which comes with fresh and whipped cream on the side. Â Both very good. Â
Overall experience. Â Great service, food, and company. Â
Btw, try the Strawberry Mojito.
Went to Tomato Bar on a Thursday night with a group of 6 and was very impressed. Our service was excellent, there was a good beer and cocktail selection, and the food was unique and delicious. I shared the zesty crab mac and cheese and the grilled cheese sandwich with my boyfriend and both were outstanding. The mac and cheese itself was creamy and delicious and the peppers, tomato, corn and crab was a very good combination. The crab wasn't necessarily the best I've had, but it was good and the dish overall was very enjoyable. The grilled cheese was perfection, with a blend of 5 cheeses and tomato grilled in duck fat it was mouth watering and very satisfying. The sandwich came with a trio of french fries, which were seasoned and also very good. Definitely ask for their spicy mango ketchup to dip them in!
The others at my table also enjoyed their dishes. The ribs and mac had great flavor and the Sonoma burger looked fantastic. For dessert we shared the bread pudding and the chocolate bombe. The desserts were rich but not too huge and were made in house. A great end to a fantastic meal and overall experience. I would definitely return.
Despite previous posted reviews , my husband and I decided to check this place out. We were greeted and seated immediately, choosing to sit outside on the patio. The waitresses were attentive and extremely friendly. Our drinks were delivered promptly and were never empty. Our food was fabulous! We sat and enjoyed the patio, various drinks and a few appetizers. Â This place is a gem in downtown Pittston. We will definitely return!
Review Source:The revitalization of downtown Pittston Pennsylvania, is ever closer with the addition of this bar and eatery. Â I'm back in my hometown area, visiting and my sister said she was itching to try this new place, on account of all the beer they have on tap.
The space is comfortable and certainly looks as if they picked it up out of bustling downtown in (place big city name here). Â
Service was friendly and fast. Â Our hostess and servers did a good job with a child's special order (my niece) and knew about the menu as we made our choices
The duck confit appetizer I ate was good. Â Not great, but good. Â It lacked crunch on the crustini and the duck itself was a bit dry. Â The taste was however, just fine.
I left there wanting to come back again.
Yikes! What an awful experience my friends and I had here last weekend. I was anxiously awaiting trying this place out, but having moved to Philly a year ago it was not so easy. However, I came in for The Office Wrap Party in Scranton and planned my night around getting here for dinner and drinks with my girlfriend and a few other friends.
We stood like idiots near the entry for a few minutes trying to determine if we seat ourselves or not. Then, a group of people already sitting at a table said that we can seat ourselves. So, we sat down and waited a few minutes but still no waitress came to our table. Then, a group of 5 or 6 older people came in and were greeted by a waitress almost immediately and they sat at a table right next to us. Â We figured this meant we'd finally get service...wrong! After taking drink orders for that table and even coming back and fixing one man's drink because it apparently wasn't up to his standards, the waitress still hadn't acknowledged the fact that a group of people were sitting there with no drinks or menus. A second waitress came to check on that same table, which was when I decided I was going to order directly from the bar.
I made eye contact with numerous people behind the bar when they weren't talking to each other, and I had money in my hand (a tell-tale sign I'm ready to go here!) and still nothing! I went back to the table after a few minutes to see that there was still no success at the table for my friends, either.
I guess it's possible we had all accidentally dressed in our invisibility cloaks that night or that I dreamed up this entire experience, but I'm ALMOST positive neither of those things happened. Maybe they can't see people who are under the age of 30?!
The place is beautiful and the menu (which I found online) looks amazing, as does the beer selection. I also believe that the same people running this business also own Brews Brothers and Saints and Sinners, two places I have gone to numerous other times (and ironically ended up at Saints after this failed experience).
But, if you're going to charge the prices in place here, it's important to actually wait on people to make any money. Despite the entertainment value of sitting here in shock for 30 minutes, we didn't feel the need to tip anyone for sitting on your chairs!
