"Trying to understand Tomat in Westchester will be difficult for most first-timers. The space is tucked in the back of a massive strip mall, the parking a boon for car-loving Angelenos. On the second floor, Tomat offers a private events space with an extra pastry kitchen that’s mostly closed during dinner service. The third-floor rooftop lounge is ideal for aviation watching. Dishes are excellent, using top-grade seasonal produce and prepared with fine dining precision. The chicories-based salad is generous and dressed like a Chanel model in its utter elegant simplicity. The Rancho Gordo beans are dreamy and comforting, gently firm on the inside like a legume version of al dente. The $85 bone marrow and beef pie, a nightly special, is big enough for four people to share. The butter, flakey crust that soaks up the gravy and minced meat make this one of the best and heartiest dishes I’ve had this year. The piri piri chicken was very tasty, if overpriced at $65 for half a bird." - Eater Staff
