Brought my dad here for his 65th birthday dinner tonight 9/19/25. He’s a no fuss guy who prefers a walk up, order at the window and find a picnic table to eat his usual fish fry and onion rings in peace type. But it was a milestone birthday so somehow I convinced him to let me take him to a sit down dinner. I am so glad I chose The Ripe Tomato.
After scouring restaurants for a week straight trying to find one with his food interests and the ambiance I thought he may be comfortable in, I made a last minute reservation the day of for 530pm.
We arrived 10 minutes early, however, we were seated immediately. We were served a basket of fresh, warm bread accompanied by a small plate of olive oil and roasted garlic for dipping, only moments after we sat down. Soon after, our lovely waitress (I forgot her name but she was simply wonderful. Blonde hair and had a tie with I think the Pac-Man ghosts on it - please give her a raise, I’m begging you) greeted us.
As we already knew what we wanted, we put an order in for the mozz moons and two orders of the Yankee pot roast. Both the app and the entrees were cooked to perfection. My dad finished his plate and was even going back to the bread basket to soak up all the pot roast gravy.
After we got home, he said it was the best dinner he’s had at a restaurant in as long as he can remember and that he wishes he had seconds.
5⭐️ to The Ripe Tomato. Thank you for an amazing dining experience and for providing my dad with a wonderful meal for his 65th. We will certainly be back.
