"Described by Karen Palmer for SF Gate as a London‑inspired restaurant on the outskirts of LAX that was opened by first‑time restaurateurs Harry Posner and Natalie Dial; it is open all day, serving pastries in the morning and proteins off a wood‑fired grill at night." - Rebecca Roland
"Working with local farmers and suppliers to highlight seasonality along with California's bounty, Tomat features all-day dining, but it's in the evenings when the cooking turns more serious. The design feels as farm fresh as the ingredients, with red-orange leather seat cushions set against a pale green backsplash. Kick things off with their barbari bread with roasted tomato powder-dusted butter before savoring appetizers like charred seasonal vegetables over a smooth ajo blanco. Main dishes are meant for sharing, and the half Liberty Farms duck is a perfect choice. Deftly cooked with crispy skin, it's enhanced with a pomegranate and walnut mole. Sticky toffee pudding with a butterscotch sauce and a scoop of burnt milk gelato is the perfect finale." - Michelin Inspector
"After nearly being sideswiped by an airport shuttle, you might want to relax with a nice dinner and a cocktail. In that case, there’s Tomat, a sort of British, sort of Persian spot that’s good for an upscale dinner in Westchester. Our favorite dishes are their snacky items like the warm barbari bread or tomato salad, and if you arrive before the rooftop terrace closes around dusk, ask for a table upstairs where you can gaze at 747s while sipping a G&T. During the daytime, Tomat is also a solid pop-in option for pastries and coffee." - cathy park, brant cox
"London comes to Los Angeles with the arrival of Tomat, a Westchester restaurant from husband and wife team Harry Posner and Natalie Dial. At Tomat, Posner takes cues from global cuisine, blending British dishes with Los Angeles’s bounty of produce as well as Persian flavors from his own upbringing. The influences can be seen in dishes like smoky barbaric bread with roasted tomato butter and a fesenjān-inspired roast duck. In the mornings, Tomat serves croissants, dates, and pastries alongside coffee and tea; on nice nights, make sure to grab a seat (and a blanket) on the rooftop terrace for cocktails and plane-spotting. The all-day hours are ideal if you’re trying to kill time before or after an airport arrival." - Eater Staff
"Located in Los Angeles, Tomat focuses on seasonality with dishes like Liberty Farms duck with pomegranate mole and sticky toffee pudding." - MICHELIN Guide
