Big Tomatoes Description:
Taking advantage of its setting in a historic building---once a hardware store---Big Tomatoes has kept intact the hardwood floors and vintage drawers where bolts and nails were stored. But the food is all cutting-edge-modern with a menu created by chef Larry London, who has his own local TV segment every Friday morning. His creativity is as apparent as his penchant for using fresh, local ingredients. Start your meal with pistachio-dusted crab and seafood cakes; freshly steamed Canadian mussels with garlic, tomatoes and herbs; or tempura-battered asparagus served with zingy citrus dressing. Then, it's on to a caramelized pear and Gorgonzola salad with spiced walnuts, pan-seared scallops or grilled hanging beef tenderloin at this Mediterranean-style spot. For dessert, try the chocolate hazelnut or maple mascarpone cheesecake. There's also a nice wine and cocktail list that features a selection of Bellinis and grappatinis.
