This was our third visit to Tomatoes, that unique little place in Hewitt that serves both Mexican and Italian dishes. We keep thinking we might try the Mexican side of the menu, but so far we've picked from the Italian side every time.

Fresh rolls and salad come with Italian dinners and we've commented before on the excellent bread. However, we were disappointed tonight that the bread was not warm. That didn't stop us from ordering a second basket! The salads are nothing special, just lettuce and a little bit of carrots. Tonight we both tried the house dressing, which had an unusual flavor. It reminded me of salsa.

Jim and I both tried new dishes tonight and were very pleased. My lobster ravioli was smothered in an excellent pink sauce that was very tasty. His seafood combo included mussels, shrimp, scallops, squid, and crab in a slightly spicy, tomato-based sauce and was served over angel hair pasta.

We skipped dessert this time, knowing that we had a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream waiting for us at home!
