Tomatoe’s

This bayfront hot spot is worth the 15-minute drive south to the posh coastal community of Margate. Tomatoe’s combines a thriving bar scene with stellar sushi, sashimi and creative California-style entrees. Owners Karen Sherman and Carmen Rone were among the first regional restaurateurs to fully embrace Pacific Rim cuisine, and Sherman’s desserts, especially those involving seasonal fruit, should not be missed.
