First time at Tomato & Thyme...and sadly I think it will be our last. Walked in at around 1:15 and immediately got seated...then was forgotten about. Around 1:45 we got our order taken and was told they have no white toast...but when our food arrived lo and behold, there was white toast. I asked for my scramble to have no tomato or onions, and it was covered in onions. But the crowning glory was the long black hair we found in my mum's scramble that did not belong to her. Servers are more concerned about chit chatting with each other than helping their customers...which explains why we were the only people in the restaurant the last 30 minutes of our visit. read more

Tomato Thyme - Long black hair that did not belong to either my mum or myself - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Very pleasant atmosphere. Seevice was adequate but not special. Beet salad was good but the added roasted chicken was dry. The stuffed chicken breast was not stuffed and looked unappealing with the stuffing piled on top. The mashed potatoes were only partially mashed. Several large chunks were found. The manager didn't feel my comments rose to the level of a managers visit to our table. We asked by the waiter if there was anything he could provide as recompense. We declined. Hard pressed to trust the kitchen when they don't stuff a stuffed chicken breast or mash, mashed potatoes. read more

Good service Food is great Amazing place. Mostly quiet. I would come again! Pear salad is good read more

We've been coming here for over 5 years and while prices have gone up (show me where they haven't) the food quality has never wavered. My favorite is the scallop and prawn risotto or the filet of sole. My husband usually orders a steak or something from the specials menu, and most recently ordered lamb chops, which he said were delicious. Service can be a little hit or miss. But often times I find that it's a little slower when we don't have our kids with us, so I'm ok with a slower paced dinner when it's just us. Overall it's good food with decent service. read more

Loved this place! The food was superb and customer service was to die for!! I will definitely be back! The environment was very welcoming. read more

Last night my family of 7 decided to go to Tomato Thyme for dinner. We had not dined there for awhile so off we went. We were not disappointed! The service was impeccable from being greeted, to the servers providing us drinks, bread and taking our order. Everything was timed perfectly. Our meals consisted of calamari to start then the family ordered the calazone, lasagna, warm rigatoni with spinach salad, cheese pizza and open faced crab sandwiches. All the entrees were delicious! Next time we won't wait so long to dine at this restaurant again. Also, wanted to note the restaurant was pretty busy for a Monday night, a good sign people want to dine in any day of the week! read more

I came here for a birthday dinner with friends for the first time. I was excited to try a new restaurant. It was a busy Saturday night. We waited for a table for 10 minutes. The service was great. I ordered the Sole and my friends ordered the beet salad. Our dinners tasted great and we were happy customers. I will definitely be going back. read more

Well- Been here many times since they open. took my BF there tonight cuz I enjoyed all my past experiences but tonight was v upsetting especially as prices arise we deserve decent food and service. When we sat down a Hispanic male employee was our first contact as he asked if we want anything to drink, we ordered a glass of wine and beer. Wine came about aft 10 minutes, no beer ! We saw Adam cleaning dishes and asked him about the beer , he checked into this immediately and Within 5 minutes later the bar tender brought the beer. She said the order was not out in .. Then the food came at least 30 minutes from the time we ordered. We finished our dinner and needed containers felt ignored many times.. we had to once again ask Adam to get us bill and bring us some containers..Where was the waiter? We saw he was v busy perhaps too busy. The restaurant didn't have a lot of customers - I can't imagine if they did.. Food: My spaghetti w the bolognese sauce was extremely salty, couldn't eat it.. The fettuccine with chicken was good - $ 28.00??? The house salad was terrific. Too bad cuz it's convenient for me but now not sure if I would return. Cy read more

Casual family eatery. Large families accommodated. Three recent visits. Have not tried the brunch. Food is traditional Italian pasta, calzone, fig pizza, ribeye, burgers, and salads. Happy with the calzone. Hot peach cobbler dessert. Caution on cocktail: non-mixologist Blood Orange Cosmo--blood oranges were fresh puree, but garnIshed with a slice of a regular orange--instead of a dried blood orange. Ordered on three sep occasions, would not recommend this cocktail: really does not taste good. Ordered an Arnold Palmer: cannot recommend: pedestrian mix at best--flavorless, watery. Hot days, so tried refreshing 2 Towns Cosmic Crisp Hard Cider. Tasted good. House wines are inexpensive drinkable Salmon Creek. Ambiance: Okay. The environment is not upscale, a bit dated, but comfortable. read more

We came around dinner time and the dining setting was overall giving date night, which was not how I pictured it to be from the photos while looking this place up prior to visiting but I mean that in a "looks nicer in person" way. The room is definitely darker than the photos with a single light shining above the table that lit the table just right to keep the table as the main focus. We ordered the classic caesar salad, chicken marsala, and the fried chicken sandwich. The classic caesar salad was great -- dressing, crouton, and cheese ratio was well balanced with the amount of lettuce plated. The chicken marsala's chicken texture was sort of suspiciously mushy but the sauce and mushrooms on the chicken were quite tasty. The plate also came with veggies and pasta -- the veggies were cooked well and the pasta was delicious (had a buttery flavor). Fried chicken sandwich had coleslaw and an orange sauce inside of it but I'm not sure if they use a chicken breast or what because it was unpleasantly dry. There was a pickle spear pinned to the top of the sandwich that was also dry but I still ate it. The fries that came with the sandwich were okay though. This place has a bar as well which looked to be all filled up, which is good for them, for the business. The cups of water that they had ready for us as we sat down tasted like a rusted sink. Their prices are too high for the quality of the food (of course this pertains to what we ordered) but given its location and the predictable crowd, I guess I get it. read more

After our bad experiences with takeout over 2020 and terrible food poisoning early this year, we still wanted to give one of our all time favorite pasta places another shot for dine in... and so glad we did! The old quality that we grew to love with tomato thyme was just like how we remembered it to be. What made it an even more memorable evening back was how great our waitress Angie was... she gave amazing service and was so sweet to talk to. We also tried the mongolian shrimp pasta and it was different than our usuals, but very yummy.. We can't wait to come back! read more

Tomato Thyme is a wonderful neighborhood jewel! The food is delicious, the service is outstanding, and the ambiance is delightful. All of the wait staff are friendly and welcoming -- we have especially loved being waited on by Gaby, who is so conscientious and caring. read more

Four of us really enjoyed our meals, but my wife simply ordered spaghetti marinara sauce and mushrooms. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. it is not the first time she's ordered this and each time it was outstanding. The other dishes were excellent but it's just this simple dish set the standard. read more

First time here and the food and service was good. It was pretty overpriced though. I did feel that they had so many on staff that I felt them just waiting for me to finish so they could take my plate as soon as I'm done or fill my water once it was no longer full. As a vegetarian, they didn't have too many protein options so I opted for the salad. It was good and I liked the cheese and dressing they used. I also liked the beets, oranges and seeds to top it off. I would just recommend adding a tofu dish or beyond meat to the menu. The other two dishes were "delicious" as said by my partners. The apple pudding was great. Served warm with Ice cream on top. Not a fan of the whipped cream, but it all tasted fine. read more

We came in last night around 6:30 with another couple. Dishes ordered: Chicken Tequlila,Chicken Marsala,Ribeye and cheese bread starter. We all LOVED our dishes except our friend wasn't too impressed with Chicken Marsala. They also provided bread. No wait at all for a Saturday night. We also got the apple bread pudding dessert with extra scoops of ice cream.So good! Server was super sweet and we got excellent service from her and wait staff. Will definitely come back read more

Awesome food! Awesome staff! Had a great thyme watching the back of the house. In front of me. Taco salad was great!

Food fabulous! The menu has everyone's favorites plus a whole host of specials and dishes with a creative twist! BEAUTIFUL decor that is warm and inviting and in colors that remind us of the beauty and celebration of Italy. Entire restaurant and beautiful restrooms and kitchen are sparkling clean. Amazing bar. Gorgeous wine selection as well as full spirits. Thoughtful and warm staff. A large extra area perfect to host a party! Family friendly and also a wonderful spot for a romantic date night and everything in between. A HIDDEN GEM. My NEW FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT! Had to meet the owner Holly also a gem and her manager also warm and friendly. I forgot to take photos of food but trust me it was all DELICIOUS! Spaghetti, carbonara, salads, desserts, iced tea, meats, fish...Minor complaint no espresso machine just drip coffee. A MUST TRY. read more

This is one of my go to local Italian American restaurants! The food is consistently good and service is too. I usually order some type of pasta dish every time I go, but they also have really good pizza! My only suggestions are that the food can be a tad bit overpriced and the bread that they bring to the table before meals is not great. Other than that, very enjoyable! read more

I love this place. Always good food and service. Surprisingly large inside with cozy ambiance.

Really wish I could rate this with no stars. But I guess the only good thing about this place is the servers so for that the one star is deserving. As far as the food goes, it is absolutely horrendous. read more

My visit of this spot can be summed up like this: 1.Cold plates for hot food. 2. Warm plates for cold foods 3. Food being served over a stroller with a infant still inside the stroller. 4. Warm coffee being served instead of hot 5. Burnt waffles 6. Missing two orders 7. Plating was mediocre 8. Drinks were mediocre 9. Slightly over priced 10. They don't serve pancakes Came here for my parents 45th anniversary. We came here for their brunch. Their brunch menu was pretty standards except they didn't serve pancakes. The no pancake on the menu is typically indicative of a restaurant who have inexperienced chefs making breakfast. During my visit I ordered a egg Benedict with breakfast potato's and an order of avocado toast. Avocado toast: typically when I order this, it's served on a chilled plate. Plate was at room temp. The plating had avocado toast over welted arugula. I ordered the avocado toast with Smoked salmon which was curled on top to give the look of a pink rose. If it wasn't for the salmon, the avocado toast would have been bland. The eggs Benedict was not impressive at all. The hollondaise sauce lack flavor, runny, and the ham tasted like it came from the can. The egg was poached to perfection. The breakfast potatoes were literally 4 potatoes. What mad this dish disappointing was that it was served on a cold plate. Cold plates in hot meals are horrible. I would totally skipped this place. There are much smaller venues that are easy on the pocket and pack more flavor. I give this place two stars only because the ambiance was 3 stars. read more

Usually his brother grills something for dinner but he had plans and his son didn't have work. I suggested we take him out to dinner since we seldom do that. I've never been here and it has been on my bookmarks so I was excited to go. No reservations but we were seated right away but keep in mind that this place does get crowded. They both ordered an alcoholic drink.. Ronnie had 2 Tito's and tonic but it was fine since I was the one driving his car. His son ordered the cheesy bread sticks and they ordered a pizza (pepperoni and sausage, I believe). I ordered the fettuccine chicken tequila.. so scrumptious, heavy, and delicious.. I only ate about 40% of it because of how heavy it is but I'll admit that if it weren't for my fitness goal I would have finished the entire thing and order desserts. I boxed the leftovers and ate it for lunch the next day. Still delicious!!! Service was prompt. No complaints from us. Thanks for dinner, Ronnie. read more

I really like this restaurant and the entire staff seems to work hard to provide each customer a positive dining experience. It's not cheap, but if you wanted cheap you wouldn't be living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Just remember McDonald's wants $11 for a Big Mac and Domino's wants $20 for a pizza, so just sit down and enjoy exceptional, and great service at a fair price. read more

I brought my family here for a birthday party celebration. Unfortunately, there were some hiccups. We asked for a party of 11, the table was set for 10. (crowded). They added a chair on the end, it no room on the table room.0n the menu, "Sea Bass " was confirmed as Chilean by the waiter (as per the chef who apparently wasn't even there that evening), was not Chilean Sea Bass. It was an inferior, smelly white unknown fish. One diner didn't get his entree (obviously forgotten) and waited a very long time. One diner ordered Chicken Parm. It was like rubber. Sent it back and ordered a burger that took a very long time. One diner asked for a second beer, the waiter apologized for the wait (20 minutes) and said he would have poured it himself if he was 21. Three guests wanted an after dinner drink and were turned away at exactly 8:30. Patrons were still dining. Overall not a great place for larger parties. read more

I went here for lunch with my 12-yr old daughter and her friend (same age). We ordered 1 appetizer (sweet potato fries), 2 pastas with butter and parmesan and my ham/apple pizza plus tiramisu. The girls had shirley temples and I had coffee. The total bill was $95. The food was good. The service was fine until the end. The bill was presented and those 2 orders of buttered pasta with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top came to $36 ($18 each). Normally, I would have just paid the bill and been done but the portion of pasta was laughable for the price. When I asked about it, I was told by the server that the spaghetti on the main menu is $18/svg. I said I understand but that's with bolognese or marinara sauce. The manager came over and tried to tell me that the register was pre-programmed so he would have to see what he could do, if anything, on the price. He ended up adjusting the bill by $10. When I got home, I looked up the menu and the same pasta on the kids' menu is $9/each. Live and learn to continue ordering off the kids' menu here until my daughter is too old. The server and the manager could have approached this very differently and I would have left a happy customer. I will be back because our family generally loves Tomato Thyme but we'll be sure to check the bill each time! read more

Hit miss on food and service. Hadn't eaten here in years, and then went back- some of the pasta was amazing. So went back again a couple weeks later- service was terrible- our food came out 20 minutes after the people sitting next to us when we got there about 20 minutes before them. They ran out of our entrees so had to order something else- meaning the waiter must have mixed up the order since we ordered before the other table. read more

One of my favorite "go to" restaurants. I love the liveliness of the restaurant with different sections giving you a different vibe. Service & food are always very good. A couple of my favorites are clam chowder (best in the area) including any coastal establishments...and the spaghetti carbonara (delicious). Their lasagna is suppose to be one of the best and will try it soon. Nice draught beer selection. A Tip of the cap to TT's new manager, Todd for taking the time to introduce himself to my wife and I. Warm personality & class act. Smart hire. A perfect dining experience... read more

My wife and I go there often to enjoy the food and have some drinks as well. The food has a great assortment of items and the price is very fair. The food is always prepared to order amd excellent. In particular I like their "surf and turf" special of filet mignon and lobster. Our other cocktails of dirty martini, negroni or old fashoned are excellently prepared by Alexandria. Even though the bar can get crowded sometimes, she excellently serves all customers quickly and politely. As another reviewer said the staff here is excellent and polite. A great place to go and relax and enjoy. read more

Burger and fries are spectacular here! One of the best I've ever tried. Highly recommended.
