Red Tomato - Restaurant Review

The Red Tomato Restaurant is in Betheda, MD.

I ordered the Spagetti Frutti de Mare - pasta with shrimp, mussels and clams. Other restaurants that offer the same dish tend to provide equal portions of shrimp, mussels and clams, with a healthy portion of pasta. Red Tomato provided a ton of mussels, a few clams and two over-cooked, rubbery shrimp on a small bed of pasta. The dish was tasty, but unfulfilling.

The Mrs. ordered proschiutto pizza. The crust was burnt and the portions were small.

We were seated next to the kitchen, and had to deal with the steady flow of wait staff coming and going. The patrons at the table next to us were rude and annoying.

The portions were small. The dishes were overpriced. The food was tasty. But overall, I was disappointed. I don't plan on going back.
