What Jeanette Kling doesn't like about Black Tomato:
I have had a million better experiences eating in Ottawa, especially in the Market. The food actually, wasn't terrible, but the restaurant is run down, messy and the service was not great. Others were disappointed with their food as well. I will not be returning in the future. View all feedback. What Orla G likes about Black Tomato:

Terrible! This restaurant has good, cozy atmosphere but is otherwise unremarkable.

The Black Tomato restaurant in Ottawa has received mixed reviews from customers. While some were disappointed with the long wait times, bland food, and sub-par service, others raved about the unique atmosphere, delicious house-made dishes, and friendly servers. Despite some setbacks, the restaurant offers locally sourced food, an impressive beer selection, and a cozy courtyard for outdoor dining. Overall, the Black Tomato seems to deliver a hit-or-miss dining experience, with both positive and negative aspects contributing to its reputation among locals and travelers alike.
