We were looking for some good Italian food, so we decided to visit Tomaso's. The entire experience was unsatisfactory. You have to park in an awkward lot arranged so that you have to turn out and then back in before you find the Valet. Our waiter vacillated between hovering at the hostess station while staring at us to ignoring us completely. The salad turned out to be canned pears atop wilted lettuce with an odd topping of fried onion strings. The pasta was good, but not worth the $20 asking price. The dessert and coffee were served with no spoons, so we were forced to go foraging for extra silverware at a neighboring empty table. Finally, we had to wait at least five minutes at the valet station for the attendant to arrive back from his break. \n\nOn a Saturday night the restaurant was more than half empty, so the waiter really had no excuse. Luckily, his counterpart who was serving the next table over took pity on us and refilled our bread basket and water glasses, offered us fresh ground pepper for our appetizer, and  answered our questions about the dishes our own waiter had abruptly plunked down in front of us before bolting back to the hostess station. \n\nWhile the experience here gave us a lot to laugh about, we will not be returning to Tomaso's.
