Tomiko Restaurant & Bar
In her time abroad, Tomiko touched down in Taiwan, Turkey, and Korea, savoring the cuisines of each region and even delving into eats native to the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Thirteen years ago, she used her encyclopedic knowledge of world cuisine to found Tomiko Restaurant & Bar, an eatery that sits on a hilltop overlooking purple and pink ocean sunsets. The menu brings together diverse dishes that Tomiko sampled on her travels, from sushi netted via sustainable practices to Asian beef wraps tucked around Korean-style barbecue beef. Chefs add healthy touches to their signature dishes, including hormone-free meats, gluten-free rice, and soy sauce lighter than an astronaut's toothbrush.
