    When four Park Hill families didn't like what was happening in their neighborhood, they decided to band together and do something about it. But it wasn't crime they were fighting, or drugs, bums or slums--it was the lack of a good neighborhood... More »

    The Cherry Tomato has a friendly casual feel inside along with great staff. Their food was so good. I definitely recommend the Seafood Fettucine, it was amazing. I do not think you will be disappointed with anything on the menu.
