   We arrived at 6:50 for our 7:00 reservation and weren’t seated until 7:10. They weren’t able to accommodate my request for an inside booth. Our server was very helpful but the food was very slow to be served to our table. A little dissatisfied in the latest experience. Not what we have come to love with our past experiences there.

   Great customer service from beginning to end. Super friendly staff. Food was good, ordered coconut shrimp and crab cake appetizers along with salad, hamburger and fish tacos for our entrees. Coconut shrimp, salad and tacos were great. Crab cakes were mushy and burger was a mess. There was live music in the background, not too loud. Overall, I’d recommend Tommy Bahamas for a nice meal in a nice atmosphere.

   We always love coming here. Great food, great service. The live music was just the right vibe for a nice evening out. We were able to use a coupon, which meant we splurged a little on food. Worth it. Thank you Tommy Bahama!

   Enjoyable, with very good meals. Just wish the noise level could be lower to make for a more relaxing meal. Hard to have a conversation with friends.

   What happened to the potatoes on the steak salad. Those string things get soggy.

   Our daughter/husband were flying in for the weekend from Utah and we love TB...so we made reservations and requested a booth. A booth was not open and we were offered a half booth - but when we were seated a booth behind us was open. Do Not seat in a half booth - when you sit on the booth side - it's like sitting in a highchair with the table way below you. The couple that was seated next to us - said OMG - this is horrible and it is...I asked why we didn't get the open booth and was told it was reserved or requested - which I had done in my reservations weeks earlier. The location looking at the bar was noisy and uncomfortable. Please note: they have a new "roll out menu". We go there often and this is the first complaint...but know if you like the tacos - which use to be 3....you now get 2 for $20.00. My daughter ordered ahi tacos and the waiter put his sales pitch hat on for the ahi salad....and she caved....and said "ok"...Have never had a waiter not accept our order and pitched another item on the menu (I believe it was Tyler). The food was of the same quality and delicious - but again - reduced due to the new menu. It was a disappointing luncheon on a special occasion. Will not stop us from going back but will never sit in a half booth.
