    Always a favorite stop of ours when we visit Sarasota. Food is always good, staff is always great. The live music is also fun. But can be a little loud but still sets the vibe.

    We love this restaurant. We normally sit upstairs because the main floor is way too noisy. Today the upstairs was not open so we were forced to eat on the main level……..extremely noisy and difficult to hear the person sitting right next to you or our lovely server. They really need to add noise dampening panels to the ceiling. Everything else was wonderful.
    Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar - SarasotaResponded on September 26, 2024
    Hi Vikki, Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you love Tommy Bahama Sarasota and enjoyed your overall experience. We appreciate your suggestion for noise-dampening panels and apologize for allowing the volume levels to affect your visit. We are sharing your comments with management and hope to provide a more relaxing atmosphere in the future! Sincerely, Tommy Bahama Guest Services
