Tommy Bahama Restaurant, Bar & Store

Beautiful setting and comfortable space between tables to allow for conversation and of course the food was delicious.

Our reservation was at 3:45p on a weekday so there were plenty of tables. We waited for a few minutes for the front desk staff to return to be shown a table. My friend and I enjoyed the Crab Cake appetizer w slaw, and the special encrusted fish, rice and asparagus. Her 'Permanent Vacation' cocktail was good and I enjoyed my iced tea. We were not offered bread but the waitress brought the rolls on request.

Fantastic lunch spot. We've eaten here a dozen times and it's always fabulous food and service. We love the patio seating. People bring their dogs and it's always a lot of fun!

We couldn't get an outdoor table, but the indoor table ended up being fine for us. Food was excellent. A little noisy? Music seemed a little loud for us. All in all was a good experience.

Great food, drink, and waiter. It was a bit loud, especially when the music was playing. Overall, it was a great experience.

We discovered a Seasonal Special early in the season: Crusted Halibut. We have gone back more than 5 times since to have it! It is that delicious. The fish is done to just right cooked, topped with delicious crust and scrumptious sauce. My mouth is watering as I am writing this review. The Jasmine rice is excellently prepared. The asparagus a little under cooked for my taste but that's me. I prefer it softer verses hard and crunchy. The desert selection shown on a tray is hard to pass up. If I indulge, I have to take it to go since the meal is so filling. We try to go off time since the noise level is high especially in the bar area but they do have a sectioned off area which can be less noisy unless there is a big group set up there which we have encountered (and I have gone with by book group of 7 members so I know and appreciate that space for us (reserved ahead of time) I highly recommend them for their service, food and accommodations. I also appreciate their points program toward future visits. No charge and have raked up at least a couple of free glasses of wine at different visits. Enjoy1

We're regulars so they must do something right! This sure the service was good, the food excellent. The only real negative was they were very busy so drinks service took a while and they made a couple of mistakes with that. But overall very good.

The lobster spring rolls are very tasty and the goat cheese dip is my go to favorite starter. We love the lobster bisque and the filet mignon salad

Another great meal at the Newport location. The new seasonal menu offerings were fantastic and the service was absolutely amazing.

Frank was a fantastic waiter - helped make our experience special Pilar was also very attentive- made sure everyone was happy

Tommy B's is always a nice get a way during those busy weeks. The summer menu was varied and interesting and the service was super (our Server was Nic). At first it was a little cool, so our server volunteered to have the heading lamp lit, which really helped until the sun came out. A highly recommended way to have a great lunch.

Was great - just link before. The food was top notch,started with the ahi mini tacos( won ton shells ) I had Chilean sea bass, others had, ribs, blackened Mahi tacos & crab salad-it all was delicious, generous potions no skimping on the seafood/ meat portions. Reasonable prices. Our server Sebastian was awesome, very attentive.

Lol ordered 4 dishes but didn’t take a pic! My pic is too ugly I know but the food is the best in Newport!!! I have to leave a recommendation on google!!!

The food is delicious! The service is great... and that's each time we come here! We're looking forward to more summer visits, especially in the bar with the nightly live music 🎶

Tommy Bahama in Corona Del Mar never disappoints—it’s one of those places where the minute you walk in, the vacation energy takes over and you know you’re about to have a great time. Even with a short wait, they welcomed us with complimentary champagne, which instantly set the mood.

The bread service is a non-negotiable—just make sure you ask for it. The warm rolls with honey butter are soft, golden and soft. Total crowd-pleaser.

This visit, my older daughter switched things up and tried the Wagyu burger—we got everything on the side, and she actually loved it. Cooked perfectly, juicy, and super flavorful. My younger one went with the kids’ chicken tenders with fresh fruit, and the plate was clean in minutes. It’s nice to see thoughtful kids’ options that don’t feel like an afterthought.

As always, I ordered my go-to: the Caesar salad, this time with grilled chicken. Their Caesar is bold, crisp, and so satisfying, and the chicken juicy, well-seasoned, and beautifully done. I’m always torn between the salmon and grilled chicken—both are so good it’s hard to choose.

We ended with dessert—Key lime pie with macadamia nut shortbread crust and lime zest (bright, creamy, and not too sweet), and the warm berry cobbler with ice cream, which was the perfect cozy finish. Cobbler is a puff pastry style and not what I imagined but I still managed to finish it.

Shoutout to Taylor for the incredible service—attentive, warm, and just on top of everything without being overbearing. She really made the experience seamless.

Whether you’re coming for a family meal or a special night out, Tommy Bahama brings it all: food, service, and that easy, beachy elegance that keeps you coming back.
