Love this place but they took out my favorite, Miso Salmon Bowl, BEST ITEM ON THE MENU Other than that the service & the ambiance is always on point, just wish they would bring that item back. Now I'm just stalking everyone's photos craving & dreaming about it. I've tried so many other items on the menu but this one really takes the cake. I made a petition in hopes they can bring it back, perhaps think about signing it?

First time at Tommy Bahama's. Location is beautiful and we were seated outside. Very nice view and the weather was perfect. Our server was nice. Not super friendly but it's ok. The food was disappointing: Happy hour sliders: 2 small ones: 4/5. Steak Tacos: 3/5; lacking in flavor and came with a side of something sweet; Maybe coconut pineapple drip. Can't recall but was not good and didn't pair well. Ahi Tuna Tacos: 2/5 the shell was crispy but the tuna itself was not flavorful and the topping looked like they've been sitting on the kitchen counter for a while. Hard to explain. It didn't taste bad but wasn't fresh and enjoyable. Guacamole and salsa: 2/5. Maybe it's not our thing but the salsa tasted like roasted peppers and not in a good way. The guacamole was ok, I didn't enjoy it but my kid ate some so that's a plus. The chips were good. Kids margarita pizza: 0/5. Terrible. How can you mess up pizza? Crust is very thick, sauce has no flavor and the top has chunks of fresh tomatoes cut into 1/4. Who puts that (instead of nice circular slices) on a kids pizza. Even us couldn't enjoy it.

They took the Captiva off the menu. It was my favorite. Fresh and clean. Now it's lots of fried food. Not as happy. My fish was over cooked and very dry. But my guest had the same thing and it was perfect. Shrimp and blue crab pasta was really enjoyed and very generous portion. Drinks are always good. Fun place. Great staff. Usually crowded. No reservations taken, but ready to wait.

Yummy! Over priced hamburger slider's (cooked to perfection). Yada yada. Scallop slider,but my friend wouldn't share, and ate all of her order. I had the Miso Salman fish, I am going to enjoy it again Tomorrow for lunch, so I'm ok with the price $ Dedicated staff and perfect PS weather. Our lunch was on the patio, little black birds that congregate, I couldn't find a chair without birdies were lovely company, but I would suggest wearing a hardy trouser.

Happy hour food was pretty good. Frozen Maitai was really good. Cheese burger sliders and goat cheese dip were good.

The food is great and the drinks better. Happy Hour is worth it and the desserts to die for. The service is friendly and attentive. The warm bread basket will bring you back.

#NoLongerFriendtoDogs Been going here for 15 years. Always brought my well behaved 14lb Bichon Frise. Tonight I was informed we could no longer sit indoors, we had to sit on patio. That is fine with me. I understand. So once seated I asked the server to please bring me a child's chicken breast, no spices. (I knew Tommy Bahama has rules you cannot feed dog at table, and since we had been traveling all day, I was going to order the food, and while waiting, take my pup to my car with the chicken breast and give her the food there while my friends remained at the table waiting for our food) To some this might seem crazy, but I put her needs first. She cannot fix food herself. Next thing you know, the manager comes over explains that we cannot feed the dog in the restaurant...I said I am aware of that, that I would take it away and give to her off premises. So next thing...we wait and wait a very long time..finally I ask about her food and our own...the server says I am sorry we are NOT giving you the chicken breast until you are ready to leave. I was like "why" - we are following your rules...she responds it's not my policy it is the restaurants...OK, at this point, I did not get it at all....Im like....what is it to YOU if I feed my own dog outside your restaurant while they are prepping the food for our table...who cares? It would take 2 minutes and she would gobble it done...all good, right? Nope...they care. that's the new dog policy -- on top of all of it the server said 'what I can do is get you another sangria" I thought she was comping it because of the whole dog debacle...nope, we were charged. Fine...I get it all EXCEPT the dog crazy they have now implemented there - if you have a dog...avoid this restaurant. Total change in attitude now. #TommyBahamanofriendtodogs!!
