House Chips

“This is a pretty good place for a hotel bar and restaurant. However, they are missing a couple of things. First, the drinks are overpriced by $2-$3 each (at least). $19 for an Old fashioned at a hotel bar (and another dollar for an ice ball)? The best food here is the pizza (two topping for $16) which is cheaper than one drink. This is made up by darn good service. Not exceptional, but darn good. A couple of the bartenders make great drinks and are very good. Wait staff above average but nothing you’re going to brag about. No great or normal appetizers. No chips. No nachos. Cheese sticks for $18. Wings, board, or some other stuff that doesn’t make sense for a hotel bar. Missing some basics and high $ for what you get. However, there is no where else to go without taking an U er or car ride. So you are trapped for the prices and what they have.“

I followed the fresh made guacamole with the grilled ribeye and it was a perfect blend of flame kissed savorieness and a very slight scald flavor to give it some earthiness. The prices are reasonable the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. This place is worth driving out of your way for. You will NOT be disappointed!!!“

“Having visited several Tommy Bahama Restaurant locations across the country, I approached the Estero outpost with familiar expectations—and found it delivered the brand’s signature blend of relaxed sophistication and dependable quality. On a recent lunch with friends, the restaurant’s inviting setting and attentive service set an easy, convivial tone from the outset.

The menu performs exactly as one hopes for midday dining: fresh, flavorful, and consistently well executed. As with other locations, the lunch offerings shine, providing satisfying yet unfussy dishes well suited to a casual coastal afternoon.

If there is a drawback, it lies in the seating layout. The space feels notably tight, particularly during peak hours, which can make the bustling dining room feel compressed. Still, the lively energy contributes to its charm, and the addition of live music is a welcome touch that enhances the island-inspired ambiance.

For a relaxed, enjoyable lunch with solid cuisine and prime people-watching, Tommy Bahama in Estero remains a reliable and appealing choice.“

“From the moment we were greeted to the final moments of our dining experience, Alexus elevated what could have been a simple night out into something truly exceptional. Her presence was effortlessly warm, attentive without ever being intrusive, and carried a level of professionalism that is increasingly rare to find.

Alexus possesses that intangible quality that separates a good server from a truly great one—an ability to anticipate needs before they’re spoken. Every detail was handled with precision and care, from her thoughtful menu recommendations to her impeccable timing throughout the meal. She demonstrated a deep knowledge of the offerings, spoke with confidence and authenticity, and made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish.

What stood out most was her genuine enthusiasm and kindness. She didn’t just serve us—she created an experience. Her energy was welcoming, her demeanor polished, and her commitment to excellence was evident in every interaction. It is clear that she takes great pride in what she does, and it shows in the way she engages with her guests.

Without hesitation, I can say Alexus is one of the finest servers I have ever encountered. She is an absolute asset to the restaurant and a major reason we will be returning. If you have the opportunity to be served by her, consider yourself fortunate—you are in the very best hands.“
