Made a reservation for 745 on Saturday to celebrate my birthday. We sat there for 15 minutes and nobody came to even give us water. 3 different members of wait staff served other tables around us but we were ignored. My husband and I have frequented Tombo over the past 10 years with a few issues — but this is ridiculous. Will not recommend, will not return.

Nice restaurant and great staff. Food not so much. I got a braised short rib. It was ok but tasted more like pot roast. The risotto had a plastic like taste. My wife got a pasta special, which was much better. The alligator sausage and chicken soup was the best part.

Visited Tombo on a Monday evening with my girlfriends. We were seated promptly (made reservations) and had the most fantastic hostess (Kayla??). She was very attentive and friendly. As the night went on, the restaurant got busy. I highly recommend reservations. We had the egg rolls for our appetizer. Very tasty. I ordered the New York strip which came with a mushroom sauce, potato's and Brussel sprouts. I opted for a side of onions instead of the potatoes. The steak was char grilled perfectly as well as the sprouts. My friends ordered the fried snapper and veggies. It was delicious as well. We opted to skip desserts. Great food and excellent location!

My wife took me here for my birthday. I had heard of it, but never went. Sarah was our waitress, and she was awesome!! Any question we had, she knew the answer or went to find out. Glasses never emptied and she was very friendly. The food was amazing!! I highly recommend the baklava cheesecake. Sooooooooooo goood!!

I have been waiting for a while to come to this restaurant due to it opens at 5pm. I made it and it was very much worth it. I ordered a ribeye steak, mashed potatoes, and string beans delicious. The server very knowledgeable and on point. The price was very reasonable for the quality of food received and taste. I will be back.

Lively hidden gem, though targeted food selections, covers sea and land of the south. Good beer and wine selection, and desserts, a must.

Parking: Shared with other businesses.

Bar and Grill! More drinks than food on the menu. We went out of our comfort zone eating here but my husband said their burgers are one of the best he's had.

Stopped in for a quick dinner on our way through town. They offer a nice selection of southern comfort food. Great wine at reasonable prices, service was outstanding, and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the chicken pot pie and the s’mores pie! Limited non-garlic options for my partner with a garlic intolerance, but otherwise amazing!

My steak was tasty but it was too tough to cut with the kind of knife provided. I asked for a steak knife, but was given a regular knife with the end having a few serrations. I had to take the steak home. It was nearly as tasty the next day.

First time trying this location tonight. For starters I tried the fried green tomatoes, they were amazing! For the entrée I had the grilled ribeye medium well, and everything tasted great! I ordered the pasta to go, and it was cooked to perfection! The service at the bar was outstanding!
