    First time at Elgin. Terrific meal, many varied choices. Excellent cocktails and mocktails. Great service and desserts. The hostess was very obliging when we asked to move tables out of high traffic area. We would go again.

    Always delicious & entertaining! I love a Saturday afternoon at Tommy's. The vibe is a little bit of everyone, doing everything. You have the holiday shoppers, to the tourists catcthing their breaths, and some locals just hanging out with friends! All with great, fresh food & drinks. The service was attentive yet not pushing & we lingered. We got great recommendations & the opportunity to taste our next new favorites with the coconut shrimp, roasted brussel sprouts, mahi tacos, crispy chicken sandwich with super crisp fries & non stop coconut cloud martinis! What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon in NYC! And please save room for that pina colada cake & the key lime pie!!! It will make your whole day better!
