   Love eating here so much. Sas about the menu change. Really miss the plantains as a side with tacos. Happy they still have my favorite pineapple creme brulee. Love the tacos but when it arrived I was expecting the usual 3 tacos but they have down sized with only 2 tacos. I understand businesses having to do so to stay afloat but wasn't aware of the change. I hope you will be around for many years as you are our favorite restaurant. Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive. Will be back for sure.

   The food is superb! I have been to Tommy Bahamas many times and have always enjoyed it. On Friday, January 18th, I had the worst waiter in over 50 years of dining out in nice restaurants across the country. It was a very cold day, and the young hostess did not ask my sister and I whether we minded eating outside. I am 79, and my sister is 78. We were seated outside, and I asked about a possible heat lamp and was ignored. I went out to my car and brought back sweaters. That could have been tolerated, but I had a male waiter that argued with me over every choice. I wanted to eat as quickly as possible and go get warm. I ordered tortilla soup and coconut shrimp, and my sister ordered the baby back ribs. I told him to put in both entrees immediately as I eat quickly, and my sister eats slowly. He brought my soup (delicious) and I finished it almost immediately. About 15 minutes later, the waiter stopped by and said he would put in the entree orders. Finally, we received our entrees. Ten minutes later, I asked him to bring the dessert menu. He said that they had a 3-D dessert menu, and I would have to clear the table to make room for it. I complied. Later he brought out what is better known as a dessert tray. I ordered a creme brulee, and my sister ordered the key lime pie. A few moments later, I saw a waitress perch her dessert tray on the edge of a very full table for adjacent diners. About then I saw a member of the staff go to a nearby shed and wheel out a heat lamp. The diners next to me and I watched it wheeled INSIDE the restaurant. We discussed how cold everyone was outside and how our hopes were dashed when it went past us. My waiter came back and asked if we wanted dessert. I told him we already had an order. He said "Oh yeah." I told him to bring the bill. A woman brought out the pie and I looked at the bill. He only put on one dessert. We paid and left. For the first time in my life, I wrote a note on the bill expressing my displeasure and a minimal tip.

   Tommy Bahama is one of our very favorite restaurants & it has become OUR meeting spot for lunch for one of my dear friends & me! We both had the Chicken Mango Salad which was exceptional! The grilled chicken breasts strips were so moist & delicious & all the various ingredients in the salad make it a tasty salad indeed. I have to give a shout out to our server, Taylor, who was so sweet, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu & just so kind! All in all, this was another wonderful lunch at Tommy Bahama!!

    Appetizers were great (coconut shrimp and lobster spring rolls). Entrees excellent (burger and Wagyu ribeye). The highlight was the service. Nick was outstanding. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the men, ingredients & preparation. We will definitely return.
