Diner Reviews
  • "Have been here several times for lunch. Always consistently good. Love some of their specialty dises like the Ahi Poke appetizer. They are always busy yet the service is impeccable. My Server was really great. Was always there when U needed yet left U along long enough to have a discussion at the table. Good for a quick lunch meeting. And of course it wouldn't be complete without their signature cocktails. The MaiTai being my favorite."

  • "The lobster grilled cheese sandwich is amazingly DEVINE and it is served with a heirloom tomato soup the best tomato soup I have ever had!!!!!! A must have. The mango tea was so refreshing on a hot summer night!!!"
    Dined on 7/12/2014
  • "Although the food was good and the service great, the noise level was overwhelming. The live music was so loud that we had to shout at each other to be heard. Not a good place for a relaxing lunch. Glad we tried it though. At least we know it is not for us."

  • "TOMMY BAHAMAS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS. THE FOOD IS ALWAYS GREAT AND THE SERVICE ALSO!"

  • "We decided to eat outside on the patio on such a beautiful evening. We had planned a dinner with old friends. As the patio cleared and the sun set, the RATS began to run through the bushes just next to the table where we were eating. All four of us saw and identified the rodents. We notified the manager on duty that night and she simply said, "Oh, that's not good. Thank you for letting me know." Really? That will be our last $200 dinner with rats and mediocre food, poor service and a manager who simply isn't concerned about the health concerns."

  • "Had a great lunch at Tommy Bahama's. We had the American Kobe Burger and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Both were cooked to our specifications and tasted wonderful. Great service as we enjoyed our outdoor dining."
    Dined on 6/30/2014
  • "I come here often, especially for lunch with girl friends. We always share the fish tacos as it is a plate with 3 tacos and we ask for 4 tacos and have them split it, two each. That's plenty as they are large, filled with fish, cole slaw and a delicious sauce. The service is outstanding and friendly. Noise level at lunch is quiet but in the evening with people drinking it can be a little noisy. ENJOY!"

  • "We originally booked this restaurant for a bridal shower lunch because the bride is honeymooning in Hawaii. We were a party of 5 and sat on the patio, which was noisy but okay. Our reservation was for 1:15, so I thought it would be after the lunch rush and not an issue, however, our server Danielle must have been ready to clock out before we even sat down. She rushed us through our lunch with our orders being taken around 1:40pm and the time on my bill reads 2:27pm. Remember, this is supposed to be a bridal shower luncheon. At no time did she engage with our group, did not congratulate the bride or do anything to make her lunch special in any way. The total bill for 5 of us for lunch was $274.00 -- needless to say I was disapointed!"

  • "The burger was outstanding and cooked exactly as ordered: medium-rare! Their bread and butter is the best around as well!"
    Dined on 5/22/2014
  • "Met friends for Friday drinks and to kickoff our weekend. Had a great table with an outside view and an excellent server. Special cocktails were interesting. The wives enjoyed the Blood Orange Margaritas. The guys stuck with the Classic Margaritas, which were very good. Live entertainment in the bar area goes not overwhelm the conversation at the dining tables. Highly recommend the Coconut Shrimp appetizer and the the Chicken Tortilla Soup as starters. Entrees, Burgers are all interesting. Give the Tacos a try as well."
    Dined on 5/16/2014
  • "Prices too high and choices not perfect. No Ranch dressing for one. Also sweet-potato fries or not good. Waitress just wants to sell dessert. Chicken sandwich is twice normal price. I'll never go back."
    Dined on 5/14/2014
  • "Tommy's is one of our restaurants, whether it's date night or dining with friends. The vibe is fun and casual. The bar is lively and the drinks creative. Their fish tacos are the best!"
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "We were seated immediately upon arrival. The wait staff, especially Alexander was very nice, attentive and helpful. Tommy Bahama does not change the menu up very often so we ordered a special sea bass offering which turned out to be not that special but OK. It could have been better for $39.00 a plate, just fish on top of sticky risotto with mushroom gravy. Hats off to the staff though, it was Mother's Day and packed but everyone was having fun. They did an outstanding job of accommodating all the families. "
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "Food was very good. It was Mother's day and service was spotty but understandable. Nice people though. I had my birthday there last year with more guests. Service was better."
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "Great restaurant. Service was excellent, food was great. "
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "It was just an off night for them, they usually rate much higher marks from us. The food was especially off -- skimpy fish taco appetizer, no meat on the artichoke, steak was over cooked from what was requested, skimpy full rack ribs and sweet potatoes, etc. I think everyone deserves a break though, and we will give it to them this time."
    Dined on 5/10/2014
  • "Went to Tommy Bahama's Island Grille in Newport Beach/CDM for a Mother's day lunch...yes a day earlier than the official Mother's Day. My mom does not like going out on Mother's day due to all of the traffic, copious quantities of people and usually mediocre service because the restaurants are so busy. Anyway, we had a great time. The food and service were excellent. Will go back again in the future."

  • "Food and service were great. Really like this place. "

  • "I have been here a few times. This time was extremely disappointing. Our service was horrible. We had to get our own plates for our bread because they never came. The food was average at best. The quality seems to have slipped from the last time we came. We should have gone to Roys...."
    Dined on 5/3/2014
  • "Food was OK not great. Expected more for the price."
    Dined on 5/3/2014
  • "We love to dine here! Always Love the grilled artichoke and steak salad! They both are full of flavor! The noise level can be a little too much in some areas, especially on the weekends. I had requested a quieter area in my reservation but was almost seated two tables away from the entertainment. We asked for a different table further away which was better. We prefer it a little quieter. "
    Dined on 5/2/2014
  • "We have dined several times at TB and love to conclude our evening with some shopping in the store. Quite disappointed this time as the service was terrible. After being seated and greeted, we quickly ordered beverages, and an appetizer, it took close to 20 minutes for our server to return. I had to request another server go looking for her. After the appetizer, we waited another long period for our salads to arrive. Diners close by, seated after us, we're enjoying their meals long before us. The kale salad was dry, the crab salad had so much lettuce you could hardly find avocado. We were dining with a toddler and would of appreciated our server being more cognizant of that aspect. She seemed overwhelmed and was less than attentive."
    Dined on 4/29/2014
  • "The food was great. I don't normally like fish tacos but my trainer recommended them and I absolutely loved them! Also the grilled artichoke with aioli sauce was to die for. I don't know what they put in the butter but it was fantastic on the warm bread. We ate on the patio and it was an absolutely gorgeous day. Because we came so late for lunch (2:00pm), it was very quiet. Our waiter was fantastic."
