Most amazing food in the island. Hands down. We made sure to go back with a very tight schedule to get to the airport just to eat there one more time before we left. Food is so fresh and tasteful and service is amazing!

Highly recommend Tommy Bahama restaurant for a great dining experience with a wide variety of great tasting foods, relaxing and welcoming environment, and great servers and staff. My wife and I try and go to Tommy Bahama restaurant at least once a week as it is always a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience.
