   Our reservation was at 6:30pm. MaWe arrived 30 minutes early and were promptly seated outside facing west. The sunset was amazing! Our waiter was excellent! Even though he was very busy, he took time to make conversation and give pleasant advice! The food was served on time and was prepared excellently! The atmosphere was crowded but we could converse without having to raise our voices. The price was very reasonable compared to other places we’ve been to in Hawaii. All in all, I highly recommend Tommy Bahama Restaurant!

   We’ve eaten here several times in the past and have always had a great experience. However this most recent experience was subpar. Both dinners (8oz filet and macadamia crusted ono) were over cooked and dry. Both dinners were also extremely salty. In addition the waiter was MIA for most of the meal service. Not a good experience for this restaurant!

   Bellissima atmosfera e personale fantastico. Cibo e bevande ok anche se troppo cari (come in tutti i ristoranti americani)

   We enjoyed our meal at Tommy Bahama. Our waitress was very attentive and the food was good. The frozen Mai Tai was really good! This is a twist on the standard Mai Tai and I liked it better than a regular Mai Tai on the rocks. The only thing that could have been handled better is our seating. We were initially seated in a booth close to the entrance. We asked to be moved to another table away from the entrance...I think this annoyed the hostess as she put us in the back part of the restaurant and said "the sun will be beating down on you in 10 minutes" and walked away. Needless to say, we didn't want to stay in that location. We asked to move again and were seated (where we wanted to go in the first place) to another table that was just fine. It just felt like she was trying to punish us for requesting to be moved. After that, we had a nice meal and great service.

   A very reliable and great experience at this neighborhood restaurant. Great food, great service, Happy Hour pricing takes the edge off the resort prices. We had a great after work meeting and enjoyed it very much.

    Ambiente piacevole, atmosfera rilassata da vacanza. Come in tutti i ristoranti americani, i cocktail sono troppo costosi.
