    We had a wonderful dinner with friends. We sat outside and it was very enjoyable. We all had fish dishes. I had the crabcakes and they were excellent. We also had the shrimp appetizer, which was very good. Our waitress handled the service perfectly so we didn’t feel rushed

    I found the food to be expensive and not very satisfying. We wanted a light lunch and there was very little on the menu to order. Would be a much better place for dinner. I will not be back for lunch.

    The team at Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Marlin Bar, Sarasota are stupendous. Adam’s service was every bit as awesome yesterday (my birthday) as 10 weeks ago when he served us for my wife’s birthday!! We have been visiting this location for every “life event’ for the past 5 years! Well done folks, well done!!!

    Music was way too loud. We couldn’t talk and hear one another. And to top it off, he wasn’t a good singer. It really was not a good experience. We noticed ( our 3rd time) in 2 months time that it is not busy or full. Why? Perhaps the music is causing this?

    Rude and terrible hostess on second level. Banged dishes and overall behaved badly. Food was mediocre at best, and out of key lime for martinis. Crazy!!! We have LOVED Tommy Bahama for many years, but this night was ruined with special guests from Denver. Will not go back!

    Daughter got sick from poke bowl. Felt the fish was not ok

    Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar - SarasotaResponded on March 9, 2023We are sorry to hear about your daughters illness. Did you happen to bring your concern up to your server & if so did a manager stop by to help resolve the issue? We served 29 Tuna Poke bowls that day & did not have any other instances. A great deal of care goes into maintaining product w/ daily date & temperature checks. We're concerned there may be an allergy to an ingredient. Respond to this message/call the restaurant to discuss ask for Nancy or Chef Eric & they will be happy to discuss.

    We were originally seated at the upstairs level, which was extremely loud. They were gracious enough to find a table on the main floor, where it was much more quiet.

    We came specifically for the key lime martinis, as they are amazing. We were told that TB is out of the main ingredient to make them. We decided to leave. The menu is meh and overpriced. We went to a more fun environment and had a great $10 drink, not $15+ for what we didn’t really want.

    Filet salad is delicious. Ordered a glass of Merlot and it came out in a cold glass and the wine was also cold. Asked the waitress about it and she said they serve all wines, red and white cold. The management must not understand red wines. Other than that everything was great.

    We use to love their Salmon Bowl and some of their fish dishes. But they changed up their menu! Replaced their salmon with a different kind. Sorry, I had to send it back. Please change it back!!!!!! Just not the quality Tommy Bahamans should have. It use to have a tropical taste to their restaurant. Now its more like a fast food type. We are locals and hope they change it back.

    Very disappointed in SRQ dining experience. I had been at HH three days before and received HH pricing without sitting at the bar- this dining experience I had reservations during HH and was placed at the exact same table as I was at three days ago- the host indicated the only way to receive HH prices was to be at the bar……I explained the situation and no one was interested in explaining why the difference between the two dining experience. I had my 100 year old mother as she enjoyed T’coconut shrimp and is on a fixed income I made reservations to enjoy the great HH prices at the St Armand’s TBs. Very disappointed over all in the lack of customer service .
