   Again, the restaurant provided a memorable experience. Any issues were resolved with attention to detail. The food choices were priced very competitively with other restaurants, in fact, their price increases are below most other facilities. As usual for us, they make you glad that you joined them for dinner.

   We had a wonderful dinner experience. The food and service were excellent. There were a few gluten-free options that were clearly marked on the menu, and the server understood what that meant. Service was very attentive but not intrusive. We out outdoors on a lovely evening midweek - not too much foot traffic, the tables were on a side street so almost no car traffic, and the noise level was quite low. Can't think of a thing we would change.

   We had the worst server . He just kept disappearing, did not ask us if we wanted water or bread . I specifically said no butter on my Broccoli it came with Broccoli. We waited & waited for him to even bring the check . It was a very disappointing meal that was very expensive.

   We've been regulars for a LONG time. We probably dine there 2 times a month. In the last few months, things have really gone downhill. The floor of the dining room was filthy--papers from straw, sweetener packets, things like that were everywhere. The drinks took about 15 minutes to come. Their portion sizes have shrunk and the presentation isn't as pristine, like the kitchen staff is moving so fast, they no longer care about what the salads and tacos look like when they leave the kitchen. We waited 45 mins for food. It's obvious they're understaffed. But many restaurants are understaffed and the customers don't feel it--here, we did. It's really unfortunate, but I think it's time we take a break from Tommy's until we feel like they can get their act together.

   Definitely needs a good scrub. Floors dirty and silver wear super used. A trip to the ladies room takes you by the area wait staff fills sodas etc. so messy and not clean. Bad impression for the restaurant. You only wonder what the kitchen looks like. Food was less than ok. Will not come back.

    We arrived on time for our 6:15 p.m. reservation but the table was not ready....we checked again at 6:30 and were told to go upstairs, it was ready (note we did not receive a text telling us it was ready as we were told it would be coming) Waiter was very busy....we asked for bread after we ordered and he said it was being baked. He could have just told us that as we were waiting. Rather the entire evening was us asking for service. Food was tasty once it arrived

    Sat in a booth by the bar so expected some noise. Was tolerable. Was server’s first day but a more experienced server oversaw almost everything. Very accommodating and extremely pleasant. Only complaints were the Paloma should have had a grapefruit slice and when asked where the lime was for the coconut cocktail the new server said “those little green things must be the lime.” That was the MINT. Should have asked bartender, or come back with lime. Better luck next time.

    Two couples had a reservation for dinner on May 22, 2023. We were seated promptly, and our drink order was taken very quickly. Unfortunately, one diner did not like her alcoholic beverage and didn't think it was the one she ordered. The server offered her a different beverage, and she accepted and liked that one. The server was prompt, attentive, and pleasant. The coconut shrimp were excellent, and I turned the appetizer into an entree by adding a side of Yukon gold mashed potatoes. It was excellent! We enjoyed our evening.

    We ate outside because we had our dogs with us. Although it was a hot day, it was very pleasant in the shade. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. My husband had Thai scallops and shrimp. Presentation was excellent and he enjoyed the mix of textures and flavors very much. I had my favorite salad “ my way”. It’s the avocado and crab salad with no feta, onions, or dressing. Presentation is spot on and the salad is delicious! Our server kept our water and ice tea glasses filled. Definitely will go back and always recommend it to friends. I’m hoping they never take my salad off the menu!

    Have always counted this restaurant as a favorite place to celebrate my birthday! HappyHour on the balcony is great with a slim view of the sunset. My only complaint is the island style of the place means the acoustics are lacking and the noise level is deafening. Nearby large groups generally drown out any hope of an intimate conversation at your own table. There is little to absorb sound so it's loud, loud loud.

    We dined on Mother’s Day. We made 2 reservations for our families adding that if possible we would like to sit near each other.
