Tommy Bahama Restaurant | Bar | Store - Newport Beach

I kind of hate how much my husband and I love this restaurant. I mean, it has a Tommy Bahama store attached to it lol. That being said, food is stellar and service has been top notch every time! Becky was so lovely this afternoon. Honorable mentions:Mai tai (rum float on the side- trust me!)Blackened fish tacos Ahi wonton tacos Parmesan crusted chicken

We sat at the bar this Sunday feb 23 , we were served by 2 girls bartenders , don't remember their names, both were blonds . Their service was amazing , they recommended the sliders and the Chilean sea bass ! Wow !! Out of this world! Sooo delicious! The fish was perfectly cooked and soooo tasty ! I highly recommend this place !! We will come back again! Thanks for the great service girls :) !!!

Just an amazing place and one of our favorites. We had reservations for 4:45 p.m. We saw Pilar who is beyond special and the general manager. We had a nice chat as we know how busy she is. What a blessing. Brandon was our server extraordinare and what a great person. Professional, kind, knowledgeable and efficient. We started with drinks and my wife had the Mojito and I had Don Julio 1942 on a large rock. We also ordered the coconut shrimp for an appetizer. For our entrees my wife had the Mahi Mahi fish tacos and I had the seasonal lemon pacific sole. Both dishes were awesome and the ambiance terrific and with a positive vibe.The food, staff, ambiance and music are top shelf. Highly recommended.

Came here to celebrate Valentine's Day. They were very busy so we got seated 15 minutes after our reservation time. Service was quick, and our food arrived quickly. We weren't given any complimentary bread, so our meal started off with our appetizers: crab cakes and lobster spring rolls. The crab cakes were large and delicious! They would have been better slightly warmer. The island slaw was yummy, and had some wonton pieces that added a nice crunch. I didn't try the lobster spring rolls, but my bf said they were tasty, but didn't have any crab inside (it's mostly pork). For the entree, I got the Vday special: Lemon Pacific Sole. The fish was soft and tender, but I didn't particularly like the risotto and banana curry butter sauce. The crispy sweet potato on top was yummy. I tried my bf's Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut, and it was also really tender and crispy on the outside.

Was just in here and we got a table because the bar is too cold. To our wonderful surprise we had one of the best servers Carlos. He knows our order, is always so kind and friendly and goes above and beyond to get what we need. We had a horrible day filled with bad Drs appointments and family issues going when we went into Tommy Bahama and having Carlos take care of us made our day so much better. Plus he got our exact food order correct and did so much more just as he always does when we have the pleasure of having him be our server. If you want a great server who will be so kind and attentive I strongly suggest one would request Carlos. Thank you for this enjoyable experience.

Last night (Saturday after Valentine's Day), my husband and I made a reservation for Tommy Bahamas. Those poor staff were SO BUSY!!! The restaurant was full to the brim, and there was no table available at the moment. There were luckily some seats at the bar where could watch the incredible talent of the bartenders, including Brandon and more, making multiple drinks in seconds. Our table was ready before we could close out at the bar, but you have to close out before going to your table, just an FYI, so maybe ask for the check when you order the drink to be safe. Once at our table, we met our server Jeff who was kind and made great recommendations. Only flaw was I had to ask for the complementary bread after the appetizers came out (probably because they were so busy!). Now, the food:Crab bisque (6/10 -- if you like the taste of sour cream, you will like this soup but it was so incredibly bland. They put fresh cracked pepper on top, but it's not enough. Please season it up!!) Coconut shrimp (10/10 -- perfect crispy, savory and sweet! Very satisfying. When food is this good you're always going to want more or for it to be bigger)Ahi tuna tacos (10/10 -- so much flavor! Even the very tiny chopped bell peppers on top brought complex flavor to the dish. Wasabi crema was beyond. This was my husband's favorite) Filet mignon (10/10 -- cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The mushrooms on top really sealed the deal. The mashed potatoes were the best ones I have ever had) Piña colada cake (8/10 -- a little dense I think because parts of the cake a soaked in rum. Really good if you like piña colada, and whipped cream. Yummy, and very big portion which is nice to take home)TLDR:- don't go on a weekend after a holiday, and if you do, make a reservation. - Bartenders amazing -- happy hour at the bar from 3-5pm everyday. - if they don't bring your bread, ask for it (white loaf with sweet butter on the side)- appetizers: get the coconut shrimp and ahi tuna tacos- don't get the crab bisque unless you adore the taste of sour cream. - the ambiance is immaculate -- piece of Hawaii here in cali

We went here a few years back, and we loved their food and service. This time around though, we actually had dinner somewhere else. However... we needed dessert haha. We called ahead and picked up our favorite Pineapple Creme Brûlée. It's a good thing we decided to just have it to go, because the place was packed! We ordered 2 for our family 4. We ate it right away in the car haha. It was very good and refreshing. A nice way to end our evening.

Always delicious and great service here! Just decided to have appetizers before going shopping and both were so good. The scallop sliders are so different with basil and fresh tomatoes. Always order the coconut shrimp with the Asian slaw. Very festive atmosphere with a couple of parties going on and live music in the bar area.

Late post. I went on new years day and was craving the crab bisque. If you have not tried this yet, you are missing out. Hands down the best bisque I've ever had from anywhere. I almost wanted to order a second one. We came in near closing time and we were sat promtly. We were close enough to hear and see the live music as well as right next to the gorgeous Christmas tree. I have fond memories of coming to this restaurant with my grandfather who has since passed away, so Tommy's forever holds a spot in my heart and so does this crab bisque as well. Yes, it is that good!

Our server was excellent, quick, and extremely kind!!! Her name was Andrea. She brought are drinks and water right away. Then followed up with some lovely bread and butter. Lunch included a beet salad , Caesar salad, and some awesome scallop sliders. Give this server raise!!!! We will be back again very soon. Thank you
