Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar – Scottsdale

Wasn’t impressed with the food at all. My husband and I dropped over $ 90 on food that was mediocre. Service was horrible, our server never checked on us, and we were sat at a table with no condiments like salt and pepper and no bread basket was given with our soup. (We paid over $ 10 each for our soup.). Food wasn’t bad, but certainly not worth the inflated price. Service and food were both extremely slow and disappointing. Plenty of better restaurants in the area more reasonably priced.

I always enjoy the Tommy Bahama restaurants. They might be a small chain but the do a great job with food quality. Excellent fish tacos, pork sandwich along with other items I enjoy. The service can be hit or miss but overall a great experience.

What a fantastic evening ! I’ll start with our server, Carl ! What an amazing person & waiter, he really was so personable & had great suggestions. The musician was also great for the tropical feeling of the evening. We felt like we were sea side in Key West ! The dinner was also superb. We had bacon wrapped scallops, blue crab and avocado salad, lobster fettuccine, Tahitian limeades and wrapped up the evening with key lime pie ! We will definitely be back !

Ate here with my family. I had the fish tacos which were phenomenal. The beer on tap was solo good. This place caught me off guard considering it’s connected to the clothing store. Great food! Very pleased :)

This place has the location and ambience to be great, but the food limits its potential. The food by no means was terrible, it was simply average and boring. The coconut shrimp needed a little kick and my snapper was somewhat bland. While my fish was paired with excellent sides, but it was presented with the enthusiasm of Bill Belichick in a post game interview. While the food was uninteresting, the service was amazing and my table hammered down some excellent adult beverages as well. The dessert was also exciting. Beyond this the service was outstanding. It is a place with potential, but the food simply lacks.

I have been coming here a few times since my last review, one thing that I can say is that the service has declined. The happy hour prices is what makes me come back, $ 6 for a cocktail in Scottsdale Quarter is very reasonable!

Went here for the first time for a weekend lunch with my Hubby. The ambiance was really nice and we sat upstairs at the bar. First things first, I couldn’t believe they had the keylime pie martini on their menu! It’s a favorite of mine and I’m always looking to see if it’s on the menu… Typically it’s not and if the bartender can make it, it’s usually not that great… So I was excited to see it on their menu here. We both ordered the crab bisque which was to die for… It was perfectly prepared. We were both shocked at how tasty it was! Their bread is really good too, which comes with their homemade cinnamon butter. It was really good with just the right amount of sweetness. I ordered the short rib tacos, which were just ok… They were super fatty so I had to pick around that, but outside of that, it was good and the flavors were there. We’ll definitely go back.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant! It is a favorite for special occasions, business lunches, holidays, and happy hours. Management and staff are genuinely wonderful people, and the restaurant itself is gorgeous with a tropical ambiance truly missed in the desert! Menu is delicious and I am not a dessert person but can never say no to something from their spread. A great escape and place to go when you want to impress a guest!

Excellent steak salad. The only thing missing was my blind date that didn’t show but there was room and a great atmosphere. This is the second Tommy Restaurant I have been to and I’ll keep coming back.

We loved the Tommy Bahama on the Big Island, so we thought we would give this one a try. I would compare it to an Apple Bee’s. Service was extremely slow and the restaurant was dead. Food was mediocre at best. Since there are so many amazing dining options in Scottsdale, I would suggest skipping this one.

Take me away to Tommy Bahamas! Let’s face it, this spot is downright FUN and there’s nothing else like it. From its tropical vibe, beach-​like getaway décor, open space, and breezy spirit – this place puts you at ease and has phenomenal energy. Their concept is truly different and very special.
Apart from that, the service and food are great. Our waitress was vibrant, pleasant, and helpful. I chose a glass of white wine, which was crisp and refreshing. The cinnamon butter for the bread starter was unique and actually too good (I had to seriously refrain from diving into the whole loaf). I ordered the Lump Blue Crab & Avocado Salad for my entrée, which was light and fresh. Finally, for dessert I devoured the Pina Colada Cake (I highly recommend this-​YUM). Not to mention, their dessert platter is so whimsical and festive.
I greatly enjoy coming here and look forward to my next trip!

We walked up to the greeter on the first floor — she seemed to be asleep-​at-​the-​wheel. I think she told us they didn’t have much seating avail on first floor (low talker). But, she then limbered her arm towards the stairs and said something to the effect of «you mite be able to find sumpin’ up there». Well, we thought ‘what the hell’ and climbed the stairs. Arrived at the top and told those greeters we had no reservations but could they seat us? A little silence, some grumbling amongst themselves, next thing you know one of them signaled to follow and walked us to a sweet table. This table was overlooking the Ocean Club (or whatever that place was across the way) and a great sunset! The wall was removed effectively seating us ‘almost’ outside yet in a climate controlled environment.
The drinks (tried a Mai Tai out of the blue — great). The waitress (sorry, forgot her name, she was blonde though LOL) Appetizers scallop sliders were great! Goat cheese was great as well.
4 stars for this: Short rib. Short Rib. Short Rib. Short Rib. Short Rib.
Ahhh…nice view, nice service, nice drinks, kinda pricey, don’t buy the clothes, short rib!

An island paradise in the desert! It’s become our weekly getaway. You’ll find us at our table by the bar. Every time we visit the service is always cool like a island breeze. The menu is island inspired. It’s always one step up from expected. Coconut shrimp, chicken lollipops and artichoke begin the festivities along with mango iced tea. They have my favorite trio of Tequila’s ready to pour! Never sure if in a silver, repo or anejo mood. Ask for Carl at the patio bar. Lunch today will be a chicken sandwich and I think the pineapple cake to finish. Just my favorite place to hang out!

This review is solely for their bar.
I love fruity, tropical cocktails and Tommy Bahama’s never fail to disappoint. Whenever I come here I feel like I am on vacation. They have an awesome Happy Hour – half priced cocktails. The happy hour appetizers that I had were the tacos, coconut shrimps and the 3 dips. All were yummy.

My husband and I stopped in there on a lovely Saturday afternoon.
I must say that the service was FANTASTIC!!!
We didnt even get seated and our server came by and ask us what we wanted to drink. We asked her to recommend a drink and she recommended the Classic Mojito. It was so refreshing and delicious.
We had the Ahi Tuna Tacos which were amazing!!!
Just want to say thank you to everybody at Tommy Bahama for making our Saturday afternoon very enjoyable.

ALWAYS great service with Miro and yummy food! We love it here!!! We love all their dishes. Our favorites are the Char-​grilled Filet Mignon Salad and the Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad. We also love the Crab Bisque and Ahi Poke Napoleon appetizer. But everything we’ve tried here had been delicious, that’s why we keep coming back!

Having a long week of meetings in Scottsdale and needed a place close to my hotel for a simple dinner. Decided to hang out at the bar upstairs and grab a bite.
Dinner began with a key lime martini. It was delicious with a graham cracker rim. When it’s 111 degrees outside an ice cold martini like this one is heavenly.
What followed was an exceptional bowl of a creamy crab bisque. I never expected something this good as I can be a food snob at times. However, the crab bisque here is a solid and undisputed 5 star delight.
For a main course I opted for the avocado crab salad appetizer. It was huge and clearly qualified as a main course, Taste/​texture were perfect and the dressing was light, crisp. I was surprised to have something this good.
The bartender whom took care of us was awesome. The level of service was a solid 5 stars. When I travel to AZ I am typically in Phoenix. However, tonight was an exceptional experience that will bring me back to Scottsdale for more of Tommy Bahama’s delicious cuisine.

Great location!
Tasty food and friendly staff. Blake at the bar was was excellent! Was helpful with explaining things on the menu and was always smiling! Will definitely be back!

Liked this a lot better than I had anticipated! Was afraid there wouldn’t be many vegetarian options, but there were a few that sounded fabulous! I went with my family, we sat inside on the upper level and it was cool, we had reservations. I could see a mountain from my seat which I liked.
Our waiter was good, service was a tad slow but just because it was busy! They gave us each a tiny goat cheese bruschetta and it was delicious. Also gave us bread and this butter to put on it that was cinnamon-​y and very tasty. For my meal I went for an appetizer and got the apple wild mushroom flatbread. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and it was absolutely delicious. I also got a glass of wine and I don’t remember what it was, but I liked it. My sister got a chicken sandwich and it came with these really good huge fries and the sauce they came with was fabulous as well. Everyone loved their food. Only complaint was my sisters basil mint lemonade was almost unbearably sour. We also got a slice of chocolate cake to share for dessert and it was very good, though very rich! This place is pricier than a restaurant is typically go to, but worth it for sure! I’d like to come back.

They really aim for impeccable service here. Nice! Because service can make all the difference in your dining experience. Our waiter was fantastic. He was knowledgable and friendly. And he let us sample several wines until we found the perfect pairing.
I wish he could do something about the flies though. We chose to eat indoors so we could still enjoy the balcony view and manage to escape the bugs and flies outside. It wasn’t his fault but we spent the entire night swatting away all the little buggers despite being indoors. Ugh.
Came here for restaurant week and got to taste their jerk pork. It was fantastic! I should let you know that I was dining with my Jamaican girl friend band she attested that it was seasoned just right. She loved it too. Score! Dessert was great too. The rum cake and the key lime pie were both delicious. Yummy!
The restaurant called me the next day to check on how my meal went. Wow! I haven’t had a customer service follow-​up call in light years. Everything was great. Except for those darn flies. They were out of control.
