Arrived for happy hour during my stay in the Coachella Valley. I was taken back how busy they were since most of the snowbirds had departed in May. Parking is complimentary and there's a complimentary level 2 Tesla chargers available on a first come basis. We started off with coconut shrimp, blackened Mahi Mahi tacos and Stone Ipa beer. We tried an order of cioppino which contained halibut, scallops, shrimp, and mussels. The stew was yummy and went well with the toasted sourdough bread. We ended up finishing with the Pina Colada cake which was solid. Service was prompt and friendly from our waiter considering it was busy and included a large bachelorette party. I'm looking forward to visit another Tommy Bahama soon. read more

I love Tommy Bahama because the food is always SO flavorful and amazing! This time was no different, food was incredible and the pina colada cake was to die for. The only thing keeping me from a 5 star review is the service. Unfortunately it was very bad the night we went. The server wasn't very friendly, didn't ask us if we wanted drinks, took a long to to refill our waters, the wrong food came to the table, and one of our dishes was late because she had forgotten to put it in. Also the food took close to 40 minutes to come to the table. To top it off, when we were leaving she just came and grabbed the receipt. No "thank you for coming or have a good night". For the prices one would expect better service. read more

Always can rely upon Tommy Bahama to feed us well. Unfortunately the table we sat at, the bench seat was off by an inch or 2 which created a bit of a rocky experience but we made it through. Chelian Seabass was a bit salty. Recommend less sauce or sauce on the side so that you can season to taste. also recommend ordering it medium to medium rare. The table loved the filet mignon, fish tacos and crab cakes. I would recommend substituting any tequila for a Mezcal. We ordered all the desserts from mild to richest-pineapple crème brûlée, coconut cake, chocolate pie, Keylime pie. All portioned to take home whatever you don't eat. Insider tip: join their island club and get $10 off your first dining experience. Enjoy! read more

Stopped by Tommy Bahama and had an amazing experience. The coconut shrimp was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, and paired with the sauce it was absolutely delicious. The sea bass was another highlight. Cooked just right, flaky and fresh, with seasoning that really enhanced the natural flavor of the fish. Every bite was enjoyable and left me wanting more. Service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. Definitely a place I would return to for both the food and the overall experience. read more

I love this place... the ambience is just different... low key but always so comfortable... went with a good friend before some retail therapy and had a wonderful time thanks to my friend and our super server DAISY!! Great service food and time. read more

Stopped in for a drink after dinner across the street. We got seated quickly. Ordered a gin martini- BF disappointed since there was ice in the martini which diluted the drink. Ordered a Ginger Island - non alcoholic - too sweet for me. Place was busy but likely not coming back. read more

Love this store. Beautiful shirts for both men and women. Excellent customer service from Tom, helpful and friendly. So many choices, so little time. read more

*Tommy Bahama Come on Pretty Mama* I have reviewed TB on El Paseo at their main Yelp page. But when I noticed they have a 2nd listing with much less activity, I figured I'd chime here too, for a family birthday dinner shared by me & my wife. Can't really go wrong with this TB location. The food is always outstanding and consistent, and their service is usually top-notch with a cherry-on-top. My favorite thing here is their full rack of grilled babyback ribs. Some of the best anywhere. Soft & tender and fall off the bone. The ribs are seasoned with a Jamaican jerk rub, rounded off with one-of-a-kind blackberry brandy BBQ sauce. Trust me, it works and tastes just as good the day after -- which is why you must order a full rack for only $9 more than a 1/2. I enjoy their mojitos, when someone bartending knows what they're doing. Mojitos is an art-form, and most places don't serve them because of not having the proper ingredients (such as fresh mint leaves) I love their Malted Chocolate Pie/Cake/Torte (whateva ya wanna call it) for dessert. This decedent tasty treat is just as great the next day too. All the above is Captain Fantastico, and one of my favorite meals when I choose to stir away from my clean healthy eating lifestyle. Twice in the past 2 years I've been asked to pick anywhere in the Coachella Valley to go for dinner. Both times I chose TB's due to all the above...and no-brainer decisions because I was craving the best BabyBack ribs I've eaten anywhere, in a long time. In case you're wondering or care? Tony Roma's back in the day was my old-school fave. More recently Houston's/Hillstone. Been going to a few other TB locations for the past 25 years, and rarely had an issue that'd cause me not to return. My only constant complaint is they don't take reservations. But that seems to be the norm with most mid to higher-range corporate chains such as Cheesecake Factory, Hillstone (Bandera, Houston's, R+D Kitchen) and Yard House (Darden Restaurant) Yes Tommy Bahama is a "corporate chain" but they're one of the very best within their space, and they're an extremely well-oiled machine, with a cool & comfy Polynesian theme & vibe. {{{Big~High~Five}}} Walk-off Grandslam Lifetime Fan read more

Always a good time and never a bad meal! The seasonal item- hot biscuits were amazing! The Coconut Shrimp were amazing as always. Jumbo shrimp not tiny ones like other places. Fish tacos were delicious. The crab salad was light and clean with a generous amount of crab if you are trying to be healthy. The key lime pie was as good as the ones we had in Key West! read more

Went for dinner with friends and we all absolutely loved our food and drinks. It started off on not a great note as we put our name down and they said it'd be a 30 minute wait, only to learn they typed our number wrong and we almost missed getting a table before it closed as they never contacted us. However once we let them know we had been waiting they seated us and we had the kindest and funny female server. We started with drinks, where she recommended a coconut martini that was one of the best I've ever had. We also got the lobster spring rolls which were delicious and wish there was more of them. We also got a burger and fries which was cooked perfectly and the fries were so good and perfectly cooked as well. We had a great time and really loved the restaurant. While the prices are really steep, the quality of the food was incredible. read more

I ordered the mango chicken and it was uncooked. Actually the manager ( person who came over) came to my table and said she spoke to the Chef and we did give you raw chicken and they weren't apologetic. They didn't care and I can't believe you would sell a raw product and not be overly concerned about it.. read more

Came here for lunch with my mom on a Monday. We got seated outside and the weather was perfect. Service was quick and they got us the food out right on time. Felt like we hardly waited. I got the coffee crusted steak which was very juicy and flavorful. The broccoli that comes with it is now my new favorite way to eat broccoli. It was charred just a bit and had a garlic lemon sauce. Delicious!! Mom got a special that was going on that day. Chicken with veggies, and it just needed a touch of salt and pepper but presentation was beautiful and taste was great. Both our plates were very filling. And we felt very happy with the ambience was beautiful with lots of natural lighting. Will be coming back for sure!! read more

Got a nice shirt and delicious meal along with amazing cocktails each location in the palm desert area are fun to visit.

Been to this location dozens of times over the years, and should have previously reviewed it, but never got around to it. Previously I would have given it 4 stars based on the taste of the food, but our most recent trip was lackluster. Everything we ordered was bland. It seems like they changed chefs since our last visit. The coconut shrimp used to have so much flavor and now had no seasoning. The sea bass used to have a Latin taste to it, but now tasted more like creole seasoning. Even the chocolate mud pie wasn't as amazing as it previously had been. Plus they got rid of some of their classics, like the plantains. Super bummed at the change in quality. Will spend my money elsewhere next time. read more

I stopped in here randomly on my way through town back home from San Diego because I was randomly craving some fish tacos and I had once been here to the location Las Vegas and I wanted to see if the consistency was spot on and I'm telling you they do not miss a beat. Everything was delicious again my drink my food, the dessert, the tacos they have true consistency in the quality of their food and I am completely sold for life, but don't forget after you eat the fish tacos. You have to smell your fingers and say oh Tommy. read more

I had such a great a great first experience. Our server Kara was fantastic. She gave great drink and food suggestions and had such a positive uplifting attitude. I would love to meet more severs as attentive as she was. I look forward to coming back. I'm new to the area and she gave many suggestions on what to see and do in the desert. Thank you so much for the wonderful time Kara. The entire family will be back to see you soon. read more

On a girls trip and made a point to visit the restaurant for happy hour. Because they have a rooftop and coconut shrimp. BUT you can only do happy hour INSIDE at the bar. No exceptions. Of course in Palm Springs you want to sit outside. So we did. And we paid full price vs the HH pricing. I wish they would empower their people to extend the HH deal to the patio. We had coconut shrimp, scallop sliders, and tasty cocktails. Food was great and the service was great. Just really stuck on the HH thing and we probably won't go back because of that. Restaurants should consider that when they make 'rules'. read more

This is the best place to pop into for a quick cocktail and snack. Food is reliable, tasty and drinks are solid! Recommend!

I love Tommy in Newport Beach. This one not so much. I had a Maitai and it was not good. It had some floating stuff in it. The server said it was probably pineapple. Newport's was always perfect. I tried another one just to see if maybe it was just a bad one but it was just as bad. The coconut shrimp was so so. We got the fish tacos which were good but now they only serve 2 instead of 3. read more

Ive been coming here for years, though I find the food to be decent, the ambiance is great. Location is super convenient, super easy walk if you are nearby. If you aren't going for the ambiance/drinks, you are better off going to any of the local restaurants on el paseo. read more

Great location! Food is always fantastic along with the service. Can't go wrong any time of day or night for a drink or meal!

We sat at the bar, arriving around 12:30. There were plenty of bar seats available, but the outdoor dining area was full. Within 30 minutes the bar was full also. Mikey, our bartender, was fantastic. Pleasant, friendly and attentive. The Cuban sandwich was excellent. We ordered one to split, and they did the split in the kitchen, and delivered our sandwiches and fries on 2 plates. Classy. The meat was tender and flavorful. The NA wine, Giesen Sauvignon Blanc, was quite good and reasonable at $10. Even from the bar, the view of the mountain is spectacular. read more

Tommy Bahama - 1/2 of the Cuban, easy to share. Excellent. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Nice beach vibes restaurant which is why I believe it is so popular. The acoustics are a bit noisy inside but it was too chilly for outside seating. The food was good but pricey-I had the wagyu beef dip for I believe 30 dollars-would have been way less at a diner. It was served like diner food with fries. One of us ordered the roast beef salad and said that was very good as was a fish dish so maybe I just picked the wrong entree. I think next time we will just come here for the lunch menu and or drinks. read more

Great place, really enjoyed the food / drinks and of course shopping downstairs afterwards.

Absolutely fabulous! Steak salad at the bar. Their steak salad is one of the best I have had. Their food quality is always high and delicious. Very upbeat, nice atmosphere and all staff work as a team and are delightful. Our bartender/waiter was top notch, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by for happy hour. My oh my, the mahi tacos were a delight, mouthwatering, delicious. I definitely recommend.

This was an epic disaster. I've never gone out to dinner and not been served food. Had a reservation for 7:30. Off-season Saturday night. Semi busy in my opinion. Waited a bit to order drinks... no biggie. Waited 30 minutes before ordering food. Seasonal appetizer, ran out. Okkk. Not off to a great start so far. Order steak, salad, fish and burgers. Normal menu items. People at tables to each side of us, sit AFTER US and order AFTER US. 8:30 no food. It's coming right out they say. Other tables get their food. 8:50 no food. 9:00 no food. They close at 9. Ask for manager or someone 3 times. No one ever came. Went to front desk to ask what is happening. I offered to pay for drinks and speak to manager... 5 people huddled around trying to make a decision. They just said we could leave and not pay for drinks and the one shrimp appetizer my kids ate. That was a first. Not being offered any other food. Appetizers. Nothing. Just leave after 1:45 minutes hanging out at our table. Happy birthday to my wife. Is customer service still a thing? Apparently not . We made the best of it, and drove to a nearby Ice cream store. Ice cream for dinner with the wife and kids. I guess Tommy Bahama in Palm Springs is NOT like the Tommy Bahama we loved in both Kauai last year and Waikoloa a few years ago which were wonderful. Crazy read more

Waiting over a hour and fourth five minutes to get our food only to be told that there's still 2-3 more orders ahead of us. It's just plain wrong all of our drink have literally melted. Had to ask for ice 3 times. Total waste of time and money. Management definitely needs to step it up. read more

Went here tonight, while on vacation. Server was friendly, food was good. My daughter accidentally left her "to-go" container behind, which contained half a hamburger and a full plate of fries. When we returned THREE MINUTES later, we approached the front desk to inquire about it, and the hostess said "We threw it out." I asked, "Are you absolutely sure?" She said, without apology, "Yes, I helped clean the table." You'd think they would've saved it for 5 minutes. My daughter (who has autism) was crushed, and as we turned to leave, another hostess handed us a card that she said was "good for a future appetizer." When we got back to the condo where we're staying, we looked at the card, and it said EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, 2025. (In other words, two months ago). Thanks a lot, Tommy Bahama! read more
