    This place is always a fun spot to stop by when visiting Palm Springs! I sat in the bar and waited for my friends to arrive and had a drink while waiting. The servers are attentive and friendly and service was fast. The ambiance is open-air and coastal with nice decor. We ate lunch on the outside patio and Peter was our server; he was also friendly and very attentive. We shared the coconut shrimp with mango sauce and coleslaw, the guacamole and salsa served with fresh chips. We tried the grapefruit/vodka drink, but the spicy margaritas were our favorites!

    I love going to Tommy Bahamas because every time you come here the food is going to be amazing and they never miss. But the one thing I have noticed is the service at the Palm Desert location on El Paseo is not as good as the service in the Palm Springs location. Coming into the Palm Desert location we walked up to the host stand and two girls didn't even greet us. They just looked at us and took our name and phone number and said that they would put us on a waitlist no smile or warm welcoming. On the other hand our server a nice lady seemed to be training a new hire as she was explaining him how to take the order and showing them how to place discounts on the app. We sat outside as well and it was very nice and loved the live music too. One thing that also happened was I set up my app and got a $10 off coupon and they said they would apply it and once I got the check and paid; it was never applied. I am not sure what had happened. I will definitely be back here. I just hope the service improves at the host stand with friendlier hostesses.

    Cioppino.

    This time around, Tommy Bahama in Palm Desert delivered on both food and service. Our group of 8 was seated a few minutes before our reservation, and it just kept getting better. Drink orders were taken and the drinks delivered, followed by food orders. It was great that all 8 meals came out at once, so no ackward wait for a few dishes to come out. The food was quite good and fit the island theme close enough. The Cioppino was fantastatic, with really nice muscles, clams, fish, and a spicy tomato broth. Two more wedges of toasted bread would have been nice, but with or without, this dish was 5 stars.

    Love those coconut shrimp, especially with the Happy Hour price! We arrived early for the Happy Hour at Tommy Bahamas and were greeted by a friendly chorus of hellos from the sales staff in the Tommy Bahama store. We walked up the stairs to the restaurant and put our names in at the desk, then waited at a comfy couch! We were texted on the phone just minutes after, and shown to a patio seat. But we learned that the Happy Hour treats were only available for indoor seating, so we opted to eat inside. A lively personable and "new" waitress greeted us immediately and took our drink orders. She also kindly explained the Happy Hour, which features a few bites like beef or pork belly sliders, and Mahi Mahi tacos. It also features all the regular appetizers at $4.00 off the regular price! Our waitress returned with our beverages, which were a lovely Mark Taylor Russian River Sauvignon Blanc for me and a sprightly mix of ginger and lime in a Mocktail for my husband! I love the dry taste of Sauvignon Blanc and am now getting very specific about which region it comes from. We ordered a beef slider and a pork belly slider for my husband and the coconut shrimp and lobster spring rolls for me. It was a bit of a wait until the food came out, but well worth it! The coconut shrimp was as succulent as ever! The shrimp themselves are high quality and the coconut adds just the right touch of nuttiness to the seafood. I am always transported to the islands when I eat this dish! My husband's pork belly slider was perfectly cooked with a generous amount of pork! We enjoyed the busy ambience of the room and we're tempted by the offer of Keylime pie, but we will save that for our next visit!

    The frozen Mai Tais are always amazing! The server was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The baby back ribs were delicious and fell off the bone, the Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut was delicious as always! The coconut shrimp is a must! There can be a wait for a table, so put your name in early! This place is very popular! Their bar is also great to sit and relax! They have a great Happy Hour everyday from 3-5pm! Aloha!

    Festive. If you eat outside, be careful of the birds. They are poised and ready to swoop in. Chilean sea bass buttery. Blood orange margarita tasty and refreshing.

    We went to Tommy Bahama on El Paseo on a Wednesday night at 5:30. We waited for about 45 minutes and were seated outside. I haven't been to this restaurant for a long time so I was impressed by the outdoor patio build out they have now. Heaters and fans are both available above the tables plus some louvered shades. We ordered the Lamb Skewers as a starter, they were tasty although the meat was ground, and they were smaller than expected. The sauce and cucumber salad were nice accompaniments. For Entrees we ordered coconut shrimp and chicken tortilla soup, lump blue crab and avocado salad, and filet mignon salad. The coconut shrimp was good, while not very coconut forward, the salads were both phenomenal with very unique flavors, although the favorite was the lump crab salad. The caper lime vinaigrette was delicious! One disappointment- as of November they no longer have bread and their cinnamon butter.

    Here for a visit and stopped for dinner. The coconut shrimp ahi tuna tacos were the best items we ordered. We got the coconut cloud and pineapple crème brûlée for dessert.

    Chicken and Mango Salad

    My wife and I had a nice lunch at Tommy Bahamas. They have a covered outdoor patio that shelters well from the sun and wind. There's a lot to choose from on the menu, plus a lot of great looking cocktails. My mango and chicken salad was very good, and our crab cake appetizer was also tasty. I'd love to come back for happy hour. Cocktails and appetizers would make a great little treat.

    Went on a busy Saturday night to celebrate a birthday but didn't have to wait too awful long. We enjoyed a couple mai tais from the bar while we waited around 30 minutes for a table for two. We sat outside on the giant patio and although it was chilly there's plenty of heaters and it was comfortable. The server was great and very attentive. My lump blue crab cakes were spectacular served with asparagus and some island slaw and my sister really enjoyed her baby back pork ribs with slaw and mashed potatoes. We were pretty full so we took home a slice of key lime pie to enjoy later. I wish I had taken some pictures but didn't really think about it at the time.

    Went to have lunch today. It was a 20 to 30 minute wait. It was very packed for lunch. So we decided to sit at the bar. I was surprised they didn't have the patio open considering it was a nice 90° day. We were definitely looking forward to sitting out there. The bartender was attentive and service was very quick. My Apreol Spritz was perfect! He suggested the coconut shrimp, and it was very good, but the coleslaw it came with was amazing! So flavorful and fresh. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, which was very good, but I couldn't finish it after I Bit into a bone! which cut the inside of my mouth and thankfully didn't crack my very pricy crown. My daughter ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was very good. She ended up giving me half of her sandwich. I've never had a bad experience there, but I know I won't be ordering the Cuban sandwich again. Great place to eat, I wish they would offer reservations at this location. All in all a wonderful experience every time!

    How close are the hotels? Any walking distance?

    El Paseo Hotel is across the street and it's quite nice. Tommy Bahamas store is on the first level and the restaurant is on the second level in the main shopping complex.

    Is Happy Hour every day even weekends?

    Yes 3-5 pm daily in the bar only

    What's on the dessert menu?

    I don't think there's an actual "set dessert menu." What they do is bring out a tray of 5-6 samples of the different selections of the day. Not sure how often they rotate the items.… Read more

    How do I make a reservation?

    They do not take reservations... it gets slammed but they do a good job moving people in and out.

    Are small dogs allowed?

    I have been there many times and have not seen a dog outside. Since the entry is not outside I would think dogs would not be allowed as they would have to pass through the lobby to get to the outdoor space.

    Is happy hour bar area kid friendly?

    Yes, I saw really well behaved kids sitting right at the bar last time. However, they also have tables in the bar area for happy hour. Hopefully your kids are well behaved. Last time I was at a deli and a couple let their 2 year old screech at the… Read more

    Is reservation needed?

    Highly recommended. Place is busy all the time. If you don't have a reservation you might wait for the table 20,30 min

    Is there a happy hour?

    Yes, 3-6 or 7, M-F

    Are there any vegan options?

    The Roasted Season Vegetables are delicious and there are a few other salads to choose from.

    Is the outside patio dog friendly?

    The patio at palm desert is on the second level and only accessible through the restaurant so sadly it is not dog friendly but I've been to Tommy's new Marlin Bar in Palm Springs and that patio is dog friendly. The Marlin bar is a paired down, fast… Read more

Lively, diverse, energized full of bright faces that bring light to the dimly lit space. Service was stellar - attentive, on it, anticipated needs/preferences before they were even addressed. A quick anecdote, the waitress made PROACTIVE decisions knowing I am Vegan, not just reactive - a rare thing outside of high dining restaurant. Red wine flight included a fantastic Cab & Cab Reserve, and a "very good" Pinot...and that's coming from a person who does not drink Pinot. I didn't care for the blend but then again I never care for a blend as it is. Food was "American" style tapas - small plates of well crafted foods ranging from flatbread pizza to meatballs to vege pockets and (for me) a "Vegan Stack" composed of rice, mango, avocado, and a delicious spicy mayo. Tiramisu dessert disappeared in all of 20 seconds, well plated and beautifully crafted.

It clearly caters to a sophisticated crowd--very similar in vibe to their Calabasas location. While parking is accessible in the rear, it can get congested during peak season. The menu is extensive with plenty of excellent selections, though the pricing is definitely premium. For instance, a Cobb salad topped with fish can easily exceed $45; while the quality is high, that's a significant jump over nearby staples like Daily Grill. Service was friendly but lacked consistency; our server disappeared mid-meal without a hand-off, requiring us to flag down other staff. Overall, it's a bright, airy, and stylish spot well worth a visit, provided you're prepared for the 'luxury' price point.
