    Crab cakes
    Susan B.

    Love when happy hostesses greet and seat you! Even when you have 3 children! Our server is darling as well, plus helpful! The Berry Proper is a great sweet cocktail for the summer! Our honey biscuits with the pimento cheese are amazing! Chose the crab cakes for dinner with asparagus and slaw, such great flavors! The energy in the restaurant is contagious. Lots of room to spread out.

    Tonight was a better night. It was packed on a Saturday. The goat cheese dip never disappoints. For mains the Kona coffee crusted ribeye was solid. It's a traditional full slab of meat and not sliced up as I saw in one picture which I was thankful for. It actually doesn't taste like coffee at all though. Waiter said it's all about the sear. Usually don't do fish but the Chilean sea bass was really good. The texture kinda looked and tasted like a giant scallop. Yum. Love the vibe at this restaurant in general. And the market area is pretty fun to walk around afterwards.

    Coconut shrimp appetizer 1/2 off during Happy Hour!

    We came in on an overcast drizzly day and a yummy creamy cup of Lobster Bisque was just what we needed! We sat in one of their bar area tables and enjoyed the live music too. Our waiter was very attentive and reminded us that appetizers were half off so we ordered the yummy signature coconut shrimp with slaw and a side of biscuits. Everything was devoured. And we had a cocktail too. Super great date night! I needed that! Thank you Tommy Bahamas!

    After enjoying a nice daycation in the Woodlands a friend and I visited Tommy Bahama during Happy Hour. I ordered the margarita, which I believe was $4 off during HH and ordered the Creole Shrimp and Crab Pasta. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size and the amount of meat you get! The service was quick, though sitting at the bar I feel like service is always fairly quick! The bartenders were very attentive and they also have live music! Great place for great drinks, food, and if you want to do a little shopping! Highly recommend!

    It's still one of my favorite restaurants in the area! Drinks, excellent service, and delicious appetizers on a Friday night! Gorgeous weather on the patio! Always best to reserve a table!

    Coconut Cloud Martini

    I cannot believe I've lived in the area for 3 years and this was my first time at Tommy Bahama! I've been missing out!! I came in on a Wednesday night with a group of 5 to celebrate a friend's birthday. I can't speak to the wait time as one of our friends went ahead and got us a table. We were seated in a little back corner (which was perfect for us to celebrate) so I didn't see much of the restaurant, but what I could see was beautiful. I really thought the bar area looked fun and would plan to sit there when I come back. Our waiter, I believe his name was Eric (I hate I forgot because he was so good to us), was incredible. He saw we had a birthday cake and immediately offered to take it to the back fridge for us. He gave good recommendations for drinks and food. I took him up on his drink recommendation and ended up finding my new favorite alcoholic beverage. It's been a couple of days now since I was introduced to the coconut cloud martini and not only have I thought about it every day since, I've also recommended it to everyone I've talked to. I already felt good after one drink, but having two was perfect. It was well worth the money for such a delicious cocktail that also gave such a good buzz. My husband ordered the baja margarita and he felt the same about his drink. He absolutely loved it! For food, we all shared the guacamole and salsa appetizer. The guacamole is chunkier than what I'm used to, but that doesn't take away from how incredible and flavorful it is! I ordered the parmesan crusted chicken but subbed the broccoli for asparagus. My food was awesome! I don't eat seafood, but this restaurant makes me wish I did. Since we had birthday cake, we didn't end up eating any of the desserts. However, the waiter brought out a platter of options to show us and every single one of them looked incredible. I will absolutely be ordering their key lime pie when I come back. I truly cannot wait to come back for date night to have another martini, and to try a steak dish and key lime pie!

    The good was the food and service, but I didn't like where we were seated. It was the section right before outside. Also, we made a reservation and mentioned that it was our anniversary. Although, we were congratulated on our anniversary. There was nothing "special" from the restaurant. Lastly, we have eaten in several restaurants and never have we been told that you only get happy hour at the bar. Why?? Aside from the food which is good, but overpriced for what you get, we probably won't go back.

    Proof of waitlist and timestamp showing 20 minutes had elapsed
    Mister T.

    Walked-in and asked for a table for 2 with no reservations and said we were happy to sit outside or inside, was told by the young man taking my request that the wait time was only 15 minutes. After 20 minutes I observed another walk-in get seated ahead of us (I know this because I was seated in front of the check-in stand and heard their request) as a walk-in who came in five minutes after us. So, I returned to the check-in stand and asked how much longer they thought it would be, to which I was told it would be only about 15 more minutes, at point I proceeded to tell them about the walk-in they seated ahead of me and the young man informed me that they had a reservation and now my wait time would be 30 minutes? Before I could say anything in response, the young lady at the check-in stand proceeded to interrupt and tell me that they had all their wait times wrong and it was now at least 1 hour and 30 minutes wait time for me!!! I told them to remove me from the waitlist and exited the restaurant. He and she were clearly lying because I wasn't 30 feet down the street when I was texted and called by "Jada" at Tommy Bahamas telling me that our table was now ready...

    Steak Frites
    Liz C.

    Food is always good here. No matter what you see on the menu, you really can't go wrong. Service is a hit or miss but they've gotten a lot better on training the new ones. It's typically pretty fast at the bar and on weekends when they plenty of servers to wait on you. The ambiance at Tommy Bahama is like you're just waiting on your next Hawaiian vacation or a tropical cruise. It's cute inside and the patio seating is nice during really nice days. I typically order the hummus platter to start because those tortilla crisps on the side are yummy. Don't know if they still have it but the dips are good here. The lump crab cakes are to die for also! For entrees my party typically orders the crab, steak or pasta options. Their menu changes quite often especially with the seasons but it's always good changes.

    Seafood gumbo with white rice

    Stylish setting with a holiday island vibe. The food is delicious and staff are attentive.

    Sea bass and gumbo.
    Bonnye B.

    I had no idea Tommy Bahama even had a restaurant -- and now I'm obsessed. The food? Absolutely incredible. The service? Spot-on. The atmosphere? Like slipping away to a relaxed island getaway without ever leaving town. If you're craving that perfect blend of island vibes and elevated Americana, this place is a must. I ordered the gumbo and the Chilean sea bass, and both dishes were on another level -- familiar favorites with a fresh, delicious twist. Highly recommend. You'll walk out already planning your next visit.

    Filet mignon salad
    Christina B.

    This restaurant holds a special place in my heart for their filet mignon salad. The dressing is absolute perfection, and enhances the flavor of the steak and greens. I recommend medium rare. The only thing they've changed is the potatoes - the salad used to include roasted potatoes and now has thin, crunchy frites which I pushed off to the side. Get the bread! It's warm and comes with cinnamon butter. Their desserts are also special and large -- coconut pineapple cake, classic key lime pie, and crème brûlée served in a pineapple. Service was very attentive and I requested sitting in the airy garden room.

    Update: Changing to 1*. Restaurant asked me to take the time to send them a private message but then made absolutely no attempt to respond despite a couple of attempts to follow up.

Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

We entered to a friendly staff who sat us immediately. The vibe is very modern with some Mexican influence. We were with another couple and I think they were under the impression that this would be Tex-Mex, but it is not. For drinks I got a Mezcalina, my wife got a normal margarita normally I don't love Mezcal, but was feeling adventurous and this drink did not disappoint, it exploded with flavor and was my favorite drink I have had here. The bar program might be the best of any restaurant in the area, as it should be since they have a speakeasy as well. In my previous trip they brought us complimentary chips and salsa, but the time they brought Mexican hummus and pita. I was initially disappointed, but this was one of the more unique complimentary dishes I have had, and loved it. For starters, we got the TOSTADA CHUTORO, which was a tostada with raw fish and caviar. There were two, and although smaller bites to share, the flavor once again really shined through. I would say this is similar to a ceviche dish with really fresh fish and bright flavors.

Food was good, but I'm not sure if I could consider anything spectacular enough to justify some of the prices. I decided on the Aguachile Wagyu, which was perfectly cooked and paired with charred herbs. Very enjoyable for a small high-protein meal. My friend ordered Tacos de Filete, which she said were, "okay." We also had a few drinks... They were heavy pours. My only complaint is that the tajin-salt rims were more for decoration (smeared across the side of the glass and not very hygienic) rather than for the palette. Worth mentioning: We were never offered any chips or salsa, although I've read reviews where other patrons enjoyed some before their meal. Our server was friendly, but a bit disconnected.... Maybe that was the biggest problem - - the experience was diminished due to lackluster service.

As this is basic Spanish food cooking technique is paramount and current chef clearly does not understand/have skills. The gazpacho was recently overly thick and creamy (more bread and olive oil) and was lacking fresh vibrant vegetable flavor. Plus it wasn't as chilled in past (did they originally use a little bit of ice during pureeing? And now stopped). The paella was a total mess. It arrived soupy with a quarter inch of liquid still in bottom of pan. While not "overcooked " to mushy. The rice was well past al dente. Obviously achieving socarrat was impossible. While yellow it was lacking ANY distinct saffron flavor that it used to have. I also did not notice any threads- have they now gone to powdered saffron and cut back on amount too???? The Torta San Sebastian was still "very good" but it's crust was overcooked and gummy. TBH, it really wasn't that bad and normally I wouldn't comment but given above complaints I feel it is part of a trend. We have been coming here about 4X per year. Will still come back to try Tapas, but again their basic Spanish Tapas require a deft cooking technique- so we'll see how those go. Oh well, As George Harrison wrote in 1970 "All Things Must Pass" This is not an uncommon trend in Mom & Pop places - once successful, staff get hired to replace overworked family and quality deteriorates I kept it at 3 stars because food wasn't terrible nor inedible. Just nothing special. Poorly made average American version of European classics. I am also holding out hope that it gets better- I have to believe other regulars have commented (or did they just quietly stop coming? Which is the worse)
