    What could be better than a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while you eat? The food! Our dinners were outstanding. My wife said it was the best steak she’d ever had, and my daughter said the same about here pasta. All four of our meals were excellent, no one was disappointed. My only complaint is that we were all too full to even share a piece of Hula pie!

    My wife and I went to Tommy Bahama for a late lunch. The person who greeted us upon our arrival was very friendly and welcoming! We were seated and our server came over to our table and also greeted us. My wife got the bungalow salad and cheeseburger sliders which she said were absolutely delicious. I got the Chilean sea bass which was extraordinary. My wife and I try to come to Tommy Bahama Restaurant at least once a week as the food is exceptional and the people who work there are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!
