    We had another very enjoyable lunch at Tommy's. Always a good choice. This time around we enjoyed the char grilled filet mignon salad and we shared. Along with their wonderful warm baked bread it was more than enough for two people. We also got power favorite Pina. Colada cake as a dessert but decided to take it home with us to enjoy later. Another very wonderful dining experience at tommy bahamas. Our server, Greg, was very attentive and made a good suggestion for me to try a new beer on tap. It was also very enjoyable.

    What a nice and pretty place! I really enjoyed having breakfast here. My only disappointment is that outdoor seating was not available when I came for breakfast. I specifically wanted outdoor seating and made reservation that way. If it was not available, advanced notice would be greatly appreciated. Other than that, the food was good for the price but not the best I’ve had. This would’ve been a five star experience if we could sit outside.

    Loves every minute of our visit to MonkeyPod. Seated immediately on the side patio. Jess greeted us and brought us 3 Mai tais and a whiskey sour - delicious! Then we shared a Gem Salad and a Brocli Salad - both delicious but the Brocli was so unique we all agreed it was the best. Fish Tacos, Fish and Chops and Macademia Nut encrusted Mahi Mahi we all excellent but my Rib Eye was over the top. Cooked to perfection. We had a bottle of Tempranillo which paired well with everything and topped it all off with Banana Cream pie. Would recommend the entire meal all over again. Jess was an excellent waitress!
