    Excellent service by Patrick. Nice enough setting, live guitarist. Decent (but not great) food. Going solo tonight, I got two glasses of nice wine, a decent ahi appetizer (with the exception of the avocado mix under the fish - which was weirdly old looking and tasting), and a good shrimp dish (minus the risotto which half of the dish and tasted pretty ... blah .... but I ate it all though as I was starving and just needed food in my belly), cost about $100.

    Had the chicken and fish tacos. Enjoyable but nothing too special that makes.me want to go back. Good fun atmosphere.

    Great food amazing service! Evelyn was our waitress she was awesome, she checked on us frequently. I wasn't pleased with the dish I order and she happily returned it. The chef even came out to see what it was I would like instead. I would definitely recommend this place

    Always one of my favorite places to visit. The service has always been outstanding and the vibe is pure Hawaiian. Never had a meal that I didn't enjoy. Little speedy, but your on vacation!

    HH!!! Kihei has some pretty delis Happy Hours even at night! This is one of them! Head over to this joint! The staff is friendly, the ambiance is very feel good, the Happy Hour food is delicious! We had the fish tacos which was more than enough to eat. Topped that off with some fried plantains with pina colada dip! mmm mmm does a belly good!

    I wouldn't normally think that eating at a restaurant located in a shopping center would be particularly special, but kudos to the setting and food at Tommy Bahama's! With regard to setting, the restaurant is attached to the shop, and personally I find the overpowering smell of candles wafting in from the shop to be less than ideal. The solution? Ask to be seated on the lanai when you make your reservation. It's much quieter out there (away from the bar), there was a guitar player/singer in the evening, and no smell of candles! The lanai was calm and pleasant. I have eaten at all of the major resort restaurants in Wailea and I would say the seafood at Tommy Bahama's was just as good. The portions were a little larger, but the flavors and preparation were perfect. My husband and I shared the ahi tacos for an appetizer. Yum! I had the macadamia nut crusted opakapaka for my entree, and my husband had a mahi mahi special. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious. We also split the smaller size key lime pie for dessert. That was a bit of a let down: not too much key lime flavor and lots of whipped cream. It tasted like a rich custard. But, the seafood was excellent and the service was friendly. I would definitely return. One small note, my husband has some health-related dietary restrictions. Normally we've had no problem if we ask for item A on the menu prepped in item B's fashion. That was a no-go at Tommy Bahama's. The opakapaka was all pre-prepped (i.e., crusted with the macadamia nuts), so he couldn't get that fish, but with the mahi mahi prep. Not a huge deal, but a small difference compared to other restaurants we've been to on the island that could make a difference to you if you have allergies and need to navigate menus carefully. I'd say this was a 4.5 star experience. The restaurant lacks a view, and there's a lot of noise and sickly-sweet candle smell if you get seated inside, but the food was quite good and the lanai very pleasant.

    Interesting concept to be eating in a mall and inside of what feels like a store. Food was on point! My husband and I shared a bunch of appetizers and it was more than enough. Menu items you must order: Ahi Poke Lollipop chicken Beet and arugula salad Martinis were tasty and mixed to perfection! We are still talking about this place long after our vacation.

    I love your baby back ribs. They are very tasty and tender. But you put way to much sauce on it. You also have wifi with some restaurants don't have. Your food is very tasty and very fresh. The manager is very accommodating. The last time I went to Tommy Bahamas I ordered the steak medallions cooked medium plus. I really enjoyed it but it was overlooked. I told the manager about it and he said he would remake it and since they didn't get it right the first time, he gave it too me for free! Now that is accommodation. They cooked the second one perfectly.

    My husband and I dined here while we were staying at the Marriott Wailea for our honeymoon. We had a number of fancy, expensive meals on our trip & were looking for something a little more relaxed. We had a great experience at Tommy Bahamas! They sat us right away on the outdoor balcony, where perfectly soft live music was playing. We ordered the Ahi Tuna tacos which were amazing. I had the grapefruit & basil martini and he had a Mai Tai, both delicious. Don't skip out on the bread they offer! Crab bisque...to DIE for!!! Must get!! During our meals, Chad the manager stopped by. We mentioned that we were honeymooning and he immediately told us a few things would be coming our way. He delivered champagne & strawberries to our table and said "All honeymooners should toast at dinner", he also gave us a dessert on the house. We were very impressed, as this is a chain restaurant, and it unexpectedly turned into one of our favorite meals in Maui!

    After my bad experience at Ko (see my review) we went straight here because I was still hungry, The service was amazing from the host to the waitress Kathy. The food was terrific. Got the scallop sliders, fish tacos and lobster bisque. The atmosphere was very happy and bright compared to the gloomy Ko. This is how a business should be managed. I think just as Ko reflects their bad management, Tommy Bahamas shows good management.

  • Food S.

    Food: So-so. Overpriced but without soul. Tastes like Mall food. Location: Convenient to walk from several Wailea hotels. Service: Aloha speed Ambience: Outdoor dining is nice. But again, don't expect great food.

  • Khoi L.

    Not being a fan of the clothing line, we didn't think much of the restaurant. Finally decided to try it because of hearing about the dessert and proximity to hotel. Extremely pleasantly surprised! Had the macadamia crusted snapper and ribs. Both were spectacular. We also had scallop slider for appetizer which was very good. Ate so much, ended up not having room for dessert. What was extremely delightful was our server Nirvana from Kauai. Sweet as can be...and gave us a wonderful experience. Our new fav pricier restaurant.

    We are staying in Wailea for a wedding last night at the Four Seasons so we've seen some beautiful properties and eaten great food this week but Tommy Bahama's food and service were as good or better than any we encountered. I'd never been to any of their restaurants before but I manage some spots in SD and Orange County and see the Laguna Beach location every time I pull into town to check on our spot around the corner on Ocean Ave. We tried to book a reservation through yelp at a couple spots but it was Saturday night and every place seemed booked including T.B. so I called just to see what the chance of walk-in would be. The host was friendly and after a quick hold she said she could take us and took my name. We arrived and they were quick to seat us at a table on the patio right near a great solo guitarist who was not overwhelming but kept good energy playing John Mayer and Jack Johnson type music throughout dinner. We ordered a couple crab cakes as an app and Pellegrino from our server Delisa (awesome, friendly...) who told us about the specials and her favorite items from the menu we also picked chicken fingers for my 4 yr old who can be challenging to say the least. Crab cakes were very good though a bit small for the price. Milo loved the chicken strips which seemed to have maybe a tempura batter which made them super light and crispy. For our entrees my wife had the Shrimp & Scallops with almond rice which were cooked perfectly and as delicious as any I've had (I say I've had because I always finish her food) anywhere. I had the Ribeye steak which came with warm potato salad and what I'd describe as an arugula salad that had a lemon vinaigrette. The steak was perfectly cooked to med rare with a Kona coffee crust or something which just kicked it up a notch. I would return to this spot again tomorrow night if it wasn't her turn to pick.

  • Kristi M.

    Can't go wrong with the TB happy hour. I went on two separate nights and was equally impressed. We tried the ahi poke with flatbread, the macadamia but encrusted goat cheese, and the sliders. All delicious! Also loved the strawberry basil martini as well as the pineapple martini. Staff is friendly and made my 8 year old a fun fancy smoothie complete with an orchid. Apps aren't really of the sharing size unless you get several.

    Not impressed. Food was very so so for the price. Service was slow and at lacked the attention one expect 30 to 40 for an entree

  • Jennifer R.

    First of all, it is NOT a $$ restaurant, this should really get updated to $$$. That being said, food was good, and our waiter was attentive and helpful making recommendations. I enjoyed the special, Opakapaka, served over risotto. The fish was quite tasty and cooked perfectly, but the risotto was a little undercooked (it's not supposed to be crunchy, right?!) this dish alone was $40, hence the $$$ recommendation. My three kids had kids meals, which they enjoyed but it would be nice to have a choice of sides rather than a mountain of fries only. The ahi poke tacos were great, the grilled artichoke was also very good but quite oily and messy to eat (I had to constantly wipe my fingers!). I was very excited about the butterscotch pudding dessert, served in a glass lined in chocolate ganache, but it really was kind of bland and without flavor. Ambience was very nice, outdoor balcony with live music playing. However they really must do something about the lighting outside! Unless you have a light directly over your table (and many don't), it's really tough to read the menus. Overall, reasonably good food, good service and nice ambience. Just be prepared to pay $35-$60 per person.

    After shopping for a while the wife and I were hungry and decided to give this place a try. Was hoping it was not like Elephant Bar or the like. I had the ahi flatbread and she had the chicken sandwich. Both were excellent and I would definitely come back. I rate this place a little higher than Monkey Pod.

    Great experience, our server Luke was very attentive and knowledgeable. We went for happy hour and it exceeded our expectations. Will be back for sure!

  • Amy K.

    Not good for take-out after a long day of traveling and food was just okay, but like most places it probably would have been better eating in the restaurant rather than take out. They did have friendly bartenders for happy hour and had two drinks for a great price and we couldn't have been happier with that! It was located at the Shops at Wailea and the menu is more expensive than expected since this is in a touristy part of Wailea, but it served it's purpose and we were able to get a meal that was filling. I'm not so certain I would return, but they had some good drinks!

  • Michelle L.

    Great location near nicer hotels and shopping. They have a nice Hawaiian vibe with good live music. I really appreciated the great wine list which can be hard to find in Hawaii! I usually love artichokes but, ours was WAY undercooked and over spiced, bummer! Our fish was very good. The bartender was super nice (I forgot his name but, I heard him say he worked there 7+ years. That's a good sign.) We will be back.

    Food and service is great. Portion sizes, at least for their appetizers, are small based on price. Maybe their happy hour prices are better but they have, and this is a direct quote from our waiter, "the earliest happy hour on the island." (2-5). We arrived at 6:15. I thought Tommy Bahamas was expensive for family dining. My daughter and I had 2 appetizers each. I had one beer and she had a soda, we walked out paying $80 with tip. That seems high to me considering the night before we ate at the Elephant Bar in Emeryville near Oakland, had multiple appetizers, I had a couple of cocktails and dessert and paid about $40. My guess, for a family of four, you'll spend close to $200 if you order off the main menu. But if you're staying in Wailea, you probably have money to throw around and feel like you're getting a great deal. If you put a dollar amount on customer service and food flavor, then yeah I guess it's worth it. Otherwise, I would go someplace less spendy. But I'm guessing that's hard to find around Wailea.

    Over the last 5 or so years I've eaten here for lunch and they have great salads. I've also had the happy hour drinks and appetizers and it has been consistently good and reliable. This week my friend and I had dinner and we both loved our entrees and the service was very welcoming and professional. I will now put them on the list for a good dinner with local ingredients.

  • William B.

    Interestingly enough, the food we enjoyed the most weren't their featured items. They rave about the coconut shrimp appetizers...but they tasted frozen and not especially good. But the blackened Mahi Reuben sandwich was exceptional!! Similarly the Cuban sandwich was excellent as well. My wife had to ask for some extra mustard for a little extra flavor, but still really good. Our kids enjoyed the barbecued ribs and Caesars salad. The biggest concern was the price tag for essentially nice tasting Bar Food. But this is Maui, so just expect it and just try and overlook that.

  • Cassie A.

    We went into Tommy Bahama to grab a quick drink and appetizer before moving to another restaurant for dinner and were pleasantly surprised at just how good everything was. We ordered the pork quesadillas, and HIGHLY recommend them. They were fantastic!! After our appetizer, our waiter brought out the dessert try. Holy. Cow. At that point in the night, we knew we would have to come back for their dessert. The next night we went back for another round of the appetizer and dessert. The pineapple creme bruele was out of this world. It is baked into a hollowed out pineapple, with pineapple chucks in the bottom. If I could have ordered another without feeling bad about it I would have. It was amazing!!

  • Jalissa N.

    Awesome dinner here! I had the Parmesan crusted chicken and it was great! We had a group of 10 of us and they were very accommodating for all of our needs. It took a while to get our food but we understand that because we had a large group. The drinks were great, the food was awesome, and some people got dessert which they said was to do die for. If you have room for dessert-- try to key lime pie! If you're looking for a great meal & great service, I would suggest coming here!

    I could not be happier with Tommy Bahama's! I just returned home from a vacation in Maui for my sisters wedding. We were fortunate enough to have her wedding reception at Tommy Bahama's (4/15/14). We were seated on the balcony for an exclusive party of close to 30. We had dedicated wait staff to help us with anything we needed, and they were phenomenal (Michael & Andy I believe). Our party could not stop raving about the food! The scallop sliders (appetizers) are my absolute favorite. Carole from TB helped us arrange everything before we arrived in Maui and was so responsive and helpful. Its difficult to plan a wedding from a few thousand miles away, having never been to the location - but she made the whole process stress free. Chad, the manager, frequently stopped by to check on us. The whole staff, ambiance, and of course the Chefs!, helped give my sister such a wonderful wedding to remember. I went to many other restaurants in the area during that trip, and i felt like I was inconveniencing the staff by being there. But Tommy Bahamas truly cared about making the night very special, and all other aspects of their service and food matched that caliber as well.

  • Darrell K.

    My rating is for the store and not the restaurant. really like Tommy Bahama brand. Really. I really don't like their prices. Then you come into Hawaii and realize that you can get high quality aloha shirts much cheaper than Tommy Bahamas. Having said that, I like walking in, checking it out, and then leaving without a purchase. C'mon TB, give the regular consumer a more affordable product.

  • DomnHaley A.

    We sat at the bar on this visit and a really nice bar tender served us. She wore glasses and I think her name was Lisa. She poured us the best Mai tai ever! Coconut shrimp was amazing and the ahi tacos were tasty! Good energy at the bar and a nice option out of the hotel.

  • John Z.

    Lovely restaurant. The artichoke appetizer was perfectly done. A little messy if you eat it right but well worth it. The ahi with pita chips appetizer was also very good which they can make gluten free. My wife and I spilt the bungalow salad and that was very good. We split the big ribeye which was tasty. We waited quite a while for the GF desert to show up but that was the only negative I could offer. $158 for the two of us was a bit more than one should expect to pay.

    This place was awesome! The staff was so fun and friendly, and I'm pretty sure that my ahi salad was the best I've ever had...ever! Truly delicious. I will crave that for a long time! The manager was very sweet, and said that they would get me a dessert for my birthday. Our waiter brought out my DELICIOUS key lime pie with a candle that he struggled to light in the wind. Overall, the whole experience was great and very memorable. Many thanks to these guys for making my birthday special!

    Tonight we gave Tommy Bahama another chance and I'm so glad we did! The service and food were exceptional tonight! We made a 7pm reservation and when we arrived at 6:50pm, we only had to wait a minute before being seated. We started with the ahi taco appetizer and it was a little on the spicy side. The ahi was perfect and the taco shells were made of really crispy won tons, yum! My husband had a mango habanero margarita and he loved it, he is all about the spicy stuff! We each had a Caesar salad and they were very tasty. For entrees, we had the macadamia crusted snapper (my favorite) and the ribs. Both were excellent and so were the garlic mashed potatoes, so good! Our server, Jake was very attentive and friendly and I highly recommend him. Thank you to Jake, Sydney, and Patrick. We will definitely be back!!

    Very good food and the restaurant is exceptionally clean as it should be. Wait service was on the mark. The Macadamia goat cheese was very flavorful. Thai shrimp and scallop coconut curry was great. I would go here again.

    Usually this place is very good. However, this time they dropped the ball. Although the food was up to par the service was horrible. Waiting almost two hours for food when having a year old baby at the table is catastrophic.

    Had artichoke for appetizers and crab stuffed shrimp and thai shrimp and scallop for entree. All of them are exceptionally delish but nothing topped thai shrimp and scallop. It had asian curry flavor with rice and succulent shrimp to go with it. Loved the service, the waiters, atmosphere and the heck! It's tommy bahamas!! :D

  • Chass B.

    Definitely my favorite restaurant in Maui! If you want an ocean view and cheap fast food - this is not your place! I'm sorry to say it bluntly. Unfortunately, a million dollar complex has gone up a few years ago and took away the once beautiful view they had. Bummer, but, what can you do!?! BUT, if you want great tasting food with the freshest local produce, this is a place to check out! The prices may be a bit high for some, but seriously, this is Maui - Lots of things are expensive! The great thing is this :: Happy Hour!! Its reasonable and the quality is still the same. Last year the restaurant went under a hefty renovation and reopened just before and in time for the annual Starry Night event with Maui Film Festival. The new look is FAB-U-LOUS! The bar has a more open and contemporary look. Overall it looks fresh, chic, and definitely what I would expect a Tommy Bahamas to look like. Really works well being in the Wailea area of Maui. Love the new "do", it feels much more open in comparison to what it used to look. It can get a little loud, it is in a mall, and the restaurant is for the most part open aired. It also attracts a lot of families with children, and also the friends who like to hang out to have a few martinis and chit-chat. But, I have to say, the crowd for the most part is not the "young-ins." This crowd is mixed with business people, golfers, tennis pros, honeymooners, and families who are staying in Wailea. Theres a lot of locals who frequent the restaurant as well. You can tell when the bartender knows the clients name and the clients know when the bartender is coming back from vacation! The service I have to admit is a work in progress, but it's definitely not terrible at all. So, if you are ever in Maui and want to check out a restaurant that can offer a great meal with tasty drinks (Strawberry Lemonade Martini - my favorite, or a mojito!), or just check out small bites and drinks during happy hour, Tommy Bahamas is a must stop in spot! Just sayin!

    From start to finish this place beat my expectations. My wife and I thought it would be "chainy", but it had a great menu and really good service. Definitely trust the reviews on this one.

  • Alex A.

    WOW!!!! This place is great! We were kind of hesitant because of the price, but it is absolutely worth it. We started with the fish tacos and Flatbread with mango and goat cheese (it made me extremely moist) it's that good. I GOT MOIST PEOPLE!! My wife got a key like martini, it came with graham cracker on the rim. Imagine desert with alcohol in it... that's as far as we've got we are still here. I'm just sayin' my britches are soaking.. and I'm a dude.

  • Nickey W.

    Food is decent I honestly wasn't wowed by there huge selection of entrees. I would come here again but not first on my list of restaurants on Maui. I ordered the kona coffee crusted ribeye and was suppose to get potato salad which i didnt get. Came out of the kitchen with a bed of greens. I guess they thought i wouldn't notice, anyways didn't mention anything to the waitress. (This was after they told me they didn't have the tiger shrimp pasta available because the alfredo sauce was all burnt.) Reflected in her tip. Save the hassle and your money try Ruth Chris' steak house across the way.

  • Barbara M.

    Checked all the menus at the various restaurants in the shopping area and chose Tommy's quickly. Ate outside with live smooth guitar music. Lovely! Wish he would have sold CDs of his music. Anyway, back to the food...coconut shrimp was fresh and tasty. Crab bisque soup was as good as it gets. I had bbq ribs that were delish and hubby had Thai shrimp and scallops. There is more on the menu to try!

  • Jennifer Y.

    Absolutely nothing special about this place. The food portions are tiny, especially the salads which are just about a handful of veggies on a small plate for $10+. Service is slow and the food is just above average for this island.

  • Amie P.

    Daily happy hour 2-5 pm with strong Mai Thai's for $7. Ahi Tuna Poke decent for $9 yet you can get better flavor with the dragon roll at Safeway in Kihei. The location is convenient as it is located inside the shops at Wailea. Ample, complimentary parking and the bar has an open atmosphere which includes live music ( not certain if it's daily). I would describe the Personality behind the bar is equivalent to communicating with goats, add the "l" to the vocabulary and you get "blahhhhhh"!!!

    I don't know how we ended up here but I was pretty dubious; I think we were in a bind and just needed to feed the kids and ourselves. I had figured it's just some kind of tourist-trap thing; it's attached to the Tommy Bahama's clothing store; no real chance it could be good. Wrong. Delicious food, great service. Would definitely go back.

    We walked over to Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar - Wailea during our stay at the Marriott Wailea. The front reception folks left us a bit concerned, in fact we were preparing for a horrible experience based upon the pretentious and cold greeting we received. (Maybe the three young ladies up front were inexperienced and not yet schooled on customer service etiquette???). We were seated WAY in the back away from all other patrons, entertainment, views, etc. We kept positive attitude (give Aloha and it will come back to you!) smiled, and waited for the server/food etc. We had no further disappointments.Once we were seated, our server treated us like royalty and we were also visited by the manager, who offered us dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Although we tried to stay lo-carb - the bread was simply amazing, so don't skip, it is worth every stinkin carb!! The food was "good" but the service is what made our dining experience A-OK. We will definitely go back.

    food was delicious; staff was energetic (snappiest service we experienced on Maui) friendly, and dressed in Tommy Bahama style; clean, comfortable, and tropical decor--it had a theme to it without being cheesy--hard to pull off and they do it well; clean bathrooms we'd go back!

  • Jill T.

    Ordered the poke appetizer, the fish was sooo fresh. It is spicey which I like but my friend had a hard time eating it. For an entree I ordered the roasted vegetables. They were unbelievably perfect and yummy. They were very clean, no oil or salt. For just $2 extra you can order a side of grilled chicken, which I did just in case I wanted it the next day. If you don't eat a lot this will make for nice and healthy left overs. Waiter was gorgeous and so kind, but service was Maui style, sllloooooowwww and the restaurant was empty. Oh well, like I said, Maui style.

    we ate some fantastic food and had a wonderful dining experience here while staying in Wailea. I loved eating out on the patio with the warm breezes and the stars...just beautiful! They have a live singer/performer too, which adds to the ambiance of the place. I recommend giving it a try for dinner!

  • Bethany D.

    So nice we ate here twice! Great restaurant with fabulous drinks! The reviews are spot on. Great restaurant with lots of options. My recommendations are the coconut shrimp appetizer, seared Ahi Tuna and Macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi. We didn't try any of the desserts but they looked delicious. They also could be ordered in different sizes which was nice depending on the size of the party. Drink recommendations are the Grapefruit Basil Martini and the Bye Bye Blues. Delicious! I hear the happy hour was great but we were only there during dinner time. It is a little less expensive compared to other options in the area so it's a good change of pace. I recommend making a reservation if it's busy season. We didn't have one our first night but it was not yet Thanksgiving week. Our second visit we made a reservation through Open Table and got right in while others were waiting for 30 minutes. It's a must visit place. Highly recommended!!

    Fantastic happy hour with great food and drink selection, fair warning it can get crowded at this time. If youre looking for a lunch salad, try the steak salad, it comes with amazing shitake mushrooms on top that add the perfect touch and the steak is always tender and cooked to your preference.

    Bomb diggity! Great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend! Started with the goat cheese. Delicious. The margarita with Souza commemorotivo was delicious. My wife had the ahi tuna which was cooked perfectly and one of the better ways I've had this dish prepared. I are the coconut shrimp. Flavorful big plump shrimp fried perfectly. Small salad I had was excellent as well. I would def put this on your Maui list!

    World famous coconut shrimp is a MUST (but make sure you get the 6 PC as they will go fast). The scallop sliders are amazing!!!

    Randomly went to dinner here on the recommendation of the concierge of my hotel and was really pleased. My wife, 23 month old and I devoured ahi tacos, a great macadamia snapper and a surprisingly well conceived and executed chicken dish followed by an above average key line pie (my favorite dessert) and an exceptional cup of coffee. That would have all made this a 4 star if somewhat pricy ($30+ entrees) review. What made this a 5 star night was our waiter, Lucas. I have lived on both coasts of the US and throughout Asia and have eaten in lots of good to excellent restaurants yet this is the first time I can genuinely say the waiter was the highlight of the meal... He was on point and not condescending with my kid, his pace and general attention was excellent, and he was just awesome. I am writing my first review in who knows how many years just because this guy wowed me. If you are in the area and willing to shell out a bit for a nice meal, give this place a look.

    Pineapple jalapeño Mojito Is amazing! I am literally going to try to replicate this. First off, Great service all around! Our waiter was knowledgeable on the entree's, beverages and desserts. I like to ask the server what they recommend and this guy was spot on with each recommendation. We had the Ahi Taco's for appetizer and I could have literally had this for dinner. Super tasty! The Key Lime Pie was what we had for dessert and it was amazing! An absolute must try and Tommy Bahama signature! (Nothing to do with the restaurant but funny as all heck...watching some buzzed guy repeatedly photo bomb a couple of Japenese tourists) all in good fun of course, but it was hilarious to watch. Aside from all this...actually leaving the table at the beginning of dinner to go buy my husband a new shirt from the store (he was not happy with the one he was wearing) was a huge plus! My ideal meal here: Ahi Tacos for a meal with a Pineapple Jalapeno Mojito! Can be found in the dictionary under: Refreshing!

    I was a little nervous to try a chain restaurant when on vacation but this place was great with a touch of local flavor! Started out with a basil martini and it was mmm hmmm goood! We had the chicken lollipops to start and there was just enough for the 3 of us! The chicken fell right off the bone and perfectly cooked. The Parmesan crusted chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Great kids menu and service rocked!

    First of all this is certainly not a $$ restaurant it's a $$$. We ordered two meals and spent $100 without ordering any alcohol. My wife's meal was a chicken plate! The food was good, not great as I would expect spending that much money. The food portions where also very, very small for that kind of a price tag. I ordered the shrimp pasta and it came with 3 shrimp lol. I'm not sure how this got such a good yelp rating. I would go somewhere else.

  • Kevin O.

    Love this place. Incredible drinks and happy hour. Greg is by far the best server on Maui! We live on the south side and come in at least a few times per week and always sit in his section. He brings our drinks out as he greets us and has our lunch order memorized. There's no better place for great lunch with perfect service in Wailea!

  • Aly R.

    Ambiance was ok, in a strip mall, next to the retail store. We were hoping for more from the food. I had the macadamia nut crusted fish and the crust was definitely heavy, there was also a heavy panko crust on the special rib appetizer we ordered. Flavors were good, but hard to finish as we got full quickly. Priced on the higher side.

  • Krista S.

    I had been shopping in the mall and just happened to go there for a drink as my family and I were extremely thirsty. Of course we just couldn't have a drink so we ordered just a few pupus. We ordered 2 orders of the fish tacos and an order of the slider burgers. Food was excellent. I ate every last bit and I wasn't even hungry. Our server was amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Gave us great advice on where to go for breakfast and places to not waste our money on as we wouldn't be happy. I would and will go back here again. I'm actually going to go once more before I fly home to canada!! Oh and what I thought was very special and unique was after the meal they give u a postcard to send to someone in their dime. I thought that was a very cool addition. Good job guys!!! Keep it up!!

    FABULOUS! Happy Hour is the best time to go. I loved my Kettle One Martini and the pork quesadillas, we also had a "coconut cloud" martini and cheese with crackers. The restaurant is located in a beautiful setting which opens up into the clothing store.

  • Emmy R.

    I know what you're thinking. A Tommy Bahama restaurant? And it's actually good? Yes and yes. Craving some post-beach snacks, we decided to try out their happy hour and the crab bisque that a friend raved about. We didn't try any of the entrees, so this review doesn't apply to those, but the appetizers were great! So good that we came back after another beach day later that week. I do think it makes for a weird dining experience to have the Tommy Bahama clothing store connected and right in front of you while you eat. Okay for a quick bite or drink, awkward for a nice dinner out. Ahi Tuna Tacos! This was my favorite. Loved the crunch from the fried wonton wrap! I also liked that they used avocado instead of the usual slaw or mango salsa that typically comes with fish tacos. It paired nicely with the ahi. The Crab Bisque lived up to its hype. I was expecting more of a red, tomato-based bisque and was surprised with this creamier, smoother texture--in a good way. We also tried the Ahi Poke and the Short Rib Sliders. Both really solid choices. If you sit at the bar and don't get any complimentary bread--ASK FOR IT. It comes with a really tasty cinnamon and nutmeg(?) butter.

    As a newly diagnosed Celiac and traveling for the first time I Introduced myself to the manager Chad Rutan and asked him for advice on what to order. He was very understanding, compassionate and sent for the chef to advise me on what to order. She came out and personally recommended an amazing delicious snapper dinner that was over the top good! All the staff is friendly, and seem to enjoy their customers. Cannot say enough about staff and food

    We go here often. A great Happy Hour menu with delicious pupus...at the bar. However, last night we decided to grab a table and actually have dinner. Wrong move. Nothing was spectacular. Kona Coffee crusted rib-eye was ok. Side potatoes undercooked and boring. We also has the Mac Nut Crusted Snapper...BORING and very blah. Dry with very little sauce. Had to ask for loads of lemons. Realized quickly we should've went next door to Ruth's Chris or downstairs to Longhis. Oh we will go back...back to the bar, which by the way, has about 1 good bartender. The others...attitude and snobbish.

    Tommy Bahama runs an amazingly consistent experience across all of the locations I have visited. Off the mainland Maui runs a bit of a different menu but I was glad to see that one of my favorites, the amazing Crab Bisque, is still there. For the main course I had a special fish dish off of a local farm menu and was very happy with the outcome. Service was extremely good and the entertainment was good too -- though Naples is still the winner on the entertainment side. Where that locations sources its talent from is a wonder!

  • Traycee L.

    Must must must have the coconut shrimp and butterscotch pudding!! This is a great restaurant and I highly recommend you make this a dinner or happy hour stop on your Maui vacation. Even locals like it (as per my friend the local). The waiter was very friendly and not in a annoying sort of way.

  • Vic L.

    Good ingredients, great ideas, poorly executed. We had the pulled pork which would have been an easy 10/10 however there was far too much sweet sauce on it. It would have been much better if the sauce had been on the side. The scallops in the scallop sliders were easily some of the best I have ever had, however they just did not go with the slider, I removed mine from the bun and enjoyed immensely. Finally we had the poke tacos and they were very average. Cute terrace, but wouldn't come back.

  • Casey V.

    A must go when in Maui!!! First let me say I had very low expectations from this restaurant. I thought I would be over priced mediocre just like their clothes, but boy was I wrong! This place was perfect. The staff was incredible , the atmosphere was great, and the food was superb! We went on a Saturday night and they had the amazing live musician name Howard. He did great covers of well known songs with his acoustic guitar. Very relaxing and perfect for the atmosphere. Our waiter David was very nice and made jokes with us along with being very accommodating, when I wasn't sure about an item on the menu he brought me a sample of the sauce! He made us feel like we were at home eating dinner around our table. Very rare to feel that way at a restaurant. Lucky for us the food was way above what I expected. Everything we ate was amazing. From my tortilla soup to our lollipop chicken appetizer & our main courses there was not a dish that anyone hated. My favorite part was the amazing bread & cinnamon butter! That stuff was addicted! Our waiter even let me take some home. My entree was just as delicious. I had the Parmesan chicken and it was perfect, especially loved the sauce. All in all I loved this place! Our family had fun, a great time and lots of laughs. A night that will not be forgotten! Also I was wrong about their clothes too! I never knew they had women's clothes & I found myself wanting everything in the store that was conveniently located right next door. Thank you tommy Bahama for giving me a wonderful night & a new found respect for your company!

  • Shawna D.

    My husband and I went there for an early Saturday dinner. The dining room was full, so we sat at the bar and had great service! I had the poke tacos, and my husband had the rib eye steak. Both were totally satisfying and was plenty of food. Even though the bartender was totally busy, he still gave us great service. We would definitely go back again.

    (4)

  • Joe Y.

    This is a staple every time we come to Maui (or Kona for that matter). The bbq pork ribs are unbelievable (get them with fries for the perfect finger food). We usually belly up to the bar - they have great mixed drinks for the misses and the only place I've found Spaten Double Bock. This is one of our favorites in town.

    (5)

  • Shana K.

    So surprised that Tommy Bahama does such a great job with food AND clothes! The tacos and cocktails are beyond delicious, and the service was excellent. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it IS in Wailea, so it's expected. The atmosphere is great and the waiter told us to come back for happy hour. They have really good specials if you sit at the bar.

  • Jordan L.

    Incredible service and yummy bartenders. Oh I mean yummy food. I mean both! Sat at the bar with a friend and had about 6 different appetizers (we came hungry). The food was great and came out pretty fast! Their martinis are sinfully good!

  • Michelle-Joyce N.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. There are plenty of great places to eat at in Maui, and this is a chain available in the mainland, but I was so hungry shopping at the Shops at Wailea that we ended up eating here. Pros: - Everyone was great and accommodating, from hostess, to server, and busboys. I was hungry and tried to get a seat at the bar so I didn't have to wait for a table, but there was no room at the bar and we got a table. The server still charged us happy hour prices. - Crafted cocktails are delicious and strong! I tried the pineapple martini, crazy Cuban, and of course, a Mai Tai. - Filet Mignon was surprisingly very good and juicy, for this place not being a steakhouse - Kobe burger was decent, meat was complemented nicely with mushrooms and grilled onions. Cons: - Not a big fan of their fish tacos.. the tortilla they use had too heavy of a flour taste and overwhelmed the fish and flavor. I would return to another one of their locations. Especially to try one of their desserts!

  • Ken K.

    We had a great experience at Tommy Bahama's. The ambiance and service was great, but we really came here for Chef Maka Kwan's ahi prime rib. We had had the dish before at another local restaurant. It tastes like prime rib with au jus, but is made with ahi instead of beef. True to form, it was exceptional. I highly recommend it. We were really excited that we could enjoy this delicacy during our last trip to Maui. The people in our party who ordered other food (against my recommendation) also said that their dishes were great. We can't wait for our next trip to enjoy another great time at Tommy Bahama!

    Delicious food and fantastic atmosphere! Our waiter, Andy, was superb! He welcomed us and made us feel right at home. The drinks were outstanding... the coconut cloud and the manhattan are top notch! My wife had the Parmesan chicken and I had the mahi mahi for dinner. We highly recommend it!

  • Amy N.

    I am definitely not a fan of this place. I came here for some lunch and when I saw the menu I just wanted to get up and leave but I felt obligated to order something since the waitress already brought waters out. I decided to order the scallop slider which sounded really good. It took almost half an hour for just a single order of the scallop sliders to come out. Come on now, there were only two other parties there at the time. I took a bite into the slider and it had NO flavor whatsoever. It didn't even taste like they added salt and pepper. $16 for 2 tasteless sliders and 2 glasses of iced water. I'd rather drive a little ways and go to McDonald's for some spam, eggs, and rice.

  • Emily N.

    Love this place! Great happy hour with delicious food and drinks. Sliders, poke, fish tacos.... It's all good! Best Bloody Mary I've had on the island (still kind of average compared to others we've had on mainland and on other islands). Great service. Comfy seating. Good music sometimes too. We've been probably 10+ times and it's consistently good!

  • Stephanie S.

    We went there the night we checked in to our condo across the street. Things I loved: the drinks, sitting outside, the location and the live music wasn't too loud but additive to the atmosphere. Things that were just good: the food, the price and the service. All we needed was some food and some drinks, so this perfectly hit the spot. I'd come again, but probably only on that first night before we had time to really settle in.

    We had tried Tommy Bahama here in Wailea late last year. We where disappointed with their service and left a not so great review. To their managements credit they monitor the reviews and reached out to us to get more details so they could fix the problems. We went back this evening and was pleasantly surprised. The food and service was outstanding. The fact that they monitor reviews and follow up speaks volumes. We will be back for sure.

  • Travis K.

    I absolutely love Tommy Bahama's! Their drinks, food, and service are spot on. They go the extra mile for me every time I dine there. Just had lunch and dinner here a day apart. My fiance always orders a good ribeye. I tried their BBQ ribs, which was simply delicious! The sanibel chicken was also tasty too. I decided to try their jerk lollipops (spicy chicken pops) and that was a real treat. I don't like spicy food but I just decided to branch out and go for it. It was very good. For dessert, my fiance had the pina colada cake and it was delish. I really love creme brulee and they did not disappoint. Oh, and they also have a special Island Time Happy Hour menu. This is one of my favorite restaurants on Maui and for what they charge, I am all in and will not complain once about it. We were served by Lara and Laura on both days and they were very knowledgeable and good with service. Even though we were locals dining at a tourist location, they were more than helpful the entire time and constantly checked on us. We appreciate it!!! Their slogan, "Relax, Life is One Long Weekend" does not fail. Very relaxing atmosphere and its calming entertainment in the background gets the thumbs up too.

  • Shalin P.

    Very pricey place, and draws an upscale clientele (example- the family next to us was celebrating the fact that they just bought 3 nightclubs in Las Vegas). Even appetizer salads and desserts were close to $10. Interesting menu filled with local ingredients. I had the pan crusted chicken, which was a solid dish. Keep in mind this is a chain with locations all over the mainland. So while in Hawaii, I'd definitely stick to the local high-end places instead of coming here. Also, there is no ocean view anywhere in the restaurant (it's blocked by a condo complex).

    (3)

  • Rj S.

    We did not have rez but the place was literally half empty. They told us they did not have a table ready. Ok.....we got a drink at the bar and as soon as it arrived our table was magically ready. The service was outstanding. Cant put any fault there. The problem was the food. Some of the worst we have had in maui. All of the seafood was slightly dated (I was thinking of kitchen conf rules - no seafood on Tues. right?) To me, this is unforgiveable in a location like this and ESPECIALLY at these ridiculous prices. There are too many better places to eat in Maui.

    Food was great and so was the service. We had Joe. Really friendly and attentive! I wanted a drink with not too much sugar and he made really good suggestions! Bartender made them well... We started with the bunglow salad which had the best dressing.. Really light and slightly sweet. My husband had the ref white and blue salad. Also really good. I had the herb park crusted chicken and it was absolutely delicious! Huge portions so have enough for lunch today! Hubbs had the scallops ad he really enjoyed it! We finished with the key lime pie which i read about on here. It was good but not as good as the food. Next time I want to try the Oreo pie with fudge and health bar:) Totally reasonable bill and they comp'd the pie since it was our honeymoon. Def worth trying if you are not looking to go far and not spend 300 bucks at the resorts.. Plus they have Howard playing some awesome low key music!

  • Kanani M.

    To be honest, this four star rating is based solely on a few items. Once I tried them, I want nothing else. The fish tacos, TO DIE FOR. The plantains (served on side of the fish tacos), you need not order desert. The drink menu, very very well played. Do they have vegetarian items? Yes, just ask and you will get a separate menu that provides a variety, so you don't have to worry about people with dietary restrictions. Ambiance, nice for being situated in a mall. Service, on point. That is all. Maybe one day when I go there I will try something other than those items (doubt it) and will be able to provide a more rounded opinion. Until then... Yummm, Fish Tacos!

    I honestly did not know that my favorite clothing line retailer also had a restaurant until I was on Maui and we left very impressed! We had a table of 8 and serve was excellent, location was ideal, atmosphere was fun, food was great and I enjoyed several glasses from their Wine selections. Sorry that I cannot provide many more details about the food itself but my filet mignon was outstanding to go with the Cabinet. I cannot give it 5 stars solely because the pricing was on the very high side and somewhere along the line I was told that it was reasonably priced.

    I had no idea what to expect, but was more than pleasantly surprised. A bit expensive, $130 for a family of four for lunch, but that included several adult beverages for the big kids. All to be expected in Hawaii. The Mai Tai was excellent. We were all attracted to the fried fish and chips. My wife and I both had the fish sandwich. It was the biggest fish sandwich I have ever seen. No joke. It was DELICIOUS! They were kind enough to go "off menu" for the kids. They also wanted fish, so they split an adult meal into two for them. They each got two good sized filets and a good portion of fries.

  • Claudia L.

    We come here every year and like to come during "island time" when they have drink specials and small plate specials. We noticed that the portions have gotten smaller. I found a hair in my taco. The staff was nice as always but I'm not convinced we'll be back next year.

    4.5 Stars I recommend: 1. shrimp like dish in appetizer. fucken good. usually i think people who serve shrimp do shitty jobs but this was really good. 2. black fish tacos fucken bomb. odd pineapple sauce with a fucken plantain small pieces in it on the side. really good. 3. their bread appetizer good with nutmeg and cinnamon butter. bread fresh. 4. All their desserts home made. Recommeend the creme brulee pinapple slice. nice touch. 5. kalua pulled pork sandwhich not bad at all. very good. Might go again sometime this week.

    There is nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Service and food are very good! A few of my favourites: ahi poke Napoleon. It is served in a tartare fashion with avocado on top. You eat this dish on crackers and it's so fresh and delicious! The Kobe and mushroom burger is absolutely to die for! So juicy, always cooked to perfection! Served with this garlic sauce, and grilled onions and shiitake mushrooms....mmmmm! Best burger I have had on Maui! Their salads are also very fresh and tasty! Great drinks and great happy hour! The staff is very professional and take great care of their customers! One of my favourite restaurants!

  • E.J. W.

    2.5 stars. Ambiance -- I was surprised at how nice it was in the restaurant. Dim lighting and the wood decor was quite lovely, though it was the best part of the night. Service -- a little pushy with drink and appetizer orders but prompt and polite. Food -- the most disappointing aspect. The bread was good with some original butter spread made of nutmeg/cinnamon/ginger/honey. The spread was tasty, but as my wife commented, it would go better on waffles, and not so much dinner rolls because it was too sweet. I tried the steak and the wife tried a chicken/pasta. The steak was truly mediocre. It was cooked to my request but it was pretty fatty and lacked taste. I think they knew how bland it was because it was supremely oversalted. My wife's meal was also bland. The chicken was dry and overcooked. Both meals were also chock full of whole peppercorns. I love black pepper but in eating both of our meals, I grew tired of chewing on peppercorns with every other bite. We did try a piña colada, which was pretty good. Cost -- decent compared to many other comparable restaurants but the food just isn't worth it. Just for drinks, though, it's probably worth a shot.

    It is with great sorrow that I have to admit, Tommy Bahama's is not as good as it used to be. The drinks don't pack the punch they once had. The food is still pretty good though. I'll go check it out again to be sure. I didn't recognize any of the bartenders. Maybe Tim is back from vacation. My daughter-in-law was there the other night and said they were rude. That has never happened there before no matter how busy they are.

    I love a place that combines two of my favorite hobbies: eating and shopping! Tommy Bahama's Tropical Cafe offers both. The restaurant is decorated super cute in a British Colonial style. Lots of tropical touches. Love the orchids throughout! The food is really good! I ordered the Cabo Fish Tacos with grilled basa. They were so tasty! There was a side of grilled plantains with a pineapple pudding that was awesome. I could have just ate that pudding and the plantains and been super happy. I ordered a mango iced tea which was very refreshing and icy cold. Perfect for a warm day on the island! My mom and sister ordered mixed drinks and both were so good! My mom had a Blue Hawaii and it was so creamy and smooth with coconut milk. Loved it. I forget the name of the drink my sister ordered, but it was actually a variation on the one offered on the menu. It was really good too. After lunch I slipped in the Tommy Bahama store next door for a little post-dining shopping. This was the perfect ending to a perfect meal! XOXO ;)

    Service and food were fantastic. I had the roasted veggies and they were really good! Also loved the martini selection! Four stars because it is pricey and touristy, so good but not life changing.

    My family and I went to Tommy's yesterday for lunch, what an amazing experience! The food was exceptional, virtually all locally sourced (the pacific cod crispy sandwich is huge and benefits massively from being fresh and perfectly cooked and is under $20!) barring the beef. It's really refreshing to see a restaurant go to great lengths to use local ingredients, not just because of the benefit to the local economy but because it is just so much fresher. The ahi is that beautiful deep red you don't get from the frozen junk which reflects in the texture. The cod was fresh off the boat tender and tasty. Considering the quality of the service and the food the pricing is cheap apps are around $15 each and entrees tend to be between $17 and $34 with lots of choices in the low $20's. There are also sandwiches (sorry don't recall the pricing). I think the kids meals were all under $10. The sliders (both short rib and scallop) are to die for! The ahi taco's are awesome, fresh and tasty! The desserts were great fun. we shared the huge 'death by chocolate' style cake and the adults only chocolate pudding. There is a decent selection of well priced wines ($34 for a bottle of Riesling, not bad for a restaurant!) and some great cocktails (seemed to be in the $9 to $13 range). The Pineapple Plantation is well worth a try as is "the bbc". What really made our day was the amazing service. Our server David was perfect, observant enough to be attentive without being obtrusive, great attitude, knew every dish inside out, great at making sure our kids food came quickly to keep them happy, a real credit to the restaurant. I have high expectations for the service, David exceeded them at every opportunity, well worth a 25% tip (very rare from me :) ). There really is an effort to ensure the high quality impacts every part of your experience, even down to the 'doggy bags'. Not only is the food storage in really nice strong containers (not the cheap foam ones) but they include utensils and napkins neatly presented. Since my previous favorite restaurant went downhill after relocating to Ka'anapali, this is my new favorite haunt, and significantly cheaper than the previous one! Another reason to go more often!

    Two visits here, first one was better service at the bar than the second one. However, the second time, the poor guy was busy with bar, service bar, takeout orders, answering the phone. Maybe some staffing at lunch? Some nice refreshing cocktails- cucumber smash for example. The chicken lollipops are so delicious and tender, and the ahi tuna/avocado mountain is also delicious. Nice breezy space upstairs at end of the shops.

    I'll admit that I was wrong guessing at what this place might be like. Seeing a commercial name, I had visions of lame bar food and some kooky jimmy buffet songs swirling about. Not even close, the food is really good. The Parmesan Crusted Sanibel Chicken is ridiculous and is probably my favorite comfort dish around. Speaking of comfort food, the kids mac is oh so good. Make sure to explore the entrees and try to avoid just solely ordering happy hour items ...I'm not saying the Happy hour stuff is subpar, but the rest of the menu is quite good. I almost forgot - the coconut shrimp is the best!

    The worst dining experience in my 71 years of eating. Lousy, confused service by attractive , yet poorly trained wait staff. Not everyone at our table was served at the same time. One member was served after the rest of our party FINISHED our meal. Food was expensive and tasteless. Fish was fresh at one time but not tonight. It looked and tasted like frozen fish. $36 Mahi Mahi dish tasted like cardboard. I am not a complainer, search my other reviews and it will attest to my fairness. Tonight was a disaster and I wouldn't dare go back to give them a second chance. I don't think they are capable of improving. They need to stick to the shirt business and padlock the kitchen Dinner reservations at 6:00 p.m. Finished at 9:15

    So this restaurant is a chain, in a shopping mall, no view. However, the shops are great, pretty space. So, have lunch here. Wouldn't recommend dinner just because there are way too many options in the area. Waitress was great. Margarita was good, other drinks not so much (weak). Grilled Artichoke app. plus the crab bisque were way good. get them. Cuban sandwich, spectacular. Fish tacos, very good. It's a great lunch spot when at the shops.

  • Robert R.

    Another Island favorite for "Happy Hour". Get the Tommy Mojito, you won't regret it. By the way Happy Hour is really dinner time while on Maui. You want to eat lite and often which is the best way to enjoy yourself in the Tropics.

  • Dana H.

    The food is really good. I had the mahi mahi and it was really fresh, yummy flavor. I also got a salad. I think it was called the simple salad and the name said it all. It could've been named the boring salad because it was basically 2 leaves of lettuce and a couple slices of cherry tomatoes. The meal portions are not for sharing. My husband and I normally share a meal but this would never have fed us both. Definitely ask to sit on the patio!

  • Alex B.

    I can't speak for the other dishes that people on here didn't seem to like or thought were overpriced, but I can say that if you get the ribs you won't be disappointed. They were huge and fell off the bone. Also, $38 for enough ribs to feed two people is probably the most economical way to eat there or in most restaurants at the shops in Wailea

  • Matt R.

    Tommy Bahamas has excellent service and food. We went with our 2 yr old and mentioned we needed the meal to go quickly. Most servers just say ok and do nothing different but our waitress worked with a hustle I random see in vacation area restaurant employees. We had a crab cake, tuna, and the Thai scallops and shrimp. All dishes were excellently prepared and very fresh. Also the cocktail menu was creative and drinks were great. Will definitely be back before leaving Maui.

    Went here for the 2nd time tonight and Ioved my meal.. Also the bread with the cinnamon butter is Amazing!! The red white and blue salad was ehh ok but my dinner was so yummy!! I got the San Pedro Prawns, Jumbo shrimp in Caribbean spices with wild mushroom risotto with spinach on the side.. The Risotto was so good and creamy just like mom woulda made.. Very Good Meal.. Not a cheap place but its casual and friendly and a good decent meal...

    Great menu with plenty of offerings, including local fresh fish. We have dined at Tommy Bahama many times when visiting Maui and have always enjoyed the experience. It's a tad pricey, then again, you are in Maui. You will not be disappointed with any of the fish items on the menu. The key lime pie is amazing.

  • Nevada F.

    Pricey, but the excellent burgers are worth every penny. The happy hour drinks at the bar are excellent (especially the Mai-tai) and the service is unfailingly professional. Even without an ocean view, the atmosphere is excellent.

  • Bonnie O.

    Their bar is my favorite rest spot after shopping at The Shops. They serve these teeny mini fish tacos as an appetizer that are yum! I had never had a fish taco before...it always sounded weird to me...but these were teeny and seemed approachable and I'm really happy I gave them a try! They've got a great happy hour and some decent wines by the glass listed. Stop in when you're in Wailea and you won't be disappointed!

    While once one of my favorite spots for happy hour or a dinner splurge, Tommy's has really slipped. The recent renovation (completed in spring 2011) has left the dining room both character-less and noisy. The bar, once a great place to share some stories and experiences with strangers, has turned into a quiet grumpy place... partly due to the tired, and bored, bartenders. Sadly, Tommy's looks like a restaurant trying to save a buck here and there. Food portions at happy hour have decreased. Glassware is cheap. And drink garnishes are boring and unimaginative. I've been to Tommy's many times over the past decades. This trip, we went twice. On the first experience we were disappointed, but thought we'd give it another go. On the second experience, another disappointment. Try the "Monkeypod" up the hill from Tommy's. A newer and better choice.

    This is a nice place to splurge. We found dinner on the patio to be superb. First we enjoyed mai tais and grapefruit basil martinis, followed by the delicious poke, then we each really loved our different varieties of fish. Oh, and the side of the asparagus with fresh parmesan was an unexpected gem. Our waiter went the extra mile: we really appreciated his lighthearted humor and aloha spirit!

    The ribs were good. The shrimp were good. The service was excellent. However, the place was so noisy, just like a high school cafeteria. Not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner.

    When you think of Tommy Bahama's the last thing that comes to mind is fabulous dining experience. The first thing that comes to mind is expensive aloha shirt made for yuppy guy who lives in a tropical climate. Our Maui friend suggested that we meet up at Tommy's for lunch and at first I was a bit skeptical. They make resort wear, not food. I'm 7 months pregnant and at this point all I have is food to keep me happy. No boos. No recreational drugs. No airplane trips. No hot yoga. Not even cute clothes. Don't mess with my meals dude! With reluctance we headed to Tommy Bahama's and I was pleasantly surprised at the good experience we ended up having. Located on the 2nd floor of the Shops At Wailea, Tommy Bahama's restaurant is a design extension of the neighboring Tommy Bahama's store. Their menu is made up of hearty salads and contemporary mexican/carribean cuisine. Our waitress was a very nice Argentinean girl who did a really great job except that for some reason she couldn't remember what kind of iced tea our friend had ordered. My BF & I decided to split the Steak Saba salad and the fish tacos. I highly recommend spitting dishes when you eat here because the portion sizes are HUGE! We could have probably ordered and split just one entree because of the sizes. They were nice enough to serve our orders on separate plates and the 1/2 order looked like a full order. We ended up with 4 huge fish tacos and I couldn't even finish my second taco. I was so full that even though I'm a total sweets fiend, I couldn't even order dessert at the end. The dessert tray looked amazing and the nice thing is that they offer half sizes of any of their ridiculously huge desserts. We had a wonderful experience and if you like salads you're going to really love Tommy Bahamas. They have a nice selection and the portion sizes make it so you're not ever going to walk away hungry. Like at their retail locations, be prepared to dish out some dough for your meal. Average entree runs $18+ and if you order cocktails you'll end up spending $30+ per person. That's just for lunch! Most likely you're on vacation if you're eating here so wear your $125 Tommy Bahama aloha shirt, eat your $20 Tommy Bahama fish tacos, drink your $10 Tommy Bahama mai tai and enjoy your luxurious Maui vacation. You're going back to the "real world" soon so enjoy the good life while you can!

    We came for a 5:30 reservation with two kids under 3 years if age. Our server Kathy was so helpful the whole time and completely aware and helpful of the fact that we had little ones with us. On top of that, the location, view, and overall atmosphere was amazing. A perfect spot for a nice Maui dinner. The relaxing live music was icing on the cake. Though we had to rush out due to the babies, we would absolutely suggest this location to anyone visiting Maui!

  • Easter E.

    I didn't know tommy bahama had a restaurant?! Attached to the clothing store..... this is one of very few places to eat in the wailea shopping area... so we came in here for dinner one night b/c we were hungers... totally Chili's/TGIF type chain restaurant but w/ the Tommy Bahama decor, etc. It's loud and stuff in here, but I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Not great or fancy, but not bad at all! The coconut shrimp was ok... could have had more flavor on the shrimp but it was OK w/ the sauce.. the sauce was just hard to scoop up. The ahi-tuna tacos were good and crunchy. I got the ahi-tuna entree.. it was good and plentiful. My dad got ribs and man.. they were tender off the bone tasty! The slaw was ok... light and nice. Don't come expecting anything unique or anti-chainish, but it was a good meal.

    We were looking for a nice lunch after returning from a snorkel trip and noticed good reviews of Tommy Bahama's restaurant in the Shops at Wailea. Honestly, I didn't even know that Tommy Bahama had a restaurant but it was a nice surprise. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon with no reservations and good a great seat outside. The service was great and the food was very nice. The caesar salad was amazing. I had a cuban sandwich and my partner had the kobe burger. Both were great. I especially loved the island slaw and yucca fries that came with my cuban sandwich. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a nice lunch (or probably dinner) in Wailea. The restaurant is connected to a Tommy Bahama store near the back of the Shops at Wailea so there are lots of shopping distractions before and after dinner.

  • Matt O.

    The service was good, the food was good, but some dishes are a complete rip-off. Case and point, my wife and my sister split the $38 ribs and received enough food to feed a small army. The ribs had a tasty BBQ sauce, but the edges were burned. I ordered the $32 thai shrimp and scallops and received three small shrimp, and three small scallops. It was not enough food to feed a child. I also could have purchased the ingredients raw and made fifteen of the same dish for the equivalent price. If the food was cooked in an amazing way that blew my mind I wouldn't care, but the fact is the coconut thai seasoning was uniform in flavor and after around five bites become totally monotonous (maybe that's why there were only a few). I recommend the restaurant, however, be sure to ask how much food is being provided with particular dishes.

  • Nicole W.

    Rating: 3.5 We went to Wailea for lunch and found very few options. We ended up here. We sat outside on the nice deck. I ordered the chopped salad. I never order salads but it sounded really good and thankfully tasted really good. For $20 I would have been pissed if it didn't. Hubby had the pork sando which looked delish and he liked it very much. The banana daiquiris were tasty too! Good food but pricey but what can you expect from a place that sells $100 aloha shirts.

  • Gary N.

    Took my family there for dinner last night. The service was excellent and our server was knowledgable about the wine menu items. Food came out promptly an was delicious, as was the wine. There was live entertainment on the dining patio which we enjoyed. Overall the items we liked best were the crab bisque and the red, white and bleu salad. I give it only three stars because it is a chain and culinarily speaking I do think chains can offer taste at the 4-5 star level. That being said I do recommend this place and would eat here again.

  • Jason H.

    We hit this place for happy hour and could not have been "happier". Live acoustic music, 3 cocktails, 2 not so "small plates" (pork and fish tacos that were phenomenal), and a bibb lettuce salad for about $40 plus tip. The crew there was super friendly and accommodating of a sleeping baby in a stroller. We will definitely be going back!

    Didn't realize this place even existed outside of the clothing store! We came here for a nice romantic dinner, which it was. We sat out on the deck, had some live music that was perfect background music. Not too loud or anything. We had some awesome drinks, they even went and got a bottle of my husbands favorite rum since they didn't have it in their bar, for his rum & coke! The food was delicious and we couldn't get enough of the salmon dip--we had to keep asking for more crackers! Very nice service, very friendly and the cost wasn't too bad at all. We even met another couple on their honeymoon :)

  • Melissa C.

    5 stars all the way. We dined on their outdoor patio next to the lovely musician. I ordered the basil martini w/grapefruit, which was delicious and HUGE and my husband got the gran daquiri with his favorite rum, ZAYA, which he loved as well. For food we wanted to keep it light so we split the ahi tuna taco appetizer (4 raw ahi tuna tacos in fried wonton wrappers) SO GOOD and then the shrimp and scallop curry entree. They put them into split portions and at first we weren't sure if they accidentally served us TWO entrees because the split portions were quite generous but it was really just ONE portion and SOOOOO good! Loved the service, too. Our waitress was Ashley and she was so sweet and patient and didn't put any pressure on us even though we were really there for just drinks and apps. Highly recommended and definitely go if you're in the gorgeous Wailea area.

    I went to Tommy Bahamas in Orlando and loved it so I knew for a really nice dinner that it wouldn't let me down after some window shopping at Wailea Shops. We were greeted and ordered Jalapeño Pineapple Mojito and a Grapefruit Martini. Of course got the plantains for an appetizer and then ordered Macadamia Encrusted Mahi Mahi and the Ahi Tuna. All very tasty. The ambiance was nice and there was a really good guitarist and singer playing music while we ate. Overall it didn't let me down. Very nice spot for a nice dinner with drinks.

    Look, you are in Maui enjoying tropical paradise and eating at a campy chain restaurant. Cut the place some slack. Don't expect too much and you'll be fine. Have an extra Mai Tai and sink into island relaxation. Fish Tacos were execellent. Cuban Sandwich also excellent. Portions are fine but prices are high for sure. Drinks were great and similarly pricey. Service was fine. Atmosphere..well, must I remind you again?? You're in Maui!

    With all of the luxurious meals available to those that visit the spectacular Wailea area of Maui, Tommy Bahama's cafe is often times unjustly overlooked. Situated at the westernmost side of the Wailea Shops, this restaurant exudes a laid-back beach style bar & grill attitude with friendly (and attractive...YES) servers and killer daily dinner fish specials. A creative cocktail list (recommend: Hurricane Tommy, Bahama Mama), unique appetizers (recommend: anything ahi, scallop sliders), and delicious entrees (recommend: Tommy's Rib Rack, Sanibel Stuffed Chicken) all make this place a must visit for lunch, dinner, or a simple afternoon cocktail. The major knock on this place is that there is no ocean view, but trust me when I say that the food and experience more than makes up for it. If you happen to find yourself vacationing in Wailea, make it a priority to check out Tommy's. The cuisine is moderately priced relative to other restaurants in the area, and it'll beat most dinner options found at the hotels nearby. Tip: Tommy's often has a live guitar player/singer during dinnertime. Songs from the likes of Hawaii's famous artists like Jack Johnson further enrich the dining experience.

  • Leona Y.

    I dined here on a Tuesday around 1pm for lunch and the place was almost empty. I'm thinking it's because it's located inside a small mall (The Shops at Wailea) and it's connected to the Tommy Bahama store which can make it a little difficult to find. I ordered the Grilled Ahi Tuna Melt which was very delicious! It comes with two taro bun sliders which has bacon, cheddar cheese, and a thick portion of the tuna. It also comes with a side garden salad. I'm not sure if this is usually on thier menu since it was listed under their specials for the day. If you see it though, you should def. order! My parents both agreed that the tuna melt was better than both of thier sandwiches (pulled pork sandwhich and cuban sandwhich). The reason why I took off one star is because of the price. I think my sandwhich was around $19 which is pretty pricy for what you get. But if you are ever in the Wailea area, make sure you stop by for a quick bite!

  • Apryl V.

    I was hot, thirsty and tired of shopping. While waiting for my husband and friend to finish golfing I decided I would stop by The TB Bar and check out the menu...& hey the pineapple mojito sounded pretty good. You would think that a young female sitting at a bar alone on Father's Day might get greeted with a smile. Especially since there were about 5 people total in the entire restaurant. Not so, I was given a menu only to be ignored for 10 minutes. I finally ordered and was asked if I was going to order food, when I replied I was not, I was immediately given a check and promptly ignored. The menu items looked decent but I wont be returning. Too uptight, over priced & paired with bad service... Conclusion: My Pineapple Mojito was too sweet and and the service was sour. 5 thumbs down!

    I was skeptical about coming here but the food was really good. The macadamia crusted mahi mahi and ribs were great. There was live music out on the patio area which added to the nice ambiance. We had a "prawn" appetizer, but the prawns turned out to be pretty small shrimp which was slightly disappointing.

    my wife and I came here for drinks and apps at the bar. The place is very nice inside I was impressed. The Bartender was very attentive and friendly. Apps were very good and drinks were awesome.

  • Garrick G.

    Had the best drink I've ever had here: the pineapple jalapeño mojito. Food is excellent - I had the seared ahi with some wonderfully grilled bok choy, and my wife had a perfectly done pork chop. Didn't give it a full five stars because although the food is great, the pricing is rather high, at around $40/entree. And yes, you definitely need to try the key lime pie.

  • Fred Y.

    Very long wait between dinner salad and entree. I counted the croutons: THREE! Had to ask after a twenty minute wait to splash some more coffe in my cup. That's my barometer for wait persons. The chicken sanibel was ok, but far from WOW! All in all, would not waste my money or time going back.

    Overview: Island cafe- style restaurant in an outdoor mall. Doesn't sound great, does it? Oh, but you will be surprised! The atmosphere is lively, they always have some type of live music in the evenings and the waiters are friendly and comfortable. So, maybe this isn't the best food on the island, but if you order right, you won't be disappointed. Plus, they have great island drinks. That'll make anything better. Food: Key Lime Pie: I love, love, love their key lime pie. It is just the right balance of tangy and sweet. I had it (gasp) twice during our most recent visit. The slice they give you is HUGE ! You gotta share this dessert or risk having a gut on the beach. Fillet: This was surprisingly very delicious. The meat was quality, perfectly cooked and served with a delicious red wine sauce. I admit, this is pretty basic, but just delicious. Also, I loved their asparagus. They serve this grilled with lemon oil and grana padano cheese. Ribs: These were so tender that you can literally use a fork and knife to eat them. No messy hands here! They were very delicious. Stay Away: Okay, along with the good there are some bad dishes unfortunately. I had the pork loin and while it was cooked perfectly, I really didn't like the chunky cherry compote they put on top. It really needs a more liquid sauce to compliment the grilled meat. This was served with whipped sweet potatoes with a struesel topping which I actually liked, but it tasted a bit like dessert rather than an entree side dish. Bread: Fresh and warm. Served with cinnamon butter. I like plain butter better and my hubby loves the cinnamon butter. Personal preference... Service: Good, comfortable and very friendly. Food is served pretty fast here.

    Nice pineapple mojitos and great whiskey sours. Stick with pupu's and drinks to try lots of flavors and not break da bank. They have killer sweet potato fries that they serve with a creamy honey mustard sauce. I hate mustard and this stuff is ono-licious. I don't know if it is still on the dinner menu, but they used to make a sanibel chicken. It was stuffed with boursin cheese and served with a red pepper cream sauce. OMG Even as a resident of Maui for almost a decade, when I go to TB, I feel like I am on vacation again. Aloha!

    I love this place. My family is in Maui about every other year, and we stay at the GWR, so Tommy Bahama's is close and easy and usually our first night dinner. It's always good, and really consistent. The service is lovely. The only sad thing is since the new building went up, the view is gone. But the food is still delicious and satisfying. I'll always eat here when I'm in Hawaii.

    As unlikely as a restaurant offshoot of a clothing store seems as a good restaurant, it is my favorite restaurant on Maui. When visiting we always eat here at least twice and we're making it three times this trip. Everything I've had is good but highlights are the Mai Tais, Cuban sandwich, salads, and Piña Colada cake.

  • Heather J.

    Attention this is only for happy hour and only for their pineapple mojitos which were delish. I did not eat anything but the drink alone has me craving to come back to try something else. People watching is great, the location is convenient in the shops @ Wailea and even though it is a chain...I like...where is that button.

    Waiter brings me Chardonnay instead of Cabernet. I told him...umm..I ordered Cab//....and he tells me why don't I just drink this instead. FAIL. Hubs got the chicken salad. Got served cut up chicken breast...with a half chopped lettuce. Meaning..the lettuce was just cut in half. Really...he had to sit there and cut up his own salad. FAIL. I don't remember what I got but it was a chicken/shrimp dish. Got served a chicken dish with 2 pieces of itty bitty shrimp. Salty. FAIL. Coconut pineapple cake was taken togo since we couldn't wait to get out of there. That cake on the other hand...it twas' gooooodddd. Over all...I never liked Tommy Bahamas...and I never will.

  • Brian S.

    The star rating reflects the service more than the food. We came in with party of 9( 5-kids 4- adults). we ordered salads, heavy apps and I had a main course. Our server was barely by our table, the manager walked by and seemed to be checked out. Basically, we were given one glass of water with no refills, had a beer with never a check in to see if i wanted another. In this economy, I would expect on the of the most expensive restaurants to be more on it. Apparently they are doing fine. Many of my friends ask me for my opinion when going to Maui, I cannot say I wold recommend Tommy's after this last visit. I heard recently they changed GM's so that might have something to do with it, but at their prices, it is not worth it.

  • Vincent S.

    Met with some friends for an early dinner here and it is for tourists as no locals will be found here. Nice enough atmosphere, but high priced for what you get. I got an appetizer of mini-ahi taco's for $19. They were very mini and not worth any where near $19 [a fish restaurant in San Francisco serves up a much nicer similar appetizer for $5.50]. I got a Cesar salad that was a few leaves of romaine with a little parmesan cheese shredded on it. So the bill with 4-drinks was $200 & while not outrageous for Hawaii, I def will not be going back to Tommy Bahama's.

    Cocktails good - Bombay English blueberry gin. Food - we tried Farm to table and was a but sloppy. Tomato capresse had a flavorless tomato cut into 3 with goat cheese lumped on and a lurid pink sauce on the whole plate. Do nit think farm to table means good or quality! Other food a mix....butterfish good minus topping, macadamia snapper ok but sloppy, crab cakes good. Service - nothing bad nor special. There was live music that was nice to dine to. There is no sunset beach view we could see here, just views of hotels.

    Wow, who knew Tommy had a restaurant? While strolling the Shops at Wailea, we hungrily found our way at Tommy's front door, and after ten minutes of waiting-- It was not very busy...it just seemed they like to have people wait, before they get to a table and wait for the server to show up. Service was a too slow, for such a HIGH end/pricey menu. Eating here will help you adjust to the $125 shirts next door. I really did think dropping $75.00 on lunch would get me a 10% off at the store...uh, WRONG on that one. On the plus side, Mango ice was FANTASTIC, in fact everything we had, pork pulled BBQ sandwich, crab-cakes and a few other items were TOP notch. My guess is, we will go back, next time we hit Maui that is....

    We visited this restaurant for lunch and the experience turned out to be our favorite lunch place in Maui! Tropical atmosphere and the prices were decent for the quality of the food. Service was on-point. Their lemonade was fresh-squeezed, very yummy. Tomato soup was delish as well. As for entrees, we ordered salads and they were SO SO GOOD! ARUBA ARUGULA SALAD Caribbean cracker-meal seared jumbo shrimp and scallops on a bed of fresh baby arugula, tossed with tamarind vinaigrette. Garnished with sliced papaya and chopped peanuts. 19.50 SABA STEAK SALAD Marinated and char-grilled tenderloin medallions served over a bed of locally grown greens tossed with tamarind vinaigrette. Garnished with grilled potatoes, roma tomatoes, shiitake chips and garlic aioli. 20.50 We sat near the patio porch and birds would come visit out table every now and then, it was a bit entertaining and relaxing!

    This was the only dinner place we went twice. Both times the food/drinks/service were outstanding. Their prices are high but at least you get what you pay for. We tried a few places over the course of our vacation that hurt the pocket book and didn't give you much in return. So between two dinners we tried the following appetizers: Ahi Poke, Scallop Sliders and the Goat Cheese... all were yummy. Can't remember what we had for the first dinner. It was our first night there so I forgot to take notes. The second time we had the Little Palm Pasta, Opah, Ahi dinner and the Curry Shrimp & Scallops (with just scallops). All of it was delicious. The drinks here were definitely some of the best we had during our trip. The Coconut Cloud martini, Oahu Star and Grey Goose Martini were some of our favorites. Oh and don't forget to try the BBC (Banana, Bailey's, Coconut) drink... makes a great dessert. Our service was great both times. The second time our waitress was so great. She had helpful suggestions (ie.. getting the Curry Shrimp and Scallops with just the Scallops cause the person ordering it was allergic to shrimp and then saving the day by remembering that they use shrimp in the stock for the lobster bisque he tried to order), she was personable and funny to boot. This was a great dinner that took our mind off that fact we had to return home the next day.

    I called because we were running late. We were on our way to the airport and I wanted to make sure we were okay in our airport clothes (jeans and sneakers). The hostesses response: "Sure. No worries!" I loveee Maui. Fine dining in sneakers. Amazing. I guess they wanted to make our last meal in Maui memorable because they gave us an amazing table outside right as the sun was setting. Although it wasn't ocean view, a sunset in Maui is amazing even if you are in your hotel room with the shades drawn. Service: EVERYONE was incredible. The hostesses came over and talked to us. The manager came over and talked to us. Our server (Patrick? Right? He is from Orange County and has a brother that lives in Hawaii) was incredible. My boy was trying to tell me it was his first nite because he was so on top of his tables with refills, fresh bread etc. I quickly proved him wrong. The kid was such a good server he was just on top of his game: He could describe every type of dessert down to consistency and ingredients used in the whipped cream, every special was memorized and he suggested my entree which was one of the best entrees I had in Maui. Food: We split a Cesear salad to start and the Antigua quesadillas. Both were amazing. The sundried tomatoes were a nice touch and the salad came split already. The boy had the chicken and I had the tuna (Patrick's suggestion), both were great. Now, my aunt suggested this restaurant to me and told me to save room for the key lime pie. I don't even like key-lime pie, but if something is suggested as "the best", I need to try it. I ordered a half slice of it (nice touch! I love that they offer half slices) and the boy ordered a half slice of the pina colada cake. I didn't really like his, but I don't like rum-soaked desserts, that includes you, tiramasu. The key lime pie was to die for! And, again, I don't even like key lime pie. Price: I think for a couple of beers, a couple of iced teas, two appetizers, two entrees, two desserts, somewhere around $150. Incredible! In Wailea, nonetheless! You couldn't come close to that price in NYC or many other places in Maui. All in all, it was a great deal, great service and amazing food. It was an amazing last meal in Maui. I anxiously await my next trip.

    I would say the best thing about this place is the mango iced tea and the key lime pie. The menu is limited, very reminiscent of chain food(it is a chain restaurant so I guess it's not surprising). Unoriginal food, somewhat slow service and a bad location. I'd skip it.

    We are always afraid of any type of chain but this is so far from a chain feel, you will be amazed! We just came in from the mainland and were starving for anything that wasn't pretzels and peanuts from an airplane! Made a quick reservation at Tommy Bahama's and made our way over to the Shops at Wailea location. We arrived a bit early and they seated us on the outdoor patio where we proceeded to enjoy the night air, delicious drinks, really tasty food and had an overall terrific evening! Great start to our trip! May even go back again before we leave! Definately recommend!

    My wife and I had a great meal at a Tommy Bahama's in Orlando FL so we went into this meal with high expectations. Sadly, these were not to be met. Crowds and some loudness was somethat expected but the service was VERY inconsistent and everything seemed "off". Our red wine was at about 75 degrees so we had to order a cooler to try and save it - ordered Pelligrino water and the server doesn't pour the water? Okay, you also go to a restaurant for the food and it was very good. My wife's salad was beautiful collection of greens and I had the classic coconut shrimp. Kids meals looked like they came out of a can - maybe a good strategy - they liked them. My wife's filet with fingerling potatoes was very good and my hawaiian fish (drawing a blank on name) was also good - perhaps just a touch overcooked but not fatal. As others have mentioned, it's pricey and wouldn't be my first choice for a meal. If you're in Wailea area - check out my other reviews for some hidden finds.

    I'm not sure if I am giving Tommy Bahama's a fair shake because of all the wonderful meals and experiences in Maui but I will call 'Balls and Strikes" and you make your own decision. Atmosphere: Extremely relaxing and laid back. I would say this is the best quality of the place. Service: Our waitress was not on her game for our visit and was extremely difficult to get prompt service (meaning you had try and slow her down as she ran past your table to get something) but the front staff was extremely helpful in getting us a car so they off set each other. Food: Definitely 3 stars, I went with the grill Pork Chop it was good not great. Overall, a nice experience, depending upon what you are looking for in Maui, for the price a good place to visit.

    My wife and I had a late lunch at Tommy Bahama's. This was our first meal in Maui, and the prices were quite a shock when compared to the mainland (compared to Chicago's equivalent restaurants). That said, the feel of the restaurant was well maintained with attentive servers. I had the Kobe Burger with caramelized onions, mushrooms and garlic butter. Delicious burger and I rarely get to eat Kobe beef let alone in a tropical locale, so the $19 burger was a little easier to swallow. The complimentary rolls with cinnamon/nutmeg/coconut butter are creamy and sweet.

    Service was S L O W tonight. Don't know what was going on in the kitchen but we waited and waited and waited for our entrees. Well when our food finally arrived it was good - not great.

    Best Pina Colada ever, hands down! Even though it is 8:15 in the morning as I am typing this review, just the thought of their Pina Colada makes me crave one right now. Dinner here was good, a bit on the pricey side I thought, but good. Prices were almost in line with a fine dining restaurant but I don't consider this fine dining. Dinner was good though! The coconut shrimp are amazing. I also had the mahi mahi which was very tasty. I also highly rate Tommy B's on the atmosphere! I usually don't expect much from a mall restaurant but once you step inside, you will see what I mean. There is no feeling of being in a mall restaurant here at all. The service was wonderful, not to quick, not to slow, just right. Great service, food, atmosphere and drinks!! Can't ask for much more :)

    Nice guitar music and decor. The waitress was a bit cranky. I ordered the scallop sliders and a side of mashed potatoes. The scallops were overcooked and soggy. The mashed potatoes were ok. The portion was large enough for 3-4 people. The best deal in town appears to be at the Four Seasons right now. Prix Fix at either Duo or Ferraro's for $49 (app, entree, dessert) and free valet parking.

    We've been here twice this vacation, and a few times before this, and each time I expect it to be bad. Because, you know, it's a chain theme restaurant, and those are always bad, right? Kinda my golden rule is if they play Jimmy Buffett music the food is going to be bad. But I keep getting surprised by this place being good. I guess it takes me a few times for something to sink in. Everything we've had has been yummy and fresh. Not big-box tasting. No brown marks on the lettuce, no soggy or stale anything, even when you come in at 3:00pm, a time when you'd think they'd be trying to get rid of the stuff they prepped for an already-past lunch crowd. The margaritas taste like they really are made with at least some fresh lime juice (they don't taste like the bottled sweet and sour mix) and the tequila does taste like the top shelf stuff. The servers check back often enough that you can ask for extra lime for your tacos, and get it while they're still hot.

  • Maggie D.

    I love Tommy Bahamas. I wish they had more restaurants around the country. Every time I am in Maui this is a must go to restaurant. They have wonderful dishes and I would recommend basically anything here. My favorite is the Lunch Cobb Salad. I always get this at night even though it's a lunch dish. Also you cannot miss out on the bread! It's AMAZING! Their cinnamon nutmeg butter is so delicious I can never get enough. That being said their desserts are average. I would rather go to lapparts downstairs :)

  • Chris A.

    We stopped here to eat on our way to the airport at the end of our trip. Here's my take: This place has a really corporate feel, which is no surprise given that it is part of a chain. I usually avoid chain places, but this place was convenient at the time. The food was good, which it should be, because this place is very expensive. Think Mama's Fish House prices without the Mama's Fish House experience. The service was top notch. We told our server at the outset of our meal we were on our way to the airport, and she did a great job of expediting our meal. The crowd here is a bit douchey for my taste. OK, a lot of douchey for my taste. Keep it real people. Leave the Prada bags, the $200+ jeans, and the matching attitudes on the mainland. Mahalo for your cooperation.

    I hit up the Tommy Bahama bar every time I am in town (staying at the Marriott Wailea) for business. They have a small happy hour menu, but it has some good stuff on it (fish tacos, poke stack), and some good drinks too. The only problem is that their happy hours ends at 5:00p. Plan to get there early so you don't miss it, as their regular menu is pretty spendy.

  • Mark W.

    We came in-between lunch and dinner sat at the bar. The service was friendly the decor was fun the food was lacking. I got the chicken quesadilla which wasn't good at all. My wife got the pull pork sandwich which was flavorful but only a small amount of pork sat on this huge roll.

    (3)

  • Guy R.

    The goat cheese appetizer was very good. The place is LOUD! The service was poor and the prices are freaking outrageous! I had the ribs, which were good but not special. We're not drinkers so for two people to have an average meal that costs $100 is irritating. Probably the most frustrating meal during our two week visit in Hawaii.

  • Amie N.

    This was one of my favorite resturants on Maui and I definitely did not expect that to happen! Our waiter was incredibly nice and the atmosphere was great! There was someone singing & playing guitar and it was very nice too. They had vegan options on the menu which always makes me happy and it was delicious! 5 stars!

  • Mae S.

    The menu descriptions are all very exaggerated -- too many ingredients, too many claims, too much too much. Example "ST. CROIX CHOPPED SALAD -- Diced marinated and grilled chicken breast, fresh mixed greens, vine-ripened roma tomatoes, Maytag bleu cheese, Granny Smith apples, macadamia nuts, hickory smoked bacon and sweet corn tossed with our honey-lime vinaigrette. Garnished with garlic croutons. $19.50" The service was ridiculously slow. I keep defending island prices -- but these are way overpriced. No wonder there were hardly any customers. They should maybe stick to exaggerated Hawaiian shirts at exaggerated prices.

    (2)

  • Sharon J.

    This place was just okay... For me, it was way overpriced; the cheapest entree was about $25. I went with 2 other people and we weren't too hungry so we ordered a simple salad, crab cake stuffed shrimp, and the macadamia nut encrusted snapper to all share. The portions were not that big and the food wasn't extraordinary. However, the staff was very nice and the place itself was nice. Only complaint is the limited menu and prices. We spent $98 on a meal we almost skipped.

  • Tania G.

    I should disclose I haven't actually eaten a real meal here. More of a pupus and cocktails sort of gal. I love the martinis here. The big island goat cheese is wonderfully nutty, creamy and sweet, made with mac nuts, mango salsa and a soy glaze. The loki loki tuna poke is my absolute favorite. For you locals, don't think poke, think tartare, with guacamole. To fill up, go for the antigua quesadilla. Sitting out on the lanai with some mellow live music, what else could you ask for?

    We came here to meet up with our wedding coordinator and her musician husband sing the night before our wedding. We had some ahi tar tar that was DELICIOUS!! The rest of the food and drinks were mediocre and over priced. The ambiance created by the outdoor seating (candles, breeze, just knowing you are in MAUI!), beautiful voice of Jamie and being surrounded by close friends made the night amazing. I am bias though -- we were getting a sneak peak of the artist who sang on our special day.

    No, I never thought I would give five stars to a restaurant that is a spin off of a company that makes lounge-wear for middle-aged white people, but Tommy Bahamas in Maui is really, truly excellent in every way. It has everything: atmosphere, beauty, charming waitstaff, excellent live music, and delicious local food. Prices are comparable to other fine dining restaurants in Hawaii. (25-50 dollar range for an entree). I went back a few nights ago for the fourth or fifth time, and it was better than ever. The list of specials featured all farm-to-table local fare, which I hadn't remembered from previous visits. We enjoyed the candle-lit patio and absolutely magical live slack-key guitar. My boyfriend and I shared the macadamia-crusted goat cheese, the bungalow salad and the jerk chicken, and all were excellent. The only thing that could improve this place would be a water view. (They used to have one, before the condo complex was constructed!) In any case, this is definitely one of the best places to eat in Wailea.

    Ordinarily I would go out of my way to avoid a chain type restaurant, but will say that I am thrilled we gave this a try! My coconut cloud cocktail was just as the server described - a boozy coconut drink. Started with their signature coconut shrimp with a wonderful cilantro, cabbage, red onion pineapple slaw and followed up with some pretty tasty blackened fish tacos. Garnish to the tacos was a little bit of fried plantain in a sour cream sauce. Server was super friendly and very knowledgeable.

    My favorite place for lunch on Maui. I come here quite a bit but today had the most amazing butterscotch pudding. It was the best dessert I have had at a restaurant since I can remember.

    My wife and two children (16 and 12) enjoyed a very nice, though very pricey, meal here last Sunday night. Service and entertainment were excellent, the decor was appropriately tropical, and the food was very good. The appetizers we ordered - the Crab Calloway and South Seas Scallops Sliders - were outstanding, as was the Bungalow Salad my wife and I split. The popover bread with honey, nutmeg and cinnamon butter was served warm (warm bread, for me, is often a bellwether for the rest of a meal and it was certainly the case here). The entrees were a bit more mixed. My Trinidad Tuna was cooked just right, and the sweet chili sauce and cilantro oil drizzle was delicious, but the fish itself was a little tough in some spots. My wife and 16yo daughter had the special - a crab-crusted Ono that was a bit overcooked (in both cases) but otherwise tasty. My 12yo son's enormous rack of baby back ribs came with a great blackberry brandy barbecue sauce, and was twice as much as he could eat (especially after the appetizers). The drinks were good - though that's not what we were primarily interested (I'm much more of a wine snob and beer snob than tropical drink snob ... though I only drink 100% agave tequila). The service was outstanding throughout. We were entertained by Howard Ahia, playing classical and classic rock music on his classical guitar. Every song was fabulous, and we found it hard to leave - almost ordered another round of drinks, but it was our first day in Maui, and we wanted to get the the nearby Maui Dive shop to rent snorkel gear before it closed. All in all, it was a very good meal, but it did cost over $300 (before tip).

    We make it a point to have dinner here whenever we visit Maui. They have romantic outdoor seating with live music. Attentive servers and amazing complimentary bread with cinnamon butter. Good vegetarian options ... They actually recreated a dish for me that I had in the past that is no longer on the menu. My husband always gets one of their chicken dishes and is always pleased. It is pricier but worth it.

    So, how much can you really expect from a restaurant in the middle of honestly, a huge strip-mall? Well, given it's smack-dab in the middle of Kihei flanked by some of the most renowned restaurants in the U.S. at virtually every 5-star resort from the Four Seasons to the Grand Wailea; you'd hope it would self-servingly hold its own. But I hate to tell you that it was quite possibly one of the most overrated and disappointing food experiences I've ever had. There were two modes at this place, super-salty or no flavor at all. The "world famous" Tommy Bahama coconut shrimp tasted as if it had been "famously" frozen and the accompanying chutney was as uneventful as they come. Sadly, not working to bring out any of the shrimp's "natural" sweetness, rather dumping more sugar over sugar, over the shrimp. Pretty bad choice. The soup was a bit of saving grace although a "Mexican" inspired dish being their best was a bit odd considering we were sitting amongst the beauty of Maui and all. How do Hawaiians say "la sopa es bien?" Sadly though, I'd rather have a bowl of Tortilla Soup at Chilis. The entrees I really won't spend anytime on, as they truly don't deserve it. Something about shrimp and scallops and an entree with snapper. I think we'd rather salt and pepper a piece of cardboard, microwave it and eat that. Whatever was to be moist was dry. What was to be dry was mushy. Everything was over-salted and I'm sure my blood pressure jumped a wee bit. The side of "gourmet broccolini" was grilled to the point where an elderly person could have gummed their way through it. Oh, and did I mention there was salt on those too? Too much salt? All righty then. So I guess if you are seeking a strip mall ambiance, with sadly slow (which I didn't even touch upon) service, salt, dried up food, mushy food, salt, horrid preparation....oh, and salt. Then Tommy Bahama's should be homebase! The kicker is I spent as much as I would at a gourmet establishment on the mainland in Napa as I did at this ridiculous place. For me, I'd rather go down the street to the Kihei Cafe and grab a bowl of fried rice and bacon. (Mmmmm....bacon.)

    Enough has been said about consistently good food and drinks at the Cafe. Saba Steak Salad is great at lunch. The Sea Bass on Asparagus stellar at dinner. The crab bisque sublime at any time. I work nearby and come here frequently and am quite happy with the place BUT here's a tip .... From 4:00 until 6:00 and after 9:00pm every day Tommy's has the most amazing "Attitude Adjustment Period" Happy hour on steroids. Cocktails are $6 or $8 which includes great wine by the glass. They have a half dozen or more small plates - coconut shrimp, sliders, fish tacos, quesadillas and more for only $6. The best value in Wailea. Great for the budget conscious or if you just want a light meal. You'll love it. Just sit at a table please so I can still get a seat at the bar!

    We make at least 1 trip per year to the Big Island and always look forward to lunch and shopping at the Tommy Bahama cafe in Mauna Lani. Our most recent visit in October 2010 was a huge disappointment. We ordered cocktails and the prix fixe lunch menu which listed 3 courses. When our bill came, we were charged $12 EACH for the key lime pie. We of course complained to the manager, who explained that he has argued with "corporate" over the amibguity of the menu, but the pie is not included in the prix fixe lunch. With some arguing, he deducted the price of one slice of pie. 1. The key lime pie was average. Good--just okay. In fact, I would be hard pressed to find a piece of pie worth $12. Tom Douglas Coconut Cream comes to mind (which is $35 for a whole pie)--but TB or any other key lime is a distant...well, it's distant. Not even close to 2nd. 2. Who in the freaking heck charges $12 for a slice of pie. I mean, nothing special about it. Your average 1/8 slice. No whip. No fresh fruit garnish. Nada. Pie on plate. Sheesh. 3. When you list PRIX FIXE at the top of your menu and 3 courses underneath, the assumption is clearly that all is included. There was no "and may we suggest for dessert at additional charge...ask your server...". Despite the argument from the manager, this is blatant lying, deception, and really, really, really poor service. 4. I've been in the restaurant biz a long time and it was pretty clear to me that both the waitress and the manager were out and out LYING and knew full well that--as others have apparently been--we would be upset with a PIE BILL tantamount to 1/3 of our bill...of course some ditz in the corporate office who is a pencil-pusher and knows NOTHING about the hospitality service is likely most to blame. Actually, the waitress was very competent and I hope she's found a position where her type of skill is more appreciated and customers are treated as a valuable commodity. 5. We will never return and will not recommend TB's and will go out of our way--in the same manner that TB went out of their way to deceive us--and leave this restaurant review in as many places as we can find.

    If you want to leave your resort to eat in Wailea, but don't feel like driving, the Tommy Bahama Cafe is the perfect solution. It is located in the back of the Shops at Wailea. The other options in close proximity are Cheeseburger Island Style (poor reviews) and the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I like the ambiance at Tommy Bahama. They often have live music (they did on both of our recent visits) and the service is very friendly. If you have to wait for a table, you can always shop in the Tommy Bahama store next door or grab a drink at the bar. To start, the drinks are fantastic. They have a huge menu of tropical drinks that all sound delicious. I tried TB's Rum and Coke, which had Tommy Bahama rum in it. It was very good. The ladies got tropical smoothies of some type and both were delicious. The food is very flavorful. Almost everything is unique on the menu with various creative sauces. The portions are large. I have tried a few different entrees and appetizers. The Loki Loki Tuna Poke was very good. The Sanibel Stuffed Chicken stands out in my memory as being special. The baby back ribs were also tasty. For dessert, you can't go wrong with any of the options (from what I remember) but the Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake was delicious. They have a completely different menu for lunch. I have not been for lunch since 2006, so I cannot tell you what to expect. I can tell you that I wouldn't hesitate to go back for lunch, dinner or drinks.

    We went here twice in a row after my great culinary experience the first time. Really great service; enough that they remembered that my anniversary was the following day upon our return for the 2nd reservation. Everyone knew from the hostess to the busboy and they gave me a free dessert. My first entree was the jerk pork...was pleasantly surprised at the volume of pork...couldn't finish it all...it was soft and succulent...not dry which is easy to do with pork. My husband had the shrimp and scallops of which he cleaned his plate. My entree on the following day was the braised short rib also soft and succulent and plenty of it. The mashed potatoes were also creamy and plentiful. My spouse had the crab-stuffed shrimp of which he cleaned his plate once again. Oh I forget, we also had two appetizers which were phenomenal: the ceviche which was mahi-based as well as the chicken lollipops were incredible and I was quite satisified. Will definitely return to Tommy Bahama.

    I've eaten at the OC location many times. It had a nice locally slanted menu. The ahi ceviche was not as flavorful as I hoped, and it seemed, I don't know, "old" perhaps. Otherwise the food was ok. They were though super nice to our 2.5 year old, and the rest of the meal was on par.

    plantains. I know I should wait to detail how wonderful the plantains were served, tasted and showcased, but won't. My sister was excited to view these on the menu, as well as share these with the rest of the family. Sunburnt, weary from window shopping, exhausted - but still grinning because of beautiful Hawaii, the location at the top level over looking the beach is perfect. The light at the end of the tunnel. The cocktails were extreme. Not too much, and a great variety. The most entertainment are the people situated at the bar, and the way the bartendars maneuver in the heat and rush-hour. If I make it back to the area, and I am shopping, I will venture back to this restaurant with my family.

    Let me just start by saying that I had NO clue that Tommy Bahamas had any type of food and beverage service what-so-ever. I thought they only dealt with clothing. Anyways, kudos to them. Haha. I think my experience was a little skewed because our party included about 10 or so, very energetic, talkative people. The service was a little strange. They would take some of our orders and go away, then come back and take more orders and go away again. It was just... odd. But I couldn't complain too much because seriously... the food was bomb. I wish I could have ordered everything on the menu (and maybe one day I will), but for SURE... you have to try the following items: - Pineapple Mojito - South Sea Scallop Sliders (Seriously... if I died right now, I would want to have a Slider from Tommy Bahamas before I passed away OR I would hope that heaven served this dish on a daily basis.) - Whipped Bayou Sweet Potatoes (Speaking of heaven... This dish IS heaven.) - Coconut Shrimp (I don't normally dig coconut-laced food items, but I'm sure everyone else would kill for this dish. I also had a bite of the garlic rice, the plantain combo, and some of Tommy Bahama's complimentary bread with pumpkin butter; all theses dishes were nothing less than yummy. I think the closest Cafe to the Bay Area is in SoCal. I guess I'll just have to make the trip. I know it'll be worth it. Trust me.

    So this place is OK..nothing great. I don't think it's fair to say it is in the $$ bracket as the kids steak was $17! Overall, just ok...staff was decent but there are better places to eat in Maui.

    (3)

  • Nicole B.

    I give this place four stars for ambiance. I really like the theme of the restaurant. The food was also good. We ordered the coconut shrimp to start. I feel like the batter was a little too heavy for shrimp. It felt like it would maybe be good on onion rings. Then I had the tortilla soup, lived that. Hub had the quesadilla and I had to Saba steak salad. They were decent, not fantastic. Heard their key lime pie was awesome so we decided to order it for dessert. it was ok, the crust was a little gummy. I am used to cafe rio's key lime pie which is unbelievably good. So my judgement here is probably a little biased.

    All references to hit-or-miss service, price or "campy" chain restaurants aside, we always seem to do well when we go here. We come to Maui every year and this is a place we always seem to end up at. With that said, this place is not without its plusses and minuses. This time we went to TB's the first day as the whole family wanted "umbrella drinks" to celebrate our vacation, and the staff accommodated the kids juices with the umbrellas. We were not too hungry, so we just did appetizers, which were OK, we had the ahi tacos and the sashimi. We had two mai tai's and the kids had chicken fingers, all ok. The stunner was the bill, at $78.00. A tad pricey for just appetizers. Two nights later, we went for dinner. I had the farm to table mahi magi which had some local mushrooms and baby bok choi in a miso broth, and it was fantastic. I'm a carb guy and there was no starch on the plate, but what a filling and savory dish, I'd get it again in a heartbeat. My wife had the butterfish and noted it blew the doors off of the butterfish at Gannons. Service was terrific as our particular server was super helpful and did not let us want for anything, including a 1/2 price bottle of wine. (she mistook an offer that ended in July, but gave us the break anyhow). I would recommend this place as a consistent bet.

  • Karen A.

    Very good for a chain restaurant. Atmosphere was a bit noisy. We chose to share multiple appetizers rather than order entrees. We enjoyed all of them. Very good prawns and ahi tuna.

    (4)

  • Hessaire G.

    My husband and I really liked this restaurant, it was great food, though a little pricey for portion size. We were sitting outside so it was a little dark and I didn't notice until half way through the meal that my chicken wasn't fully cooked. Luckily I didn't get sick after! Anyway, they gave me a new meal and dessert on the house. The waitress was great, I'd probably go again despite the semi-negative experience as long as someone else way paying! :)

    Tommy Bahama's Cafe....hmmm...do i go there to buy an overpriced shirt? Do i get a free glass when I order a fancy tropical drink like at Planet Hollywood? Unlike PH or Hard Rock Cafe -type restaurants, I didnt feel like that at this one. My dad wanted to meet us here for lunch one day and said this was one of the places he most frequents with clients and such, so wanted to bring us here. We got there a little after 11am and it was pretty empty so the wait staff was very attentive. The waiter dude went so far as to move our umbrella over so that the sun wasnt in my dad's eyes when we didnt ask him to! +1 star. However, my dad's a local so he happens to like the sun in his face. whatever....it was a nice gesture. So i got the pulled pork sammich and my wife got the chicken sammich. Both were really good and came with killer fries. The pork was onolicious and sloppy but good sloppy! Overall a good place to eat good food outdoors. Plus its within walking distance of The Grand and you can shop afterwards!

  • Jason G.

    I wasn't impressed. Just another excuse to have overpriced, themed food in a tourist area. The bisque was uneventful, the plantain chips were too greasy, and I'm so underwhelmed it's killing me to even write this much about this place. Blah.

    (2)

  • Beth M.

    This restaurant really surprised me, in a good way. BF and I both ordered a steak salad, and my first reaction was "great, another $60 meal for two salads in Maui". Oh no...this salad had a full slab of steak on it, the best dressing I've had, some shitakee mushroom crisps (must learn how to make or where to buy), and some tomatoes and potatoes. Unusual combination yes, but made for one of, if not the, best and most-filling salad I've ever had. I'm not even going to talk about the butterscotch dessert. Two weeks later I'm still a little too full to think about it. If you can get past the Hawaiian shirts and typical Tommy Bahama decor, step in side for a bite to each and you'll be pleasantly pleased.

  • Al P.

    We went here last week for lunch with the family. The food was excellent. I had the hamburger. It was incredible. The Mango Ice Tea was top notch. I would recommend the crab cake appetizer as well. They are going to remodel the restaurant next month and I will come back next time I am in Maui. Andrew our server was good as well. The only negative here were the high prices. Lunch at Neiman's at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu was cheaper!!!

    Pretty darned good. Good happy hour, yummy cocktails, nice location.

  • Genevieve D.

    We came here for happy hour and were not disappointed. $4 beers are a good deal in wailea. The appetizers were good too...fish tacos amazing. We ordered the tuna tower and ribs for dinner. All were delicious. We'd come here again, but probably just for happy hour.

    (4)

  • Shannon A.

    I really enjoyed my meal here. The service was good. The overall feeling of the place was comfortable and relaxing. I especially enjoyed my macadamia nut crusted fish and the pineapple creme' brulee. It is located in a shopping center so you don't get any great views or anything like that but if you feel up to shopping afterwards there are plenty of stores to check out after you eat. Definitely worth it to give this place a try.

    (4)

  • Hannah P.

    Went here for a last lunch on the island. I'm glad I did. I had a great meal and our server was very accommodating. I asked for a modification with my salad, it came out with kale when I has asked for arugala. However, my server was super apologetic and fixed it right away. The artichoke we ordered for an appetizer was not great, definitely not worth 14 dollars. But that's my only complaint. I recommend the lemon drop if you are looking for a martini. It was amazing and so pretty!

    (4)

  • Brook P.

    We actually had great crispy fish sandwiches (perfectly cooked beer batter) that had home made tarter sauce on the side. Why not more stars? The service was pretty bad...the waitress wasn't that busy but we hardly saw her...and then she would forget if asked a question/request. Also, the prices are on the high side (think Grand wailea prices) and for sandwich/burger fare at a retail store it's hard to swallow.

    (3)

  • Ben C.

    We hit this place on every trip too. Happy hour started at 2, so that made a nice late lunch for us. Decent drink choices. The sliders were perfect. We also had the quesidias. The coconut shrimp as, always good too. Plus you can go shopping next door afterwards.

    (4)

  • Kris I.

    We went for dinner. Beautiful decor, friendly staff, great food. We tried the ahi tacos & they were fabulous! My husband & I had the specials; filet mignon meatball pasta dish & I had the Ono which was served seared. Both were very good w/unbelievable flavors that complimented the main ingredient. Pasta was done al dente (perfectly according to my husband.) I would have liked my fish cooked a little more but it was still fabulous. Drinks were made well & staff was excellent. Manager took time to make sure all was well.

  • Curtis A.

    Best. Ahi. Ever. Awesome lunch and the ahi poke tower was impeccable. We had a stale and fishy one at Kimo's yesterday and I was afraid of ordering another This was a memorable experience. Thanks Tommy Bahama's!

  • Nick F.

    Coming from Australia, we really didn't know what to expect from a restaurant like Tommy's. We were presently surprised. We were seated outside on a beautiful Maui evening. The live music was great, old tunes, perfect for dinner. Our server Jason, was from New York, very helpful and entertaining. The food is fresh, and not overly rich. Jason told us to get the coconut shrimp... And wow they are awesome! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Maui.

  • Josh S.

    A bit of a surprise but probably one of my favorite meals in Maui. Again, optimal location to our hotel (next door) and our large group had free run of the menu which was nice. The wife ordered the coconut shrimp to start and shared them with me. Always tasty. I had the Poke tower and the cowboy ribeye. Both items were pretty delicious. The drinks were also great as I downed a couple rum babalu's and a bronx bomber. For dessert I had the creme brulee in a pineapple which was also great. Fairly flawless night and delicious food. Would highly recommend even for a "chain."

  • Jane J.

    After posting my original review, I was contacted by the Regional Manager who was concerned about our initial visit. He assured us that what happened was not their usual service, must be a mistake on someone's part and to give them another chance. Our second visit was TOP NOTCH all the way. Managers Megan and Chad along with our waiter Jake, took great care of us. We had a wonderful dinner...with one of the best steaks I have ever had, with my husband and daughter had equally delicious snapper entrees! Desserts were heavenly. One of the BEST dinners we had during our vacation! We will definitely come back the next time we come to Maui....am guessing next year! :) Management REALLY cares about the service and food at Tommy Bahamas! Make this a MUST stop when in Maui!

    We came to Tommy Bahamas about five years ago, we have never stopped talking about how amazing the food and service was. We revisited today and I can't not express how amazing the food was again! Blackened Fish Tacos & Burgers were too die for. We sat at the bar & Emma & Kylene were our bartenders they were super friendly, accommodating and were working above and beyond to make sure all the guests were taken care of. We noticed that they worked well as a team & were making every aspect run smoothly. Major props to them & Tommy Bahamas! Thanks for the great second experience. We will be back.

    It began by sitting in a chair that broke and I fell to the floor, and I am not obese, I weigh 110 lbs, then we had to ask for the bread, then bread plates, then water refills, our appetizers came at various times and the appetizer plates were never bussed, the entrees came at various intervals, my son's steak was raw and my niece never got her entree and still the appetizer plates were never bussed, in the end the entrees were never bussed although they brought dessert and the bill was over $400. Not worth it at all. Very disappointed.

  • Ashley H.

    Food is awesome, friendly staff (our waitress was super nice!) and fun atmosphere. It is located in the mall though so if you're only in Maui for a short time I would only go here if the weather wasn't nice and a sunset table view wasn't possible! ;) I got the crab stuffed prawns... Really good! I also had a coconut martini which was awesome. My boyfriends meal was good too but he just got the jerk chicken... A little boring for my taste! Overall great experience!

    (5)

  • Susan C.

    I think this was the best meal we had on Maui. We arrived at lunch and the restaurant was empty. Although the prices are a little high, we split their chicken Caesar salad and it was delicious. And, the freshly baked rolls were an added bonus! Stop in!

It felt like we were so welcomed there -mahi mahi- just delicious! - stuffed chicken- wow, better than you would expect on the islands! -live music- makes for a great, relaxing night Not great - snapper wasn't the best Overall, it was such a wonderful dinner and experience!

    (5)

  • Matthew E.

    I wanted to like this place but I felt, compared to other local restaurants, the food was sub-par. The ambience was typical tommy Bahama, if you know what I mean. Most local restaurants are sourcing their food locally and using fresh ingredients. Tommy Bahama tasted like a TGIFridays meal with a higher price. Too much salt, not even Hawaiian sea salt, and not enough love from the chef. That's not to say it was terrible but it wasn't good. I'd recommend any other resutraunt in the area over this one for the price.

    We loved this place, food, drinks and service were all excellent. We had a great table outside in the shade which is what we asked for. We had the pork burger with mango sauce...to die for. That was by far the best burger ever and I consider myself a burger snob. The lump crad salad was refreshing and sweet. We said we were going to split the meals which they did for us, without asking. Pina colada cake...intoxicating. Service was spot on.

    I was on the fence on whether or not to stop here. So glad I did. . My wife and I had a awesome dinner on the patio and were surprised by the unique dishes, wine choice, and friendly professional service. Our waitress was from the Seattle area and she was outstanding and made great recommendations. The fish was very fresh and the dish with curry was delicious. I ordered a salad and and asked to customized it with chicken, They serve a cool little bead basket with interesting flavored butter. Nice location and it's a close walk to the hotels next door.

  • Annie O.

    Happy hour? No problem. Food was delicious. Service was mediocre at best. Maybe it's just me. Anyway, We had 4 of 6 happy hour starters and each was amazing. We started with 2 expecting to be disappointed but ended up with much more. Can't wait to have dinner here!

    (4)

  • Lupe R.

    Had dinner with the family here. Our waiter was very cool and explained the menu and gave his recommendations on menu items. For drinks I had the Pineapple Paradisio which was delicious! Tasted great but the alcohol will creep up so don't drink too many. The dinner was great and they serve big portions. Whether you get the chicken, pork or fish, you will not be disappointed.

  • Arnie Beauyet R.

    Longhis should really take a good look at the awesome service from your upstairs neighbor Tommy Bahamas. From the moment we walked in, we were pleasantly greeted by Jade. This was followed by the equally pleasant and attentive service from Patrick. Sad to say but Longhis was once a gastronomic institution to reckon with. Rock on Tommy Bahamas!

  • Christine T.

    The lollipop chicken is and always will be heaven for me. Our family loves this place and over the course of a week's vacation, we have been known to go several times. My daughter lives for the artichoke. My son lives for the burger. My other daughter lives for both the bread and the filet medallions. Hubby lives for any/all appetizer that you put in front of him--the crab cakes and the coconut shrimp never stand a chance when he's at the table. I usually get a salad and fill up on the heaven/lollipops. Always great service, always yummy food, always a staple for our family.

    (5)

  • Steve S.

    Best steak in Maui. My friend managed the shopping center and on his recommendation tried it. Wow the blue cheese with the steak sauce just killer. Fiancée ordered cheeseburger she lived it. Price is a little high but I don't mind paying it if food stays consistently good like this. Will be back!!!!!

  • Krista G.

    Great food! I got the Parmesan encrusted Sanibel chicken, and it was amazing. Great flavor and well prepared. My husband and I got Martina's- a coconut one and grapefruit one and we're both very good. Great atmosphere, casual attire and very friendly staff.

  • Queen G.

    Whoa! Damn good! lol! I think I can keep this review simple. Make a reservation and be prepared for your taste buds to be pleased. Customer service was fantastic. Drinks were amazing and the food was...smh...pleasantly flavorful and amazing. I don't give 5 stars to restaurants easily...but I seriously don't have anything negative to say. The ambiance was a little loud...but the mood was still sexy and classy...but yet still casual. If you are in Maui, I would def come here at least once.

    Ooooooo ahhhhh mmmnnnn are the sounds of my foodgasm over this divine little cafe. What more can you love about it? It's situated on the second floor of a chic and sophisticated small shopping centre in beautiful Wailea, and you're seated outdoors in the warm, golden Hawaiian sun. Ahhhhh. The fresh sea breeze and the spice of sea salt in the air is intoxicating, and the food here? Even more so. I got the Habana Cabana Pork Sandwich. I usually don't go for pulled pork, but just by its description: "slow roasted pulled pork. . .with blackberry brandy bbq sauce" and piled high with shoestring onions that are unbelievably crispy and buttery brown was too good to pass up. Yuuuummm, it was heaven. And near the tables is this fresh seafood bar, with oysters glistening silver in half shells on a bed of sparkling clear ice. I don't eat raw oysters, but I'm sure those who partook in the fare delighted in it. Mmn, the sandwich was sooo good. I wanted another one after I devoured mine. In fact, I think I was slyly rubbing my finger in what was left of the blackberry bbq glaze on my empty plate. . .trying to get every single morsel into my mouth. Yumyuuuuum.

    I think this Tommy Bahama Cafe is the quintessential TB Cafe. The cool ocean breezes blowing, the open, bright interior and patio, the palm trees... You relax just stepping in the restaurant. Their drinks are phenomenal, as is everything else. And then you get the bill, and have a heart attack.

    Food was pretty good, small portion. We went there a few weeks ago. Nothing stood out so I didn't remember much. We ordered their combo dinner because a la cart would be quite pricy.

  • Lorna W.

    We just got back from Maui this week and were very pleased with our dinner out at Tommy Bahama's. Our server was friendly, attentive yet unobtrusive and our food was great. The Mai Tai's were the best we'd had since we got to the island, our food was excellent and they even had live music playing on the deck (but not so loud as to conflict with conversation). Although it was not cheap, it was an excellent value. We'd go again in a minute and suggest that you do too.

  • M M.

    We've eaten at Tommy's all over the place, but this one was exceptionally good. The Prix Fixe menu at $39 is a great deal. The coconut shrimp are the best, and don't forget the butterscotch dessert (it's even better than the pina colada cake). The coconut martini is delicious, but don't even think of driving afterwards...very strong! The staff was helpful, and the manager was very friendly and took time to talk with us about our meal and our vacation in general. Great place...now I just wish it had an ocean view!

  • D F.

    This place only got three stars because the service is terribly slow. Very nice serves just lacked urgency. The bartenders were simply terrible. Were the bartenders sleeping on the job? The food saved this place. The food was great. The only dish sent back was a dried chicken pasta throw together. The chicken was horribly dry and they comped the meal. The seafood is excellent. I had the lemongrass encrusted Ahi which was excellent. Get a side of the wasabi butter to go with the dish. Great dish! Trendy casual atmosphere with a great patio. They had some an acoustic guitarist which was excellent and set the mood.

  • Deb D.

    I am in love with the Tommy Bahama Saba Steak Salad. I'm afraid to try anything else for fear of being disappointed. THIS salad is the best salad on earth - it has a bit of everything in it from the fried shiitake to the grilled potatoes and the dressing is perfect! I only wish they'd hurry up and open up a restaurant in Honolulu so I can enjoy this perfect dish more often!

  • Ron O.

    Was visiting Maui for just 5 days, and ate here our last night. Turned out to be our best meal during our visit. A little on the pricey side, but they just introduced a Prix Fixe menu ($39 for 3 courses) which made it a good value. All 4 in our party went with the Prix Fixe route and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered...Ahi Poke, Coconut Shrimp (REALLY the best on the island), Seared Ahi, Filet Mignon, Sauteed Shrimp & Scallop, Key Lime Pie,...If it weren't for the high prices (typically $25-35 per entree) and lack of ocean views, I would have given this place 5 stars.

    We stayed at the Fairmont Kea Lani for our recent trip to Maui in May, 2010. Tommy Bahama's Restaurant & Bar is located in the Shops at Wailea - which is located a short distance from our hotel. We went to Tommy's for dinner one night out of desperation - you'd be surprised at how many poor meals we had during our trip - and we're really pleasantly surprised - so we came back the following night. Food is fresh and served promptly - and our server (especially the first night) went above and beyond the call of duty, even escorting my 4 year old daughter and myself to the washroom because it was so jam-packed at the bar. If you go for happy hour - the drinks and appies are 1/2 price - something we'll be sure to take advantage of on our next trip.

    Love this place. The pulled pork sandwhich is to die for!!! We ate here when we stayed in Wailea once. Nice locale. Not on the beach, but open air, views and fun island-y setting. I'd go back again for sure and I highly recommend it.

    Amazing happy hour! The fish tacos were awesome and such a huge portion for $6!! I also really like the sliders! The ahi poke tower and fried goat cheese are a must have. I love the creative cocktail list. The grapefruit basil martini and the blackberry basil ginger rum concoction were my favorites! The entrees looked pretty decent, but the pupus seemed to have more to offer for someone looking for a little more creative flavors.

    saturday the 24th around 4pm... this is only based on service.... we go in there to get something to eat and drink... walk here from the grand wailea resort... my friend is standing by the bar waiting for me with a cup in his hand of watered down ice, while i go to the bathroom... i come out of the bathroom and he says come on we r leaving, we r giong to longhis... as we walk out i say why? he tells me the bartender says he cant have the cup in the restaurant... so my friend says, its ice water... bartender says no, not even water, then goes to the manager, says something... the dip shit manager comes to my friend literally grabs the glass out of his hand... what the hell did they think was in a plastic see thru cup with less than an inch of watered down ice water?? he probably would have tossed it anyway once we sat down, but the way this manager handled the situation, made him lose a customer.. so we went to longhis for the next four days in a row, spending no less than 80 bucks each time we went... good job mr. manager... where did you people learn your people skills??? you are a tourist restaurant... keep up your shitty skills, and word will get around, and then noone will want to eat there.

    Not a bad place to go if you're in a pinch. The food is good, but nothing to write home about. A little on the pricey side for what you get. Nice feeling inside.

    WAY too pricey for a simple lunch. I had the ahi/avocado app, which was good, but in my opinion, not worth $20. On top of the decent, over-priced food, you don't get a view!!! you literally stare at the back of a hotel -- no ocean, no beach, no nothing. service was SLOWWWWWWWW

    The Tommy Bahama Cafe looks and feels exactly how you'd imagine the retail stores version of a cafe to be like. And by that I mean the neutral, greens and yellows, the bamboo, the bartenders in their 'aloha' type shirts...you know exactly what I'm referring to. The price tag matches the retail price tags too funny enough. It's placed on the 2nd floor of the Wailea Shopping Center, so you have a pretty casual atmosphere. We sat at the bar with a few friends and had the bartender make us his specialty drinks; the mojitos are delicious and dangerous! Everything was so expensive that we decided to order a few appetizers, which included the over-priced but very yummy quesadilla. There are a ton of other places on the island that you can get just as good, if not way better food at, for an even better price, but if you're looking for the user-experience factor, and by that I mean you're a total tourist, than plop your ass down at the bar and enjoy! :)

    We had a large party and Holly H. did a great job of accomodating us. The kitchen was another story though. Apparently, noone told the manager that this place was a restaurant that should serve cooked food to their clientelle. Three steaks were sent back as under cooked, a foolish thing to do and then not take care of the patron. The manager did nothing to take care of the situation. If you go here ask to sit with Holly H. and make sure that if you do order a steak that they cook it enough.

  • Hey La P.

    I'd have to say that this place was a bit of a disappointment. We had a really sweet, attentive waitress and there was some beautiful live music but the food was really lackluster for the price you paid (have I mentioned that it's in a mall??). Our bill was over $100 and we only got two entrees, a house salad, an iced tea, and a bottle of water. It also didn't help that we were sitting next to one of the most pretentious, ridiculous families I have ever seen. But then again, it was in Wailea. Maybe in a desperate situation I would return here but I will definitely try to go elsewhere next time I'm in the area.

    They charged me $4 for a cup of milk for my 2 year old! I get the whole gouge the tourists thing, but $4 for milk is just tacky. The food is good, but way to expensive even for Maui. I've been several times and I don't consider this our "fancy dinner" place. This is the place we go to when we need a little break from fish and big meals. If you eat there for dinner ask for the lunch menu, the food is better for this type of restaurant and you will save some money.

  • Nick P.

    Surprisingly good for a campy chain restaurant. We ate out a lot, all over the island, over the course of two weeks, and this was one of the only places we went to twice. The food and service were consistently good and the prices reasonable. The MaiTais were also surprisingly good, with fresh juice and good balance. I'd recommend the kaluah pork wrap special if they have it.

    I apologize for taking almost 8 months to write this, but its been a long year! Needless to say, I was in Maui for a week in June 2008 and this was an amazing restaurant. We had a huge party and they did an excellent job with our service (minus one waitress who had attitude). I loved all my food, it was super fresh, and great atmosphere!! That, and it was nice and close to our hotel (well, close enough!) I would definitely recommend having some fresh fish of some sort, it was delish!

  • Scott W.

    The food here is not pricey compared to other restaurants in Wailea, if you stick to sandwiches, appetizers, and entree salads, all of which are more than enough food and are very good (I had the chicken sandwich and the ahi poke appetizer - the poke was fantastic). The dinner bill was $120 for four people: two sandwiches, two entree salads, a drink, and a dessert. Opt for a $38 entree though, and you'll overpay. Great live music, lively but not annoying atmosphere. Of all the Wailea restaurants I've been to: Spago, Ko, Longhi's, I prefer Tommy Bahama's so far.

    OMG! Easily said the BEST cheeseburger on Maui, Hawaii, mainland and I am confidant to say THE WHOLE WORLD!! I don't know where Tommy raises his young calves, but god damn. Needless to say the meat is grrrr-eat! Sandwiched between a sliced bun which does not have a drop of grease. This bun is sooooo freshly baked and lacking meat grease you could wring it out like a sponge and not a drip would prevail. Before you get this heavenly sent sandwich, you get to rip into a bread appetizer with pumpkin spice butter. goo-goo-gaga

    3.5 stars rounded up. I didn't know Tommy Bahama serves food? This is surprising, I always thought they sold over-sized shirts. When I got off the plane and was famished from the flight since whatever crap airline I was on didn't serve food. I stopped by here for lunch, when it is really 4:30pm California time. That explains why I'm so hungry. I had some seared rare tuna with organic greens, quite delicious. The food is very good, but since the shops here are all supposed to be high end, I think there was an LV store there, I expected the high prices. It wasn't really that bad, probably what you pay if you go to Santana Row in San Jose, CA, but it's much much nicer. There's a nice balcony outdoor seating area, live music by a guy playing a guitar, and this was all on a Thursday afternoon, very very relaxing.

    This is the place for lunch if you are staying in Wailea. If you are staying anywhere else in Maui be sure not to miss eating at this restaurant! The drinks and food are top notch! Atmosphere and service is first class! We are NEVER disappointed at Tommy Bahama's!

    (5)

  • Bryan B.

    Maui Revealed puts it well when they describe it as overpaying for good quality, similar to their shirts. However, reading through the menu makes you want to order everything, as everything sounds so good. Same goes for their fun tropical drinks. Everything was very good, especially the coconut fried shrimp that were the size of small child's hand. Their ribs are tasty too, along with the fresh fish entrees and steaks. In general, a good spot.

  • C O.

    My wife and I love the tortilla soup here---if it weren't for that we'd probably not come here as often as we do. We've dined at a few of the Tommy Bahama's around the country and can report they are all fairly similar in service, quality, and decor. The prices in Wailea, however, are attrocious. Everything in Wailea/Kihei is expensive, but the value for what you are getting here is just a little too low. Don't get me wrong---the food is great, the music is fantastic, the drinks are strong, and the service is wonderful. You'd be better off, however, driving out of the resort areas and dining in Kihei or Kahului.

  • Jon T.

    Not a cheap place to eat or drink. But, the quality is really good. I was extremely suprised when my local friend suggested we go here for dinner. I didn't even know they had restaurants and figured it would be a tourist trap. Its in a mall after all. But a few things made the place stand out: Great bar and bartenders. Incredible selection of rums. Nice strong rum drinks. Great appetizers. The coconut shrimp was by far the best version of this dish I've ever had. Great crab bisque. Really exceptional. Good entres. Pricey, but tasty. Atmosphere is really nice, particularly outside. They had a woman playing guitar and singing as well, and she was actually pretty good! Basically, a good place to hang with some friends or for a romantic dinner.

  • ann t.

    By far the best happy hour on the island. Great Highend bar food with some of the best drinks to be found. We went 3 times on our last 9 day trip. And that's about par for our last 4 trips to the island. Need I say more.

  • Liboo K.

    OK, I know the shops at Wailea are supposed to be expensive, but I thought this place was over the top with prices for somewhat mediocre food. Entrees were in the $25-$30+ range. I did enjoy their Blonde beer, however!

  • Frank N.

    Great place to have a nice meal. The decor, service and food is awesome. They usually have a live performer and they are very good. Make sure you have a reservation and be prepared to enjoy paradise. Its located in a very upscale mall and my experience was just awesome. A must visit if you're in Maui.

  • Andrew K.

    I think I my expectations were set too high by other reviews and we wanted to try a new place to dine. After eating here, I don't think the food held up to par against places like Mama's Fish House or Nick's Fishmarket. It certainly doesn't beat places like Ruth's Chris Steak House next door or anywhere else when it comes to service. In fact Nick's outdoes the service at Tommy's. For the price rating, it is easy to go over the $50 per person which is a Nick's or Ruth's rating, if it was not for the prefixed menu. The coconut shrimp was okay, but not the rave I expected. I had the curry scallops and shrimp and when it came, there were only 2 of each. I got more filet mignon from the Ruth's Chris for the same 3 course menu. The wife had seared ahi, but it was nothing awe inspiring to write home about. I will say the service was very good, not above and beyond. Although the house was pretty packed, I still think you can do better for the food and money somewhere else. Even if you have to go to Ruth's, it's not that much more, especially when they have a $40 prefixed menu as well.

    Forget that this place has a ridiculous name and just try it--you'll be pleased you did. It's a yummy place for lunch (never had dinner there) and you'll be very satisfied whether you order the burger (my hubby's fave) or the Aruba salad (my fave). The only negative is that it's not cheap.

  • Russ S.

    I was really hesitant to eat at this restaurant. How could a restaurant named after a clothing brand be good rigjt? Well I was pleasantly surprised by this place. My experience started with the very kind and more beautiful hostess who seated us on the deck outside. Our server Luke knew the menu and explained eveything with precision. I had the Kona Coffee rubbed ribeye which was dynamite. It was accompanied by a medly of red potatos, corn, onion and applewood smoked bacon. It was smokey delish and I could have eaten that by itself. My wife had Carribean rubbed mahi which she would not stop ranting about. For desert we had the pineapple creme brulet presented in the actual pineapple. It was creamy perfection. I will go again to sample more things on the menu. So for those of you who might normally avoid a place luke this, give it a shot. You won't regret it. Oh the are gluen free friendly too.

    I mean come on, it's Tommy Bahama. The food is ridiculously good. It comes with a price tag but it is a price tag that you are happy to pay. Great live music. Excellent drinks. The flavor of the food is top notch. Our server was happy to answer our questions and explain the dishes. He was very good at making some suggestions while not being too pushy. We ate here on our honeymoon and were delighted to spend an evening here at Tommy Bahamas.

    This place was amazing. Decided to try last minute during our stay in Maui. Great service,great food, and wonderful atmosphere. I am allergic to macadamia nuts like deathly allergic!! And in Maui everything has macadamia nuts. And Tommy Bahamas was no exception. As soon as I let our server know my allergy he and the rest of the restaurant team were extremely accommodating. They specifically cleaned and prepared my entree on a clean macadamia nut free cooking station! The chef came out with my entree and let me know it was safe to eat Ensuring the safety of my meal. How cool was that?! We ordered the scallop sliders so amazing! Great flavor and the scallops were fresh. I ordered the fillet with mash potatoes in burgundy wine sauce and fresh veggies. My steak was cooked perfectly as I ordered it med rare. My husband ordered the shrimp stuffed crab over rice and it was amazing!!! Everything was fresh! Our server was awesome!!! we had a very enjoyable experience. Skip Momma's fish house and and go straight to Tommy Bahamas same menu better food, service, and attitude!

  • Shayna L.

    I started w/the Coconut Martini - frothy & perfectly flavored. Every single bite of dinner was fabulous. We had the crab bisque, lobster ravioli (only 4 ravioli per/order), beet & goat cheese salad & even the rolls w/the cinnamon nutmeg butter was great. We were in rich food heaven. We had read reviews on the Key Lime Pie & they were correct. It was excellent & we're had Key Lime Pie up & down the Keys. The only downside was dinner was very expensive - that's why 4 stars. We shared all of the above, all together we had 2 drinks, 1 soup, 1 salad, 1 entree, 1 dessert & 1 coffee. One plain cup of coffee was $4.25. Our total bill was $130 w/tip. All in all, service was great & we loved what we had, but even for a tourist restaurant, it was just too expensive for us. If we hadn't shared, our bill would have been well over $200. But, for one night, it was great!

  • Michelle D.

    I was completely wowed by this place! We heard they had good fish tacos but I was thinking it would be just another restaurant that charges double because they can. Well, I didn't mind paying the high prices because the food was such a pleasant surprise! We got the ahi taco appetizer, the blackened fish tacos, the crispy fish sandwich and the small key lime pie. All of it was really good - definitely go there if you have a craving for fish tacos!

  • Ian M.

    Went for a quick dinner before leaving the island....it was pretty busy, around 4 or so in the afternoon, the Hostess was pleasant, not a long wait. Waited several minutes for our waiter to appear, he was aloof at the table, not a great attitude at all, very cold and not very personable at all. ordered several apps......first problem......the shrimp came with wire, yes wire in one of them, the manager did re-fire another batch for us, thank you. Dinner was reasonable, overpriced....... Upon leaving, we were offered free desserts for the App mess.....we didn't want them....so the apps were removed from the check and we were given some free app cards for our use the time we go to a TB restaurant. Second problem, once we got back Stateside.....we discovered that our CC was rung up for the incorrect amount.....we split the check with another couple and find out that the waiter rang up the full on our credit card.....wonder what happened to the $$$ that the other couple left? the matter was eventually resolved, money refunded, but the damage has been done, sorry, its our second time there and the first time was extremely disappointed in the Key Lime Pie.... it was bland and not what i was expecting from what folks had said. Sorry probably wont go back......Love Maui though.

    Just flat out a very cool place. We started with coconut shrimp for our appetizer, then the beet salad and ahi tacos all I would highly recommend. For entrees jerk pork tenderloin and Mahi Mahi both had great sauces that paired well with the meat. We ordered the Chocolate and Coconut cakes the rounded out an outstanding dinner.

    The service is great. We dined here twice during our stay. The first time I rated 4 stars. The second time was very disappointing. The fish tacos were mediocre at best. The coconut shrimp was good. The crab cake was awful. My kids didn't like their dinners, either. It's a chain and proved itself to be just that

    Four star review because this is really good food for a casual chain restaurant - it's not4 or 5 star cuisine and the service was good - if you want an up scale burger place with some nice additions to the menu then this is the place for you. I highly recommend the tortilla soup and their bread service is very good. If you want a nice medium scale restaurant for lunch or dinner this place is worth a visit.

  • Jonny W.

    Alway one of the best spots to go until they took away happy hour. Pupus where half off after 9pm with some great drink prices. We still go in from time to time, because the bar tenders are GREAT!!! Plus the TB store is next door and it's fun to check out the new stuff that comes in.

    Had a wonderful dinner with my wife. We sat on the lanai and listened to some great live music. The staff was all extremely helpful.

    Took the kids here for dinner, and it was a hit....great atmosphere out on the balcony, with the lights and the guy playing guitar at just the right volume.

  • Joseph A.

    Had to come here twice for the key lime pie. Much goodness. Most places that have key lime pie serve it fairly dense like most cheesecakes Here it's served here more of a custard almost like a flan. I originally came here for the pina colada cake which Tommy Bahama's Cafe is know for. I thought it was just okay. Hints of rum and a pinapple filling, it reminds me of an upside down cake but with icing. Had a few appetizers also which were okay. Ahi poke tacos were fairly good, however, their well known appetizer, coconut shrimp, wasn't anything special.

    Stopped in for a late lunch and had Dylan as our server. Dylan was great! I enjoyed the chicken sandwich and my boyfriend had the mahi mahi special sandwich... Both were delicious. Key lime pie for dessert was also very good! We liked it so much we went back the next day. We walked from our hotel in the rain around 3:30. We checked in with the hostess and after some confusion she told us they were closing for a private function. Minus a star for the poor second experience.

  • Jennifer C.

    My husband and I chose Tommy Bahamas for our post elopement dinner. We are fairly simple people and going to an over the top fancy restaurant just did not make sense. This was the best meal we have had in the week we have been on Maui, it was exactly what we were looking for. The free champagne and dessert were totally unexpected and even in a crowded restaurant it felt intimate.

  • Katie H.

    So many great things about my experience at TB's tonight. First, our waiter was exceptionally friendly and made the entire experience very pleasant. He was well-read on all the menu items and helped me make the 'tough' cocktail and meal decisions without any fuss. Sold me on the Seared Ahi and the Grapefruit Basil Martini in minutes. Secondly, the bread (and the BUTTER, which had some sort of cinnamon aspect to it) was phenomenal. Just spectacular. Hard to stay away from. Not going to lie, we got another round after dinner because it was THAT good. Our food came in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious and light. My friends ordered the Thai Shrimp & Scallops, which was also on point (I had the Seared Ahi as I mentioned before). I tried parts of my friend's Paella (an August special) and the grilled artichoke side (which had some sort of parmesan & a great lemony cream dip) and everything was delightful. Would absolutely head back there any time. Two thumbs up. Live music was very relaxed and soothing as well.

  • S.L. M.

    How on earth is this place so highly rated? We went because of the Yelp reviews. Perhaps I should have been alarmed that the most commonly cited item was a burger. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine restaurant but it's a chain, nothing particularly special about it. Your view is of the rest of the mall. Get in your car for 5 minutes and go to Sarento's or any of the fine restaurants in the hotels by the beach.

  • Cindy S.

    Pretty good for a resort town. The staff was very nice and helpful. The live music was enjoyable. Great atmosphere. We would have rated this restaurant with 4 stars, but my dish was not very good. Scallops, shrimp with Thai coconut rice - the scallops were fishy, small and crunchy with sand (inedible), the shrimp was over-cooked, but the rice was amazing!! My suggestion to Tommy Bahama - only offer this dish as a special when the scallops are better. Also, I wish the waitress had steered me away from this when I asked her about it (she simply said "the rice is fantastic" or something like that). Short ribs with mashed potatoes - wow! This was great. Highly recommend. Kids mac and cheese - yummmmm! Our daughter chowed down on this.

    Large party of 8 for happy hour / early dinner. Excellent, excellent polished service. Thank you! No issue with a split check. Great deal on the apps and hr drinks....TIP: let the kids order from the Pupu menu unless you want the standard kid menu junk. We really enjoyed the fish tacos, goat cheese, hummus, sliders and the grapefruit and basil martini was delicious. We will be back. Free concerts on Wednesdays as well at the shopping center. Fun

    Celebrating island lifestyle with every sweet thing tropical living has to offer. Seriously, it's like how to guarantee your kid will eat it, put sugar on it. Chicken? Sugar. Rum? Sugar. Fish? Sugar. Steak? Sugar. Naturally, this comes in tropical flavors of pineapple, papaya, mango, and sugar. Plantains? Cinnamon and Sugar! Alleged favorite drink of the waitstaff? Coconut crusted sugarbomb toasted coconut martini. I was really sad no gin was involved on that one. Here's the deal. If you're coming here looking for anything but a middle of the road, themed chain restaurant with stiff drinks, well, you've found your sweet spot. Want true island cuisine? Look elsewhere. Despite what a local might tell you, this is just an upgraded chain restaurant with a tropical theme.

    Went to Tommy Bahama's for a drink the other night with a friend. We just had a couple of sodas and had such a personable waitress, Katie. She was warm and attentive. Gave us our space and yet conversed occasionally. Really enjoyed the musician as well. This is a nice place to spend some time to relax.

    Being in an area which hosts some of the best restaurants in the Pacific, Tommy Bahama's has its work cut out for them in terms of standing out in crowd of award-winning establishments. As a resident of South Maui, I have frequented Tommy's often throughout the years. The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking of this restaurant is the quality of the food: fantastic. However, as of the past year, my opinion has now shifted that my first thought is of smaller portions and watered down drinks. I still have hope that it will return to its way as a leader in the Wailea restaurant scene, but unfortunately the last few visits have left me a with a sour taste.

  • Josie W.

    Best happy hour! I have been coming here almost every night for their happy hour because it refreshing seeing decent prices in Maui. So far my favorite things are the coconut cloud (great martini) then their ahi crisp and coconut shrimp soooo worth getting! I did try their scallop sliders which were pretty good, extremely filling as an appetizer. The only bummer is that there is no ocean view but there is a nice patio outside. Will be back!!!

    THIS Tommy Bahama Restaurant was always one of our favorite restaurants in Maui. One year ago I suffered a massive heart attack. Eight stents later doctors discovered i have Celiac Sprue. My restaurant days were over. This is my first return to Maui since my my diagnosis. Life is too short so we decided to give "Tommy" a chance. The gluten options were plentiful. There was no sacrifice of flavor or quality. Chad, YOUR TEAM IS AWESOME! Thanks to Laisha for her warm hospitality and her attention to detail on our behalf. And Andy; Andy we cannot thank you enough for taking such personal care on our first night of vacation in beautiful Maui! Yes we will be returning. We will be returning many more times during this vacation stay! PLEASE REST ASSURED IF YOU SUFFER FROM CELIAC OR CELIAC SPRUE THIS IS YOUR LIFELINE TO FEELING NORMAL AGAIN!

    I am usually not a fan of 'chain' restaurants. So, I wasn't thrilled about going here, but I was actually really pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my experience here. There was great service; fresh bread with this amazing butter that tasted like happiness; amazing cocktails (I savored the coconut martini concoction and they had Kona Brewing Coco Brown on tap); and the coconut shrimp fulfilled my need for this Hawaiian classic. For dessert, the husband and I split a chocolate mini-pie thing that was pretty decadent and fabulous. Overall, I think this is a great option for a place to eat out if you are staying in the Wailea area of Maui and don't want to have to drive anywhere. Also, I found out after talking to my server, that Tommy Bahama's does their best to create dishes that are specific to the areas where their restaurants are and use local ingredients. I can really appreciate that.

    Food was very good but our server was less than desirable. Probably because we weren't having a lot of cocktails so he paid more attention to others. Only know what his name is because we heard him telling the girls at another table. Would probably go back. Portions were generous but it was also pricey.

    Laura was our server and she was the highlight of the evening. She knew her food and was the perfect balance between present but unobtrusive. She was also very nice with a ready smile and answered all my (I'm sure) annoying questions. I feel like this place has live music absolutely dialed: not too loud with great songs you can still talk over. The food was the best we've had on Maui. The port tenderloin was cooked perfectly and my wife's scallop sliders and ahi tacos were great as well. Perfectly spiced sums that up.

    Even tho the food was terrific, I can only give the place 3 stars because the service was soooooo slow and the ambiance is really lacking. I'd first been here 11 years ago and really had a great meal and enjoyed the ambiance. It appears that they have not done any freshening up of the establishment since then. The seating in the waiting area was not even fit enough for a bad motel - torn, worn, filthy and musty smelling. Not a good sign, but we stayed. We both had great meals, wonderful appetizers and salads and a mediocre key lime pie. The service seemed to be a kitchen issue, not a server issue - it was about a half hour between finishing a course and seeing the next course arrive. Worth the wait tho. They need to soften the lighting and spruce the place up - it's starting to resemble a Red Robin or something and that's a real shame.

    Pleasantly surprised - great staff and service with wonderful food We had truly expected, as many have stated, a touristy food fare here - we were proven wrong. The quality of the food was excellent, and the plating of all the dishes we saw was very good The service from all was wonderful - very friendly staff - We passed up going to the one in Newport Beach due to the same per-conceived notion - but now we will go with high expectations Special for the night here in Maui - Mac Encrusted Mahi Mahi - screw that up in Hawaii and you should just leave the Islands for good - they did a phenomenal job with this dish We were disappointed by the Butterscotch pudding dessert - lacking any flavor or butterscotch at all - and more like whipped or even a melted ice cream texture instead of what you expect to be a Thick Rich pudding - and way too much chocolate to over take what was supposed to be the Butterscotch heaven after an excellent meal Oh well - we will just have to try Key Lime Pie next time - we will be back whenever we are here again

    We had 3 adults and kids 9 and 2 and enjoyed every moment of our 1 hour dining experience. Robert did a superb job in assisting with menu selection and service. The Mac and cheese with cavatappi pasta is the best on the island! Don't pass up the shop on the way out!

  • Christina M.

    Bad service! Waited forever in a near empty restaurant. The food was good but not great. After we waited forever for a dry burger the waitress said she would have to bring our fries later because the ones they had were not fresh. What were they doing while cooking the burger? The key lime pie was really good.

  • Hugh M.

    Food was good and the price was in line with other restaurants. If you are looking for dinner with a view of the ocean this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a nice dinner out, space between you and others diners then go here. Nice restaurant to sit outside in the evening and have a relaxing meal while listening to some local live music. It is located in the shopping area close to the Grand Wailea Resort. We had a great server who knew the right pace and made some good suggestions for entree's. I would go back again in the future.

    I can never get enough of Tommy's!!! As soon as I walk into the restaurant, I feel relaxed and can't believe that I really live on this magical island. I'm originally from Orange County and I know that Tommy Bahama's is a chain retail store and restaurant, but they actually use a lot of local ingredients and offer a farm to table menu. I crave the steak salad on the lunch menu that you can also order during dinner (you just need to ask because it is not on the dinner menu). I order the steak medium rare and it is grilled to perfection along with lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes and crispy shitake mushrooms. The salad is actually pretty simple and healthy to make up for the decadent, steaming, fresh, hot bread with beer honey butter!!! I absolutely love their coconut cake and key lime pie (and I'm a total chocoholic). Happy hour is fun and a really good deal, except it's only from 2-5pm. The mojito is a must have. My favorite dinner is the seared ahi. Perfect place for a date or hanging out with the family!

    Great little place. I did not know that TB had an eaterie attached to their shop. We sat on the patio and they had a local on his 6 string. Very calming and nice for a Thursday night. I had a mai tai the way they are suppose to be made. Now I had ribs on the brain ever since I saw the ad for Fat Daddy's. I was told by the valet not to go there and suggested this place instead. When I ordered the slab the waitress told me they are marinated in Coke? They were fall off the bone and I sawed thru them in short order. The slaw was pretty good as well. The server kept telling me that she would bring me a towel or a drink, but she seemed to have missed the boat. Now I didn't need it, but they had key lime pie on the menu and you got to choose your size. LG of the Chicago boy. You know. Just in case a tsumani hit, I'd be all set to go!

    Went here on my Birthday the end of Jan 2013 I am not sure if it was because it was my B-Day or if it was because the weather was perfect and or if it was because we sat outside right next to the musician as he played his guitar and sang all the music I enjoyed but I really loved this place... The the food and service was awesome as well... our entrees were Slow Roasted Beef Short Ribs so delicious and tender... and Macadamia Nut Encrusted Snapper so moist and flavorful. The bar drinks were yummy as well... as we left and noticed the Retail Shop I actually said "Wow I would have never imagined one of the best meals and experiences I would have on Maui would be at this place"

  • Ish A.

    I do see what others say about the dinner pricing but I have to say that they did deliver on food, service, and drinks. Would I go back for dinner? Probably not because I can dine (smartly) at ferraros (oceanfront - 4 seasons) for close to the same price! So, other reviewers definitely have a point. However, if you are looking for variety its a good option. I will return for lunch or happy hour. Really a 3.5 for dinner.

    I have never eaten at a Tommy Bahama's before I have kind of always passed them up. But, we were in a hurry and hungry from walking in the mall so we stopped in for lunch. The restaurant itself is very nice with a large open patio. I just ordered a hamburger and I have to say it was amazing. It was cooked perfectly actually one of the best I have had in a while. The staff were very friendly and our waiter made sure our drinks were never empty. If I am back in the area I would definitely stop back by.

    I didn't know that this place was a restaurant till we happened to walk by and see what looked liked a server. We came by by for dinner one evening during our stay in Wailea. The service was friendly and the food was very good. I liked the special fish I had, very succulent. The pasta dish my wife had was also light and tasty. There was some live music (we couldn't see the musician where we were seated) but he was a nice addition to a pleasant meal. Steak house prices but probably to be expected in Wailea!

  • Chris M.

    For a chain restaurant this place was pretty good. Service and staff were very friendly and efficient. I had the scallop sliders and they were very good. Maybe not 4 star but close. The burgers were excellent and the drinks were fantastic.( Had the cucumber smash) Would come back any time.

  • Julie M.

    This is a good dining option in Wailea. The food is good and the drinks are as well. The fish tacos were particularly noteworthy (and conveniently part of happy hour). However, happy hour only applies to the bar and booths-- leaving tables in the cold. The service was friendly and expedient which seemed customary for everywhere I dined in Wailea.

  • Laura S.

    Mixed experiences, great atmosphere and dessert but that's about it. Food is sometimes great, sometimes bad. The environment is dressy and they have music on the patio. I still love going here with friends for a nice evening. It is a bit pricey so going here for lunch would be better. I would definitely make dinner reservations ahead of time.

    One of the best restaurants in Maui I've ever been to. Who would guess a retail store could put out such amazing food? Top notch drinks, and an extremely enjoyable ambiance. I tell everyone who is visiting to stop in for a meal. Flawless service: Greg was our waiter and he was fantastic. I love when servers enjoy what they our selling. He really made our lunch special!! Thanks Greg-you are great at what you do (without being super cheesy or pretentious) In short: Real food and Real Fun

  • Adrienne T.

    Happy Hour was delicious. Had the angus sliders and fish tacos; both were so flavorful and just the right amount of food for 2 people to share. Try the Pain Killer for drinks if you like cream and nutmeg and rum! We had the creme brulee for dessert which was also fantastic; placed in the bottom of a pineapple and topped with strawberry and mint. The hosts and waiters were also very friendly and welcoming.

  • Liane R.

    We sat at the bar and had great service and good food. The addition of parking makes this restaurant too pricey. It's too bad this shopping center is now charging $6/ hour for parking. This restaurant does not validate parking. We will instead be exploring other options in the area.

    The service was great. We started out at the bar and enjoyed our visit we ended up dining. The food was excellent. We had the ribs and snapper. Brittany and Amanda , Alexander and Chef Marcus are the best. The is a most stop for anyone around the world. This would be my "must stop" place every visit in Maui. P.

    We eat at our local Tommy Bahama's back home often and love it, always a pleasant experience. This was our first time to dine at the Tommy B in Maui (there are so many great eats in Maui and it was hard to justify it but we did this time). It was entirely sub-par. They have no local beer on their menu (you have to ask for it and the waiter had to go ask himself). The cocktail drinks we ordered where watered down and didn't taste that great, just overpriced. We had the swordfish which was glazed with some kind of sauce that tasted fine but it completely overpowered the swordfish (which generally holds up great to spices and seasonings). Also, the fish was flat, thin, and not as juicy as it should be ( we have never received a swordfish that looked like this anywhere). Our server was fine but we just wanted to get out (Maui has been experiencing record high humidity and heat thanks to el nino this year) and this restaurant is like a furnace when the wind isn't blowing. Overall this was a completely disappointing dining experience and we won't be wasting a meal on this place next time when there are so many other great options on Maui! Skip this one, many better options out there!

    Came here for happy hour because it was recommended by a few locals. First off - no air conditioning. Which I assume isn't a problem most of the time; however, we were in hawaii during hurricane season so it was very very humid. The fish tacos were really good, but the chicken lollipops were very dry and ahi poke isn't really ahi poke - it's tuna tartare. I find wailea to be much more expensive than other areas on maui and more or less a hit or miss. This restaurant isn't much of an exception. Pricey and just okay. maybe San Francisco has spoiled me!

  • Shangyi C.

    Everything was so perfect about this place! You have to taste the butter coming along with the bread. We ordered pork lib. To tell you the truth, I have never tried any pork better than that. The meat was cooked just fine. We had two people and spent $100 without tip.

  • Ryan C.

    The foods I had in here were absolutely amazing. I've eaten countless steaks and the ribeye they have in here is one of the best ones I've ever had. The service is fantastic and I am completely satisfied with both the food and the service they provide. The price does add up quick but it's definitely affordable.

    I had serious doubt's for this restaurant prior to our visit last night. After having dinner here this place well deserves its 5/5! This was our best meal in Hawaii!! We had the coconut shrimp for our appetizer- best I ever had, perfectly cooked. For our entrees were the ahi tuna with succotash and wasabi edamame puree and the Thai scallops and shrimp. The scallops and tuna were just melt in your mouth perfection. We also enjoyed fresh made mojitos. Coconut shrimp 5/5 Bread service 2.5/5 Mojitos 4/5 Ahi tuna entree 5/5 Thai scallops and shrimp 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Price $150 total. It was worth it!

    When I hear the word "Tommy Bahama", I automatically think about the Tommy Bahama camp silk shirts. Never in my wildest dreams do I associate "Tommy Bahama" to a Restaurant. Well, that all changed today, as I met up with my good friend Robert, who I consider my "big bruddah!" And his beautiful wife tonight for a meal at Tommy's. What can I say........the Tommy Bahama restaurant is located in the beautiful shopping complex called - The Shops at Wailea. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor, just upstairs from Longhi's restaurant. What can I say about the restaurant? This is an open air restaurant, it has beautiful decor, and they keep the theme of -"relaxed, casual, & island lifestyle. There was live music tonight, but we were at the other end of the restaurant, so although I could here the music, I was not really paying too much attention. The Tommy Bahama restaurant menu offers a lot of seafood items, as well as steaks, ribs, & salads. If you're not into any of that, they do offer burgers & sandwiches too. They have a full bar, featuring mixed drinks, wine, & beer. We ordered a few items for tonight's dinner, we had the following - 1. Ahi Poke Napoleon - Poke with capers, sesame, guacamole, & flatbread. 2. Seared Ahi Tuna - Chili & Brown Sugar, Vegetable Succotash, Edamame Puree. 3. Macadamia Nut Encrusted Snapper - Hawaiian Red Sea Salt, Grilled Asparagus, Almond Rice, Wasabi Soy Beurre. 4. Kona Coffee Crusted Ribeye - Cauliflower- Chive Mash, Lemon Arugula, Garlic Butter. 5. Coconut Cake 6. French Pressed Coffee 7. Beers, Wine, & a Mai Tai What can I say about da grindz? To start our meal, we ordered a - "Ahi Poke Napoleon" for an appetizer, and when we got it, I want to say it kinda reminded me of a dish I've eaten before from Uncle Fish Market & Grill. The poke was good, but I really liked the flat bread which came with the dish. The flat bread kind of reminded me of a lavash sticks. For my dinner, I ordered the "Seared Ahi Tuna", and I was really pleased with my meal choice! What can I say..........bruddah Fran GOT DA GRINDZ tonight!!!!! Nom! Nom! Nom! The ahi was seared perfectly, and the chili & brown sugar sauce was delicious! The mixture of the sauce was not spicy, but there was a hint of sweetness from the soy based sauce. The vegetable succotash also complemented the fish real well! My friends ordered the Macadamia Nut Encrusted Snapper & the Kona Coffee Crusted Ribeye (Sorry gang, I forgot to get pics of this). And for dessert, we got the delicious coconut cake! It was so light & delicious! And of course, how can you not have some locally grown coffee? LOVE IT!!!! Service was EXCELLENT! As our waitress was very attentive, as she always came by to check on us. Food was served quickly after we placed our order. What a wonderful meal! But as beautiful as the restaurant was, and how wonderful the food was...........as I had said this before............. There is nothing better in this lifetime, then to spend it with your family & friends.........it really doesn't matter when you go, or what you eat.............it's all about taking the time out from your busy schedule to spend it with your loved ones. That's what ohana is all about!

    We chose to eat here after watching an amazing sunset. We were asked inside or outside, but with the humidity there wasn't much of a difference. We chose outside and we're taken to a table that was sandwiched by two families. I wasn't bothered by this at all. Our waitress was by our side immediately asking for our drink order. She came back with water since we were still deciding. We both ordered drinks from the bar, that took forever. For appetizers we got the coconut shrimp which was amazing. I got a cup of crab bisque that was made with sherry and cream. It tasted like there was a full bottle of sherry added to it. We gave our entree orders and tried having conversations amidst these families telling their kids to be quiet but the parents were louder than the children. Our food came out and it was huge portions. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and his ribs fell off the bones. The food was good but it was do hot outside, it was hard to eat. If you are looking to spend quite a bit of money, then by all means this is where you should go. I just wasn't impressed with our waitress. I felt that she sized us up and thought she wouldn't get a good tip so we were ignored.

    This is a perfect place for a relaxing lunch or casual dinner. LOCATION: At The Shops of Wailea, second level on the ocean side. ATMOSPHERE: It's open-air but air conditioned with tropical decor, a big central bar, and a spacious lanai with big umbrellas for outdoor seating. The once great view of the ocean is now taken up by a condo, but is still very nice. I always opt for outdoor seating if possible. It's beautiful during the day and more gorgeous at night. All the umbrellas are taken away, making the outdoor lanai visually bigger. Ambient lighting is strung over the railings and a live singer entertained us. The restaurant is attached to their small clothing boutique. BEVERAGE: Sangria - It's not too heavy on the alcohol but is full of flavor. A very tasty and refreshing drink for lunch. We got a pitcher which was perfect for the three of us. A bit pricey at $30+. Duvel Belgian Ale Beer - This was really good and pretty strong. I'm a Heineken fan and I loved it. FOOD: House Bread - Pull apart bread with a side of cinnamon butter. Very good. Macadamia Nut Encrusted Goat Cheese - A ball of spreadable cheese comes with thin and crunchy flatbreads. Very light and a great app to share. Seared Scallop Sliders - Two sliders with a generous amount of scallops seared to perfection with green veggies, and onions, and topped with French fried onions. Tommy's Great Big Crispy Fish Sandwich - My favorite dish here. The beer-battered fish is crispy, flaky, and huge; it hangs out of the bread on both ends! Toppings are pickles, tomato, caramelized onions, and lettuce. Shoestring fries and a very tasty tartar sauce are on the side. It's a big portion which two can share for a light lunch but it's the perfect size for me. Oink! Crab Stuffed Shrimp - Four pieces of shrimp, stuffed with a crab mixture and topped with wilted spinach. The crab mixture didn't have much taste to it unfortunately, and the Thai chili sauce was a little too sweet for me. This dish would be better if it was prepared with simple garlic & butter. It came with a mound of mushy steamed almond rice which was another disappointment. Bleh. Just give me mashed potatoes! Pass. RESERVATIONS: We usually come for lunch and walk in without reservations and normally get seated immediately. SERVICE: All of the servers have been friendly and professional at both lunch and dinner. OVERALL: Great food, good service, relaxing ambiance and moderate pricing. Very touristy, like all of south Maui.

    We sat on the patio which was nice because they have live music. The service was great- the manager even checked on us to see if we were doing okay. We ordered the pitcher of sangria which is a bit much for two people, but really good. We both had the crab bisque as an appetizer which was delicious and filling. For my meal, I ordered the papaya salad and added shrimp to it. I was disappointed when I got it as it was not at all what I expected. It was just shredded papaya and other veggies on a large piece of lettuce. I was expecting an actual salad of mixed greens. It's not something I would eat as a meal, and it wasn't even that great tasting. I let our server know that I was disappointed and she was extremely nice about it and even took it off of our bill. The manager came and apologized too and offered to get me something to replace it. My boyfriend had the chili shrimp meal which he said was good. For dessert we ordered the pineapple creme brûlée which is a MUST try. It was one of the best creme brûlées I've ever had. It was severed in an actual slice of pineapple and had caramelized pineapple pieces throughout. I would come back just for this. Overall, the atmosphere is nice, the service was impeccable, but the food was just okay. The dessert gets an A+ though.

    Editing my original review: The food is fantastic, and the setting is beautiful. I had a rather poor experience with the same waiter a few times, but the manager Chad just reached out to follow up with me. We had a good talk, and it's very clear in my mind that he's dedicated to holding his restaurant to very high standards. He's kept me as a loyal customer.

    What a surprise. Ate there twice on my trip. Love it! The food is fantastic. The night we were there they had live music on the patio. Drinks are great and so are the Yucca fries!!

    Starters - coconut shrimp is amazing truly truly best food this trip, fresh crab cake nice solid choice but not exceptional, jam crustini great feedback, great combination of strong flavours. Mains - blackened ahi tuni salad was great, good crunchy salad, melt in the mouth tuna, good menu choice, fish tacos were fresh and tasty, the apple banana was an interesting add. The ribs were solid and safe but uninspiring. Dessert - creme brûlée in a pineapple awesome according to the 21 year old, high praise indeed...., Pineapple shortcake was nice, the chocolate mousse cake was defined as cool, it got taken home Pina Colada big thumbs up, cucumber smash too much alcohol, baja margarita was good and strong, zero alcohol drinks also high praise from the teenage contingent. Greg was a great server, really added to the experience.

    I've yet to have a single less than savory experience at this gorgeously-appointed, well-run, and overall splendid spot. From their fauxjitos and lobster bisque to their bustling happy hour, Tommy Bahama's is a gem. I can't think of a single way to improve this place--it's that damn good.

    We had just arrived in Maui and decided to head here for lunch. We had eaten here before on our previous visit to Maui 6 years ago. And I have eaten at the location in Las Vegas. We got a nice table on the patio outside. It was a bit hot and the sunny was shining down on us so that was the only drawback. They need umbrellas or more covered spots. Also, the place use to have a nice ocean view but the condo complex next door took the view away. Oh well. We started with their bread and ginger cinnamon butter. The butter is really flavorful but the flavors don't overpower. Bread is warm and soft. I had the grilled shrimp cobb salad without the egg. It was very tasty. Lots of blue cheese. The shrimp were grilled nicely and had a good char on them. The dressing was flavorful. And you can't go wrong with avocado. My mom had the crispy fish sandwich. The piece of fish was huge. She could barely pick up the sandwich. The fish was a tad on the greasy side but was really flavorful. This is always a good option when you want a nice meal but not too expensive. Plus its in a shopping center so you can shop too. And have ice cream nearby.

    Our meal was great, and the service from our waiter Jake was excellent, but the biggest hero of the night was the restaurant manager Chad. First of all, service was prompt and friendly. The bread was warm, and the rum cocktails were great. While the kids and I skipped appetizers, my husband had the crab bisque which I tried and agreed was superb. The bread was fresh and arrived hot. Entrees arrived on time and we're excellent. My son had the pulled pork with which he was delighted, while my husband and I had the swordfish. The swordfish was prepared very well, although my husband thought his was a bit undercooked. He had his sent back and they returned with one the was more well done very quickly. Kudos for the promptness on correcting it. He was really happy with it. We all had desserts which were excellent. I had the piña colada cake which was awesome. My daughter loved her pineapple creme brule, and both my husband and my son loved their key lime pie. Aside from my husband's entrée, everything else was perfect meal-wise. However, the true winner of the night was restaurant manager Chad! Not only did he check on our dinner to make sure it met (or exceeded) expectations, he became a savior when our parking validation did not work. Toward the end of our meal, Jake validated our parking without hesitation and we thought all would be well, but when we got to the gate, the validation payment card didn't work! We weren't pleased to say the least, so my husband went back to the restaurant and word got back to the manager Chad. Not only did Chad call to speak with the parking vendor company, he literally walked outside all the way to the parking gate (about a 500 ft. walk from the restaurant!) and waited there for us, (selflessly assisting other mall patrons with their parking validation in the mean time!) until we got to the gate. Then he pressed the call button on the gate box and insisted to the person (voice) on the other side "this is my guest, please let them out." WOW. If that's not service, I don't know what is. That was simply amazing. I can only imagine what Chad would do to make things right for anyone where something wasn't right INSIDE the restaurant after seeing service like that. All I can say is that a restaurant is only as good as those who run it and work it, and with managers like Chad and waiters like Jake, you're in superb hands at Tommy Bahama's Wailea. Mahalo to them both!

    Great location, great service, great ambiance, and great cuisine! I can say honestly I didn't even know about this place until we found it on yelp, and it was a GREAT CHOICE for dinner in paradise- aka Maui! Service by Kathy (most attentive and genuine waitress EVER!) and live acoustic contemporary music by an awesome local artist( sorry missed his name!!) We had chicken lollipops and bacon jam Brie as appetizers, crab bisque (da bomb!!!) filet mignon and apple risotto DELISH! Don't forget we killed ourselves with the TO DIE FOR malted chocolate pie and key lime, I will come back for the chocolate pie for sure next time in town! I highly recommend this spot for foodies on Maui =)

    We ate here tonight for our last dinner in Maui this trip. The server was fantastic and we enjoyed talking with him about growing up in Hawaii. I had the special swordfish, my wife had the Parmesan crusted chicken, and my son and the burger sliders. The fish had a nice grilled flavor, but was drenched with the ratatouille, which detracted noticeably from the taste. My wife's chicken was okay, but my Parmesan chicken blows this out of the water without question. The sliders were acceptable to a hungry kid. The wine was advertised as Caymus but failed to note it was the 40 Year Anniversary Caymus which is nowhere near the regular Cabernet. I could have sent it back but decided it was not worth the hassle. So overall considering the price, another disappointing Maui restaurant dinner. Great island and vacation, but the food here leaves much to be desired. These 4 and 5 star Yelpers have no idea what a great meal truly is. Especially for $250.

    I recently went here on my trip to Maui with my family. We ordered the Coconut Shrimp dish that they were world famous for and we were blown away! The food and service is perfect, and the atmosphere is really nice. The waiters were very kind and friendly. They always checked in on us and asked how our food was. I ordered the Smokehouse Bacon Burger which was probably the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. This place is a true wonder and I look forward to coming back! Best food in Maui!

    Trying to avoid eating in our hotel, the wife and I stopped by for lunch one day. Located on the 2nd floor of the Shops at Wailea, the restaurant itself is pretty nice. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating has no view. Just a view of the back of some buildings. Service here is generally good. Our server was great, but the hostess seemed like she really didn't want to be there. As for the food, the wife and I decided to order a bunch of appetizers for our meal. Our order consisted of the Ahi Poke Napoleon, Ahi Tacos, Yuzu Shrimp Tacos, Coconut Crusted Crab Cakes, and the "World Famous" Coconut Shrimp. Some items were a complete let down. The Ahi Poke Napoleon is more of a lightly flavored tartare with too much avocado and the Yuzu Shrimp Tacos barely had any shrimp and definitely had no yuzu flavor at all. The Ahi Tacos were good, but had more slaw than ahi, while the Coconut Crusted Crab Cakes didn't taste fresh, didn't taste like coconut, but had little filler. The "World Famous" Coconut Shrimp was also a letdown, with a not as strong shrimp flavor as I would have expected, while the shrimp were very greasy. I have to say, the Coconut Shrimp at Aulani are still my favorite. The bill for lunch with two non-alcoholic drinks, tax and tip was around $100. Really pricy if you ask me, but our fault for ordering all those appetizers. Not sure the price would have been much different had we ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer or two though. Overall, probably better than eating at the hotel if you're staying somewhere like the Wailea Beach Marriott, but it's a pricy option with just average food.

    Everything was excellent as it should be for the price. Had the ahi tuna with guac n crackers yum. Shrimp n scallops good. Stuffed breaded chiclen yum. Cauliflowe mash was really good too. For dessert you must try the coconut pineapple cake. Great way to end the meal. Nice outdoor seating. Not too crowded. Staff is friendly and attentive. Live music.

    I went to this restaurant with 3 other adults and 2 children and the service was brilliant. We started off with the cinnamon butter and fresh bread which was delicious. I opted for the shrimp stuffed with crab which was very tasty but everyone enjoyed their meals - the mahi mahi was a favourite as well as the beef special. The kids menu was varied and went down well as well as the choice of Virgin cocktails. We were sat on a table outside and we were very glad we went there rather than the restaurant across the road.

    Great food and service! Our server was attentive, informative and charming. He basically picked out our food for us. Gluten free protein style turkey burger for me and ribs for my husband. We also has ahi poke tacos which were to die for. Our kids had chicken strips and they were juicy large and tender. Grapefruit basil vodka cocktail was soooo yummy! We're going back tomorrow to try some other menu items. Yum!

    I've always thought of Tommy Bahahmas, and rightfully so, as a men's clothing store but a few years back when I heard they had restaurants I thought that was intriguing and wanted to find out what it was all about. That opportunity came on a trip to Maui. The servers and staff are very noticeably trained to be peppy, fully of questions about where you are visiting from and what you are doing while in Maui. I have mixed feelings about it only because places like that can run the risk of being a little overbearing- but that is the San Francisco in me talking where you get more of a east coast superficiality and not all up in your business friendliness of the south. Anyway I digress. The food was really good! Apps: the ahi Napoleon was fantastic. The pulled pork quesadilla was tasty but severely lacking in pork- probably would steer clear of that next time. Entrees: seared ahi was one of the better ahi dishes I've had. It was perfectly cooked and the succotash it came with was a perfect pair. The ribs were delicious and fell off the bone and the coconut shrimp was tasty and the perfect Hawaiian meal. The atmosphere is also inviting and kinda looks like a tommy Bahama store with the plantation/island style decor. This place however has an identity crisis of it is a cougar bar or a family restaurant. The tables were packed with young families and tourists alike yet the very cool wrap around bar was packed with people looking to have a fun time drinking and watching the game. Not a bad thing but just funny thing to notice.

    We dined at Tommy Bahamas on our first day in Maui. While staying at the Fairmont Kea Lani, we opted to take the shuttle to the Shops at Wailea where Tommys is located. Our server was Jay and he was fantastic. He informed us of all the specials and made excellent meal suggestions. We were a party of four and thee of us ordered different meals. The crab-stuffed shrimp was amazing, as was the ribeye and babyback ribs. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Keep in mind it is a little pricey!

    Full on four stars! Yes it's a chain restaurant but they are doing some things right here! The drinks were flavorful and strong but not overpowering. We had the Mango Margarita, Sangria, and Habanero Margarita and enjoyed each! The Scallop Slider was the highlight of our visit! If you don't order anything else order this! And don't share it. It comes with two sliders...eating one will only make you want to order another. If you like scallops order these! The Jam Goat Cheese Bruschetta was really tasty also. Everything looked really good; we were both in the mood for fried fish. I got the fish and chips which were delicious! My wife got the crunchy fried fish sandwich. She loved it! We would definitely return here on our next trip.

    Tuesday, November 4th. (9:00pm) Went here for the first time! I've been really wanting to try Tommy Bahamas. Food COCONUT CRUSTED CRAB CAKES: you have a choice of one piece($12) or two($18) and it comes with this side of coleslaw I believe. Crab was really good i really enjoyed it. Sweet chili sauce tasted like it was from the bottle, but I love sweet chili sauce and it was great with the cakes. CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP($37): the shrimp was such good size, and it came with that delicious crab! Almond rice was very good; first time I tried it and I loved it! The spinach not so much. There was just way too much garlic. Now that I think of it I should have ate little bits with the shrimp, hmmm. But there's no way I could have eaten that spinach by itself. KONA COFFEE CRUSTED RIBEYE($41): my boyfriend is a huge steak guy. And he actually said, "This steak is the best steak I've ever had!" It actually was some really good steak. Tasted like BBQ, but upscale(?). Lol. I would have wanted some steak sauce, but it was really good without. Might I add that it was cooked to PERFECTION!! He asked for medium and actually got MEDIUM!! Yay!! However the side of potatoes were undercooked, but the steak made up for it! :) Service HOSTESS: she was really friendly and nice. I like how she told us there's live music and asked if we wanted to be near or further away. We asked for further away that way we can talk and we still got one outside. Nice. WAITRESS: she was nice too; didn't catch her name. The only reason this isn't a five star was the ending. I had to wait 10 minutes for a refill on my coke( which I think the machine needs to be cleaned or something because it tasted a little old and dirty.) Anyways then when we wanted our check and a Togo box she was no where to be found. I stood outside that doorway where all the employees seem to be going in assuming she would come out, but she didn't. There was a another employee folding silverware and she was nice enough to ask me if I needed something and got our waitress. I guess I had high expectations and expected fantastic service being we were at Tommy Bahamas and just wanted to be taken care of and we kind of felt like we weren't. My boyfriend and I ALWAYS tip what they deserve which is reason for the tip we left. Regardless of that little hiccup we're coming back! Because I really want to try more of the food, hopefully visit number two will be perfect.

    Service and food were excellent! My blackened fish tacos came out cold but Megan the manager comped them and got me a fresh new plate! They were very yummy the second round. Also had the garden burger that was the best ever. Our server Lisa was fabulous too! This is a must stop for anyone looking for a great dining experience in the Wailea area.

    We had a great meal at Tommy Bahama's (yes the clothing store). Good ambience and service, super consistent food, and yummy tropical drinks. Definitely book in advance and request patio dining. I had the seared ono special which was excellent. Kid friendly too.

  • Connie T.

    Great food, and great ambiance . The ahi fish tacos are a must try. Super fresh and tasty. I loved the macadamia crusted snapper, and my friend had the swordfish. Both were cooked to perfection. The waitresses, waiters, bartenders, and hostess were all SuPER peppy,and friendly. I think they were trained to be that way. Was kind of surreal, and funny at the same time. Overall we had a good dining experience. Looks like they have a happening bar as well for all drinkers. I had no idea Tommy Bahama owned restaurants too! If your a fan of his clothes there is a store next to the restaurant. I did not try the desserts. I heard they are known for their dessert trays . Worth a try if you are in the area.

    I typically don't support "The Man" over here, but hey, ono food is ono food. Had the blackened fish tacos...onnnnno It's fancier than the local spot I usually hit up but I have the cabbage to choke a donkey, so why not? Y'all old tourists should hit this spot...and spend that mainland salad here. Mahalo.

    First night in Maui and very tired and hungry. The friendly hostess explained that gluten-free was no problem. We were seated on the balcony near a musician playing soft guitar music and singing quiet, relaxing melodies. Great music and atmosphere. Our server Lucas did a fantastic job. Mai tais were $12 each and were in about a 10 oz glass. I had jerk chicken and my wife had Mahi Mahi. The food was perfect. The bill came to $120 with three drinks. I'm learning that food is expensive in Maui . Definitely recommend

    This is my first five star review. It involves a mistaken New Year's Eve reservation, a few other backup plans, and then, finally, The Girlfriend and I arriving at Tommy Bahama. Host and hostess folks were great, told us there were two seats empty at the bar and that we could get the full dinner menu there. This is notable (if only really applicable once or twice a year), because some of the other places we visited on New Year's Eve were only serving Prix Fixe (none of which sounded particularly practical, and certainly not at the cost.) Being in a festive spirit like we were we ordered fancy non-alcoholic drinks. The Girlfriend ordered the Fauxito and I had the Pain Chiller. Both of them were wonderful, the Fauxito crisp and refreshing, the Pain Chiller almost as rewarding as a milkshake. We decided to order a variety of appetizers in lieu of an entree. Tim the Bartender (who, I see, has already been lauded by others on Yelp) really was an excellent presence. He was attentive on the drinks, helped us decide between menu options, and was an overall delight. We had the goat cheese, the Caesar salad, and the Key Lime cheesecake. There was not a misstep in the whole of our experience. It was so good we went back a few days later. Exceptional dining experience.

    Had dinner at Tommy's tonight. Best artichoke I've ever had. Super delish. Also had the ahi tuna poke and it was amazing as well. The other diners at my table had everything from chicken to fish and all were good. I'd go back for sure. Chad the manager was super hospitable as well.

    Raining like crazy the night we went to Tommy Bahama in Wailea. The pelting sideways rain forced the restaurant to move all of the outdoor tables indoors. So it was a challenging night at best for the restaurant. Our server was Bethany- She gave great advice and was very quick with any requests!!! She pointed out a very nice red wine for a really low price.... Always appreciated. They delivered a wonderful quality steak, cooked perfectly. The crab soup was very good and served very hot. Also the goat cheese and beet salad was excellent. Desert was hard to choose from they were all looking good. We ended up trying the coconut cake and some pudding with chocolate. So leave some room for sweets! We spoke with the manager Chad who was actually apologetic, as it was a little crowded with the outside diners moved inside. We did not find it to be an issue, but his stopping by our table was incredibly considerate. He gave us a card for the Las Vegas Tommy's ... What a class act.

    I've eaten here at least 20 times so I'm very familiar with this place. At first let me say that it is not the kind of place that I would typically like - a chain restaurant that is very touristy and to me screams tourist trap. However as much a touristy chain restaurant this may be, we really like the food and (obviously) we keep coming back. It is a bit pricey, but we tend to go for lunch or happy hour, after a morning at the beach, and those prices are a bit more reasonable. The service is usually very good and I feel they make some of the best cocktails on the island (I'm not much a drinker so you might want to take that with a grain of salt, but I know others really like their drinks as well). I've tried too many of the dishes to review them all here, but I will say they are all pretty consistently good and just get what suits your taste.

  • Dan D.

    We wanted to stay away from chain restaurants but we kinda ran out of local choices after about 10 days on the island so we decided to give this place a try. We were pleasantly surprised. First, no constant Hawaiian music in the background. Te decor was nice and clean and the balcony seating area was cozy - although the lights could have been turned up a bit - we had a hard time reading our menus. The service was excellent.. we were seated within 1 minute and had water on the table in 3 minutes. Our server was very attentive and checked on us about every 10 minutes with a smile. The menu was well balanced and had something fro every taste. The food was surprisingly fresh and excellent. I noticed the manager went around every once in a while and asked every table if they were happy with the service. Big points there.. Other restaurants should take note. I highly recommend this place.

  • Vanessa C.

    This restaurant was wonderful! The service was great and we were immidiately seated after entering. Everything was homemade. The mac-n-cheese wasn't microwaved and the chicken fingers weren't thawed. The food was a little pricey, but it was worth every penny. My mother ordered a margarita and it wasn't to her liking, but the waiter willingly brought her a new one for no extra charge. If you are vacationing in Maui, this is the place to be.

  • Angela C.

    One of our four meals was almost inedible. Shrimp with risotto. The risotto tasted like beer, and the shrimp tasted like mud. The other meals Seared Ahi Tuna, Tortilla Soup, and Crab Cakes were delightful.

    I had been to TB in Florida and was looking forward to dining at the Maui location. Only thing missing was an ocean view! They had a great musician playing acoustic guitar versions of 90's alternative classics which I loved. Decent kids menu as well as coloring supplies to keep the toddler happy. She enjoyed her chicken quesadilla. I thought the crab stuffed shrimp, chocolate and piña colada cakes were delicious. Had an issue with one of the dishes in our party but the manager resolved it quickly and to our satisfaction. Mojito was tasty as well as the wine. Service was attentive. Wish they had one on Oahu!

  • Jen S.

    Yummy tropical drinks and amazing food! Had the coconut shrimp, crab cakes, crab bisque, and stuffed shrimp (which was pretty much mini crab cakes on shrimp). Was so tasty! Great service, and had some nice live music too. Definitely go!

  • Courtney J.

    I wasn't sure about this place since it is part of a clothing store, but this is a fantastic happy hour spot for tropical drinks! It's from 2:00-5:00 PM. The drinks are well made and are good pours. There were many cocktails that were around $6-$8. The bar tender was very friendly, and he knew what he was doing. The mint in the mojito I had was very well muddled. It sounds simple enough, but so many places don't do it correctly. It was just slightly sweet and nice and tart which is exactly how I like it. The Grapefruit Basil martini was smooth with grey goose vodka, a little tartness from the grapefruit juice, and the basil gave some earthiness to it. My husband had the Coconut Cloud, which was rich and like a desert drink. The Pineapple Plantation was refreshing and fruity as well. The biggest surprise was that the poke I had here was actually the best we ended up having on our trip. It was fresh and flavorful, and perfectly combined with salty capers and ripe avocado. So good! The rest of the food was nothing special though. The plantain chips were very disappointing. I was hoping for a thicker chip, and not like something I could buy from a store in a bag. I didn't really care for the chicken lollypops. From the name, I wouldn't have ordered them, but people around me had them and were going on about them. I don't get it because it was just a chicken leg that had a little pepper on the outside. They were very bland. I would return for happy hour most definitely. The tropical drinks are well made and at a fair price. I don't know if I'd come here for dinner though because the food was a miss, with the exception of the poke.

    Friendly greeting immediately upon arrival & to table. I asked my server, Bethany, about size of macadamia nut crusted goat cheese explaining that I really wanted it, but couldn't eat that appetizer plus an entree. (All the salads are listed as entree salads...) She was so helpful and said she could do a bungalow size salad and paired the mango salad with the macadamia nut crusted goat cheese. Both were absolutely delicious and I will be back!!!

  • Carla C.

    Fantastic service. We had a large group (wedding party) Five star coconut macadamia shrimp, goat cheese appetizers, fruit trays, feta cheese with mixed greens and mango dressing salad, chicken lollipops! Presentation was beautiful! The servers never let our drinks go empty. Well done! Bravo

  • Jenna L.

    I was honestly surprised how good this restaurant was and I had major doubts before going given the Tommy Bahama name. This was our first night in Hawaii and it turned out to be one of our favorite meals. The server found out it was our honeymoon and the manager made a point to come by and congratulate us and bring us two glasses of champagne. Honestly, no one else during our trip made a big deal that it was our Honeymoon besides the manager here and it made us feel very special! The food was excellent - I had a steak and my husband had the chicken. We started out with a pork quesadilla that was divine! Highly recommend going here if you're staying in Wailea.

    First time at a clothing branded restaurant was a decent experience. The decent food was elevated by the great service. I didn't have high hopes when my wife suggested we eat here, but we ended up satisfied with our choice. The place was busy but not crammed, so we decided to sit on the deck where they had live music playing. We started with their coconut shrimp in a sweet sauce with a tangy slaw. The coating was a bit heavy, but as a whole it was a decent appetizer. I had the Kona coffee crusted ribeye, which would have been better labeled as Kona dusted since none was visible to the naked eye. The beef was decent (supposedly island raised) but the wife's tenderloin was melt in your mouth good. My steak was accompanied by a bed of dressed spinach greens and their take on a buttery, warm potato salad. As a whole the dish was great, but as the star of the show the steak fell a bit short. Dessert was a small order of their chocolate layer cake. Rich and moist with a dollop of chocolate whipped cream. Again, the service from our fantastic host elevated the entire experience. Attentive and just the perfect amount of conversation. Not my first choice for Wailea, but a decent experience that won't dissapoint.

    I'll admit that I was not exactly thrilled at the prospect of eating at a multi-location restaurant. HOWEVER, I was gob-smacked at the high quality of the food! We had the grilled artichoke which had a wonderful smoky, garlicky flavor accompanied by a lemon aioli. Next, the fish tacos arrived, succulent bites of marinated fresh fish served with a wasabi -not too hot- sauce embedded in fried wonton shells...yum! The pulled pork quesadilla was chewy goodness dipped in a sweet Asian sauce. Their "World Famous Coconut Shrimp" earned the acclaim! Yes, they are that good!! The main event was the bacon jam crostinis...YOU NEED TO ORDER THESE!!! The entire array of food came well-executed and expertly seasoned. The important part of this evening was our server, Ryan!! He was attentive, caring, and informed about every menu item. He truly took care of us. He made our dining experience memorable in the most positive way!! The manager, Chad, was also gracious and interested in knowing how our evening was progressing. It is more than clear the people who work here are happy. It shows from the greeting by the hostess to the servers' attentiveness to the food that comes out of the kitchen. Every step shows they want you to have a good time. We will be back.

    Went here for our last dinner in Maui, never realized Tommy Bahamas had a restaurant associated with its clothing store. So happy we decided to try this place. I made a reservation through Open Table and requested a patio seat and was accommodated. They had live acoustic music on the patio that really gave the place a romantic feel. We started with their Pineapple Mojito and Cucumber Gin cocktails as the waitress recommended these, and they were very tasty. For appetizers, we had the Macadamia Crusted Goat Cheese and Gazpacho. My husband is a chef and he said they did a really good job with the Gazpacho. I am a self-proclaimed cheese expert, and I took several pictures of the goat cheese dish so that my husband can attempt to make it at home because I loved it! For our entrees, we ordered the Jerk Chicken and Macadamia Snapper. My chicken was better than most jerk chicken I'd had in Jamaica even, and my husbands snapper was good, except that it wasn't snapper, but Mahi instead. Apparently there was a shortage of snapper on the island and the restaurant was subbing in Mahi instead, except that they weren't telling people this when they ordered the snapper (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). My husband didn't mind because he loves Mahi, but a man at the table next to us got very angry, reasonably so, when he was brought macadamia Mahi instead of the macadamia snapper he ordered. He said that the waitress should have told him about this, and I agree with him. I believe they ended up comping his meal because he was getting loud enough for surrounding tables to hear him complaining. Other than that, the staff is very friendly here. They take the time to actually talk with you and even joke around a little. Definitely sit on the patio and try as many things as possible because everything we had was good!

    Iced tea good rolls, nuked, hard when they cool. Simple salad...small, but 7.00 I should not expect much. Pork chop is moist and flavorful. Very very overpriced. Worse than expected. They lost me as a customer. Name sucked me in and shot me right out the door. Ok, try it and you will probably say the same thing. Enjoy (I guess).

    This is a great restaurant in the Wailea area. We only went here once, but everything was good. The prices are OK considering the quality and the fact that it is on Maui. The staff was good, but some of them had a lot of attitude. In general, the staff seems to think that working at the Tommy Bahama restaurant is the pinnacle of culinary achievement. Anyway, you will not be disappointed in this restaurant.

    I love, love, love their drinks and "Aloha" hour menu. Everything on the Aloha appetizer menu is delicious and high-end. Adore the Mai-Tai's and the "Spiced Hurricane" drinks. The guacamole/Ahi tuna and the fish tacos are to die for! I'm a little sad to see this place remodeled. Tommy Bahamas has lost it's charme and character. Now the place looks blend and boring. We also came here for dinner and sat at the balcony, listening to live music. Very pleasant and the diner menu is good as well. Still, the 3-5pm Happy Hour is fantastic! A must if you are in the mood for great food and drinks!

    fantastic restaurant and dining experience! went here for lunch and had a baja margarita (fantastic!), split the coconut shrimp appetizer with my husband, and had the grilled chicken sandwich. the sandwich wasn't on the menu because it was the special of the day. the sandwich included grilled chicken, chipolte sauce, black beans, grilled corn, guacamole, and melted cheese. absolutely one of the best meals and experiences I've ever had at a restaurant! we had EXCELLENT service from Daniel and all in all, both my husband and I were VERY pleased with our meals and the experience. definetly a must if you visit Maui :)

  • Jerry L.

    Way too expensive for what you get. Crispie fish sandwich was so loaded with wet pickle, wet lettuce, wet tomato, and fried onions that not only was the breading on the fish soaked, but the bun was wet also. Ended up eating the fish with a fork and ditching the rest. Even at that, the fish was not top quality and was mostly tasteless. My wife's veggie burger was beans and rice and tasted OK but is way over priced for what it is. Iced tea and coffee at five bucks each is probably typical for an upscale place and tasted good, but still a lot more than it should be. With tip, $50 is way too much for the poor quality food. Good wait staff does not make up for that.

    Whoever would have thought that making khakis & Hawaiian shirts for old dudes would equate to the ability to serve up decent drinks & food! I would have never in a million years given this place a shot but my coworker who is pretty spot on with her travel/dining advice "highly-recommended" this place. Since we were exploring the Shops at Wailea, we decided to have lunch and drinks here. The one item my coworker says is an absolute must is the Key Lime Martini. And I have to give big props for this rec...this drink alone is worth a pitstop into Tommy Bahama's. As for the food, we tried the fish tacos and beer-battered crispy fish sandwich. Both of these dishes were fresh and well-prepared. Portions border on the belt-loosening arena. Service for our lunch was first-rate from start to finish. Overall, I have to say that I may not be a big fan of the clothing, but Tommy Bahama's Restaurant is a great place to chillax in between shopping at Wailea. Don't forget...get the Key Lime Martini!

    I don't patronize chain restaurants - however I made an exception based upon TripAdvisor reviews. This is a must go to restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and presentation of the food. Service was great - atmosphere was great and fun. I would never expected this to be a chain - so please don't be afraid

    Really wanted to like this place and, actually, two of three meals were excellent. Unfortunately, the third was a real mess. My wife and I had the day's special--a mango-glazed chicken sandwich with bacon and they were both superb. Our 16-year-old son ordered a regular chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, the waiter keyed it in as a Cuban sandwich. He realized the error when he brought our food, so quickly reurned the erroneous order to the kitchen and said he would put a rush on the correct one. After a not unreasonable wait, he brought the right sandwich, only for us to discover that, in their haste, the cook left a sheet of wax paper on the cheese, which then melted and stuck to the rest of the sandwich. The waiter and management were apologetic, though not effusively so. They were very fair in adjusting the bill and we left a nice tip on the amount they charged us. We know that these things do happen from time to time, so no big deal; we were just disappointed that it happened; thus, three stars instead of more.

    I didn't really care for this place. The menu sounds really good and the bread was tasty with the homemade butter. I had the crispy fish sandwich and it was kind of a weird combination with the burger bun. It was also kind of hard to eat too. The only thing I really liked were the desserts. I preferred the key line pie over the triple chocolate cake.

    Tommy Bahamas had a wonderful drink called the BBC! It is like drinking creamy heaven. I highly recommend it. While I was there, I had the shrimp, scallop curry. It was delicious. The staff was nice and split the entree into two parts so I could share it with my boyfriend. It was enough for two. We had the chocolate flourless cake for dessert. It was delicious. (I heard it was coming off the menu the next day.) The staff is very nice and friendly. On the con side, the first table we were seated at, was dirty and needed to be wiped down. The second table was between two sections and so the two waiters were confused whose table it was and so we waited at least 15 minutes and had to wave someone down to have anyone notice us.

    Located in the Shops at Wailea. We had dinner here on our first night and it was very good. My son is into fish tacos so he had some and I ordered a different variety on wonton type shells. They were both so delicious as was the jerk chicken. We were seated quickly, even though it was quite busy and the waitress was great. Maui prices, of course.

    Our first night in Maui. Closest restaurant. Quite the blue-haired crowd. And located in a shopping mall. I will definitely not go back.

    I was really hesitant to eat at this restaurant. How could a restaurant named after a clothing brand be good rigjt? Well I was pleasantly surprised by this place. My experience started with the very kind and more beautiful hostess who seated us on the deck outside. Our server Luke knew the menu and explained eveything with precision. I had the Kona Coffee rubbed ribeye which was dynamite. It was accompanied by a medly of red potatos, corn, onion and applewood smoked bacon. It was smokey delish and I could have eaten that by itself. My wife had Carribean rubbed mahi which she would not stop ranting about. For desert we had the pineapple creme brulet presented in the actual pineapple. It was creamy perfection. I will go again to sample more things on the menu. So for those of you who might normally avoid a place luke this, give it a shot. You won't regret it. Oh the are gluen free friendly too.

    Food came late, ahi tuna was more mayo than tuna, what passed for Caesar salad would have precipitated the sack of Rome.

    I mean come on, it's Tommy Bahama. The food is ridiculously good. It comes with a price tag but it is a price tag that you are happy to pay. Great live music. Excellent drinks. The flavor of the food is top notch. Our server was happy to answer our questions and explain the dishes. He was very good at making some suggestions while not being too pushy. We ate here on our honeymoon and were delighted to spend an evening here at Tommy Bahamas.

    This place was amazing. Decided to try last minute during our stay in Maui. Great service,great food, and wonderful atmosphere. I am allergic to macadamia nuts like deathly allergic!! And in Maui everything has macadamia nuts. And Tommy Bahamas was no exception. As soon as I let our server know my allergy he and the rest of the restaurant team were extremely accommodating. They specifically cleaned and prepared my entree on a clean macadamia nut free cooking station! The chef came out with my entree and let me know it was safe to eat Ensuring the safety of my meal. How cool was that?! We ordered the scallop sliders so amazing! Great flavor and the scallops were fresh. I ordered the fillet with mash potatoes in burgundy wine sauce and fresh veggies. My steak was cooked perfectly as I ordered it med rare. My husband ordered the shrimp stuffed crab over rice and it was amazing!!! Everything was fresh! Our server was awesome!!! we had a very enjoyable experience. Skip Momma's fish house and and go straight to Tommy Bahamas same menu better food, service, and attitude!

    I started w/the Coconut Martini - frothy & perfectly flavored. Every single bite of dinner was fabulous. We had the crab bisque, lobster ravioli (only 4 ravioli per/order), beet & goat cheese salad & even the rolls w/the cinnamon nutmeg butter was great. We were in rich food heaven. We had read reviews on the Key Lime Pie & they were correct. It was excellent & we're had Key Lime Pie up & down the Keys. The only downside was dinner was very expensive - that's why 4 stars. We shared all of the above, all together we had 2 drinks, 1 soup, 1 salad, 1 entree, 1 dessert & 1 coffee. One plain cup of coffee was $4.25. Our total bill was $130 w/tip. All in all, service was great & we loved what we had, but even for a tourist restaurant, it was just too expensive for us. If we hadn't shared, our bill would have been well over $200. But, for one night, it was great!

    Went for a quick dinner before leaving the island....it was pretty busy, around 4 or so in the afternoon, the Hostess was pleasant, not a long wait. Waited several minutes for our waiter to appear, he was aloof at the table, not a great attitude at all, very cold and not very personable at all. ordered several apps......first problem......the shrimp came with wire, yes wire in one of them, the manager did re-fire another batch for us, thank you. Dinner was reasonable, overpriced....... Upon leaving, we were offered free desserts for the App mess.....we didn't want them....so the apps were removed from the check and we were given some free app cards for our use the time we go to a TB restaurant. Second problem, once we got back Stateside.....we discovered that our CC was rung up for the incorrect amount.....we split the check with another couple and find out that the waiter rang up the full on our credit card.....wonder what happened to the $$$ that the other couple left? the matter was eventually resolved, money refunded, but the damage has been done, sorry, its our second time there and the first time was extremely disappointed in the Key Lime Pie.... it was bland and not what i was expecting from what folks had said. Sorry probably wont go back......Love Maui though.

  • Joel H.

    Just flat out a very cool place. We started with coconut shrimp for our appetizer, then the beet salad and ahi tacos all I would highly recommend. For entrees jerk pork tenderloin and Mahi Mahi both had great sauces that paired well with the meat. We ordered the Chocolate and Coconut cakes the rounded out an outstanding dinner.

  • Angela M.

    The service is great. We dined here twice during our stay. The first time I rated 4 stars. The second time was very disappointing. The fish tacos were mediocre at best. The coconut shrimp was good. The crab cake was awful. My kids didn't like their dinners, either. It's a chain and proved itself to be just that

    Four star review because this is really good food for a casual chain restaurant - it's not4 or 5 star cuisine and the service was good - if you want an up scale burger place with some nice additions to the menu then this is the place for you. I highly recommend the tortilla soup and their bread service is very good. If you want a nice medium scale restaurant for lunch or dinner this place is worth a visit.

  • Jonny W.

    Alway one of the best spots to go until they took away happy hour. Pupus where half off after 9pm with some great drink prices. We still go in from time to time, because the bar tenders are GREAT!!! Plus the TB store is next door and it's fun to check out the new stuff that comes in.

  • Michelle D.

    I was completely wowed by this place! We heard they had good fish tacos but I was thinking it would be just another restaurant that charges double because they can. Well, I didn't mind paying the high prices because the food was such a pleasant surprise! We got the ahi taco appetizer, the blackened fish tacos, the crispy fish sandwich and the small key lime pie. All of it was really good - definitely go there if you have a craving for fish tacos!

  • Greg W.

    Had a wonderful dinner with my wife. We sat on the lanai and listened to some great live music. The staff was all extremely helpful. Our server David P was knowable and led us towards fantastic dishes. The grilled artichoke was cooked perfectly along with our entries. Defiantly a place I would recommend.

    Took the kids here for dinner, and it was a hit....great atmosphere out on the balcony, with the lights and the guy playing guitar at just the right volume. Food was excellent, seafood was fresh and prepared with creativity...and we all loved the coconut shrimp appetizer. Best service we've had all week too. A pleasant surprise for a "chain"....

  • Joseph A.

    Had to come here twice for the key lime pie. Much goodness. Most places that have key lime pie serve it fairly dense like most cheesecakes Here it's served here more of a custard almost like a flan. I originally came here for the pina colada cake which Tommy Bahama's Cafe is know for. I thought it was just okay. Hints of rum and a pinapple filling, it reminds me of an upside down cake but with icing. Had a few appetizers also which were okay. Ahi poke tacos were fairly good, however, their well known appetizer, coconut shrimp, wasn't anything special.

    We were disappointed. The entrees very pricey and were both very bland. We really enjoyed the fish taco and beet salad appetizers but the tuna was surprisingly tasteless and the mahimahi was not very special. The cocktails were ok but not great. Ambience was nice. I would not go back

  • Diana V.

    Stopped in for a late lunch and had Dylan as our server. Dylan was great! I enjoyed the chicken sandwich and my boyfriend had the mahi mahi special sandwich... Both were delicious. Key lime pie for dessert was also very good! We liked it so much we went back the next day. We walked from our hotel in the rain around 3:30. We checked in with the hostess and after some confusion she told us they were closing for a private function. Minus a star for the poor second experience.

    So many great things about my experience at TB's tonight. First, our waiter was exceptionally friendly and made the entire experience very pleasant. He was well-read on all the menu items and helped me make the 'tough' cocktail and meal decisions without any fuss. Sold me on the Seared Ahi and the Grapefruit Basil Martini in minutes. Secondly, the bread (and the BUTTER, which had some sort of cinnamon aspect to it) was phenomenal. Just spectacular. Hard to stay away from. Not going to lie, we got another round after dinner because it was THAT good. Our food came in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious and light. My friends ordered the Thai Shrimp & Scallops, which was also on point (I had the Seared Ahi as I mentioned before). I tried parts of my friend's Paella (an August special) and the grilled artichoke side (which had some sort of parmesan & a great lemony cream dip) and everything was delightful. Would absolutely head back there any time. Two thumbs up. Live music was very relaxed and soothing as well.

  • S.L. M.

    How on earth is this place so highly rated? We went because of the Yelp reviews. Perhaps I should have been alarmed that the most commonly cited item was a burger. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine restaurant but it's a chain, nothing particularly special about it. Your view is of the rest of the mall. Get in your car for 5 minutes and go to Sarento's or any of the fine restaurants in the hotels by the beach.

  • Cindy S.

    Pretty good for a resort town. The staff was very nice and helpful. The live music was enjoyable. Great atmosphere. We would have rated this restaurant with 4 stars, but my dish was not very good. Scallops, shrimp with Thai coconut rice - the scallops were fishy, small and crunchy with sand (inedible), the shrimp was over-cooked, but the rice was amazing!! My suggestion to Tommy Bahama - only offer this dish as a special when the scallops are better. Also, I wish the waitress had steered me away from this when I asked her about it (she simply said "the rice is fantastic" or something like that). Short ribs with mashed potatoes - wow! This was great. Highly recommend. Kids mac and cheese - yummmmm! Our daughter chowed down on this.

    Large party of 8 for happy hour / early dinner. Excellent, excellent polished service. Thank you! No issue with a split check. Great deal on the apps and hr drinks....TIP: let the kids order from the Pupu menu unless you want the standard kid menu junk. We really enjoyed the fish tacos, goat cheese, hummus, sliders and the grapefruit and basil martini was delicious. We will be back. Free concerts on Wednesdays as well at the shopping center. Fun

    My husband and I chose Tommy Bahamas for our post elopement dinner. We are fairly simple people and going to an over the top fancy restaurant just did not make sense. This was the best meal we have had in the week we have been on Maui, it was exactly what we were looking for. The free champagne and dessert were totally unexpected and even in a crowded restaurant it felt intimate.

    Celebrating island lifestyle with every sweet thing tropical living has to offer. Seriously, it's like how to guarantee your kid will eat it, put sugar on it. Chicken? Sugar. Rum? Sugar. Fish? Sugar. Steak? Sugar. Naturally, this comes in tropical flavors of pineapple, papaya, mango, and sugar. Plantains? Cinnamon and Sugar! Alleged favorite drink of the waitstaff? Coconut crusted sugarbomb toasted coconut martini. I was really sad no gin was involved on that one. Here's the deal. If you're coming here looking for anything but a middle of the road, themed chain restaurant with stiff drinks, well, you've found your sweet spot. Want true island cuisine? Look elsewhere. Despite what a local might tell you, this is just an upgraded chain restaurant with a tropical theme.

    Went to Tommy Bahama's for a drink the other night with a friend. We just had a couple of sodas and had such a personable waitress, Katie. She was warm and attentive. Gave us our space and yet conversed occasionally. Really enjoyed the musician as well. This is a nice place to spend some time to relax.

    Being in an area which hosts some of the best restaurants in the Pacific, Tommy Bahama's has its work cut out for them in terms of standing out in crowd of award-winning establishments. As a resident of South Maui, I have frequented Tommy's often throughout the years. The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking of this restaurant is the quality of the food: fantastic. However, as of the past year, my opinion has now shifted that my first thought is of smaller portions and watered down drinks. I still have hope that it will return to its way as a leader in the Wailea restaurant scene, but unfortunately the last few visits have left me a with a sour taste.

  • Josie W.

    Best happy hour! I have been coming here almost every night for their happy hour because it refreshing seeing decent prices in Maui. So far my favorite things are the coconut cloud (great martini) then their ahi crisp and coconut shrimp soooo worth getting! I did try their scallop sliders which were pretty good, extremely filling as an appetizer. The only bummer is that there is no ocean view but there is a nice patio outside. Will be back!!!

    THIS Tommy Bahama Restaurant was always one of our favorite restaurants in Maui. One year ago I suffered a massive heart attack. Eight stents later doctors discovered i have Celiac Sprue. My restaurant days were over. This is my first return to Maui since my my diagnosis. Life is too short so we decided to give "Tommy" a chance. The gluten options were plentiful. There was no sacrifice of flavor or quality. Chad, YOUR TEAM IS AWESOME! Thanks to Laisha for her warm hospitality and her attention to detail on our behalf. And Andy; Andy we cannot thank you enough for taking such personal care on our first night of vacation in beautiful Maui! Yes we will be returning. We will be returning many more times during this vacation stay! PLEASE REST ASSURED IF YOU SUFFER FROM CELIAC OR CELIAC SPRUE THIS IS YOUR LIFELINE TO FEELING NORMAL AGAIN!

    I am usually not a fan of 'chain' restaurants. So, I wasn't thrilled about going here, but I was actually really pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my experience here. There was great service; fresh bread with this amazing butter that tasted like happiness; amazing cocktails (I savored the coconut martini concoction and they had Kona Brewing Coco Brown on tap); and the coconut shrimp fulfilled my need for this Hawaiian classic. For dessert, the husband and I split a chocolate mini-pie thing that was pretty decadent and fabulous. Overall, I think this is a great option for a place to eat out if you are staying in the Wailea area of Maui and don't want to have to drive anywhere. Also, I found out after talking to my server, that Tommy Bahama's does their best to create dishes that are specific to the areas where their restaurants are and use local ingredients. I can really appreciate that.

    Overall good food and drinks. Don't order the short rib entree. More like pot roast. Everything else was good.

  • Bill C.

    Food was very good but our server was less than desirable. Probably because we weren't having a lot of cocktails so he paid more attention to others. Only know what his name is because we heard him telling the girls at another table. Would probably go back. Portions were generous but it was also pricey.

    Laura was our server and she was the highlight of the evening. She knew her food and was the perfect balance between present but unobtrusive. She was also very nice with a ready smile and answered all my (I'm sure) annoying questions. I feel like this place has live music absolutely dialed: not too loud with great songs you can still talk over. The food was the best we've had on Maui. The port tenderloin was cooked perfectly and my wife's scallop sliders and ahi tacos were great as well. Perfectly spiced sums that up.

  • Rachel H.

    Even tho the food was terrific, I can only give the place 3 stars because the service was soooooo slow and the ambiance is really lacking. I'd first been here 11 years ago and really had a great meal and enjoyed the ambiance. It appears that they have not done any freshening up of the establishment since then. The seating in the waiting area was not even fit enough for a bad motel - torn, worn, filthy and musty smelling. Not a good sign, but we stayed. We both had great meals, wonderful appetizers and salads and a mediocre key lime pie. The service seemed to be a kitchen issue, not a server issue - it was about a half hour between finishing a course and seeing the next course arrive. Worth the wait tho. They need to soften the lighting and spruce the place up - it's starting to resemble a Red Robin or something and that's a real shame.

  • Head F.

    Pleasantly surprised - great staff and service with wonderful food We had truly expected, as many have stated, a touristy food fare here - we were proven wrong. The quality of the food was excellent, and the plating of all the dishes we saw was very good The service from all was wonderful - very friendly staff - We passed up going to the one in Newport Beach due to the same per-conceived notion - but now we will go with high expectations Special for the night here in Maui - Mac Encrusted Mahi Mahi - screw that up in Hawaii and you should just leave the Islands for good - they did a phenomenal job with this dish We were disappointed by the Butterscotch pudding dessert - lacking any flavor or butterscotch at all - and more like whipped or even a melted ice cream texture instead of what you expect to be a Thick Rich pudding - and way too much chocolate to over take what was supposed to be the Butterscotch heaven after an excellent meal Oh well - we will just have to try Key Lime Pie next time - we will be back whenever we are here again

  • Howard A.

    We had 3 adults and kids 9 and 2 and enjoyed every moment of our 1 hour dining experience. Robert did a superb job in assisting with menu selection and service. The Mac and cheese with cavatappi pasta is the best on the island! Don't pass up the shop on the way out!

  • Christina M.

    Bad service! Waited forever in a near empty restaurant. The food was good but not great. After we waited forever for a dry burger the waitress said she would have to bring our fries later because the ones they had were not fresh. What were they doing while cooking the burger? The key lime pie was really good.

  • Annie L.

    I can never get enough of Tommy's!!! As soon as I walk into the restaurant, I feel relaxed and can't believe that I really live on this magical island. I'm originally from Orange County and I know that Tommy Bahama's is a chain retail store and restaurant, but they actually use a lot of local ingredients and offer a farm to table menu. I crave the steak salad on the lunch menu that you can also order during dinner (you just need to ask because it is not on the dinner menu). I order the steak medium rare and it is grilled to perfection along with lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes and crispy shitake mushrooms. The salad is actually pretty simple and healthy to make up for the decadent, steaming, fresh, hot bread with beer honey butter!!! I absolutely love their coconut cake and key lime pie (and I'm a total chocoholic). Happy hour is fun and a really good deal, except it's only from 2-5pm. The mojito is a must have. My favorite dinner is the seared ahi. Perfect place for a date or hanging out with the family!

  • Steven M.

    Great little place. I did not know that TB had an eaterie attached to their shop. We sat on the patio and they had a local on his 6 string. Very calming and nice for a Thursday night. I had a mai tai the way they are suppose to be made. Now I had ribs on the brain ever since I saw the ad for Fat Daddy's. I was told by the valet not to go there and suggested this place instead. When I ordered the slab the waitress told me they are marinated in Coke? They were fall off the bone and I sawed thru them in short order. The slaw was pretty good as well. The server kept telling me that she would bring me a towel or a drink, but she seemed to have missed the boat. Now I didn't need it, but they had key lime pie on the menu and you got to choose your size. LG of the Chicago boy. You know. Just in case a tsumani hit, I'd be all set to go!

    Went here on my Birthday the end of Jan 2013 I am not sure if it was because it was my B-Day or if it was because the weather was perfect and or if it was because we sat outside right next to the musician as he played his guitar and sang all the music I enjoyed but I really loved this place... The the food and service was awesome as well... our entrees were Slow Roasted Beef Short Ribs so delicious and tender... and Macadamia Nut Encrusted Snapper so moist and flavorful. The bar drinks were yummy as well... as we left and noticed the Retail Shop I actually said "Wow I would have never imagined one of the best meals and experiences I would have on Maui would be at this place"

  • Hugh M.

    Food was good and the price was in line with other restaurants. If you are looking for dinner with a view of the ocean this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a nice dinner out, space between you and others diners then go here. Nice restaurant to sit outside in the evening and have a relaxing meal while listening to some local live music. It is located in the shopping area close to the Grand Wailea Resort. We had a great server who knew the right pace and made some good suggestions for entree's. I would go back again in the future.

  • Ish A.

    I do see what others say about the dinner pricing but I have to say that they did deliver on food, service, and drinks. Would I go back for dinner? Probably not because I can dine (smartly) at ferraros (oceanfront - 4 seasons) for close to the same price! So, other reviewers definitely have a point. However, if you are looking for variety its a good option. I will return for lunch or happy hour. Really a 3.5 for dinner.

    I have never eaten at a Tommy Bahama's before I have kind of always passed them up. But, we were in a hurry and hungry from walking in the mall so we stopped in for lunch. The restaurant itself is very nice with a large open patio. I just ordered a hamburger and I have to say it was amazing. It was cooked perfectly actually one of the best I have had in a while. The staff were very friendly and our waiter made sure our drinks were never empty. If I am back in the area I would definitely stop back by.

    I didn't know that this place was a restaurant till we happened to walk by and see what looked liked a server. We came by by for dinner one evening during our stay in Wailea. The service was friendly and the food was very good. I liked the special fish I had, very succulent. The pasta dish my wife had was also light and tasty. There was some live music (we couldn't see the musician where we were seated) but he was a nice addition to a pleasant meal. Steak house prices but probably to be expected in Wailea!

    Went here for our last dinner in Maui, never realized Tommy Bahamas had a restaurant associated with its clothing store. So happy we decided to try this place. I made a reservation through Open Table and requested a patio seat and was accommodated. They had live acoustic music on the patio that really gave the place a romantic feel. We started with their Pineapple Mojito and Cucumber Gin cocktails as the waitress recommended these, and they were very tasty. For appetizers, we had the Macadamia Crusted Goat Cheese and Gazpacho. My husband is a chef and he said they did a really good job with the Gazpacho. I am a self-proclaimed cheese expert, and I took several pictures of the goat cheese dish so that my husband can attempt to make it at home because I loved it! For our entrees, we ordered the Jerk Chicken and Macadamia Snapper. My chicken was better than most jerk chicken I'd had in Jamaica even, and my husbands snapper was good, except that it wasn't snapper, but Mahi instead. Apparently there was a shortage of snapper on the island and the restaurant was subbing in Mahi instead, except that they weren't telling people this when they ordered the snapper (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). My husband didn't mind because he loves Mahi, but a man at the table next to us got very angry, reasonably so, when he was brought macadamia Mahi instead of the macadamia snapper he ordered. He said that the waitress should have told him about this, and I agree with him. I believe they ended up comping his meal because he was getting loud enough for surrounding tables to hear him complaining. Other than that, the staff is very friendly here. They take the time to actually talk with you and even joke around a little. Definitely sit on the patio and try as many things as possible because everything we had was good!

    Iced tea good rolls, nuked, hard when they cool. Simple salad...small, but 7.00 I should not expect much. Pork chop is moist and flavorful. Very very overpriced. Worse than expected. They lost me as a customer. Name sucked me in and shot me right out the door. Ok, try it and you will probably say the same thing. Enjoy (I guess).

    This is a great restaurant in the Wailea area. We only went here once, but everything was good. The prices are OK considering the quality and the fact that it is on Maui. The staff was good, but some of them had a lot of attitude. In general, the staff seems to think that working at the Tommy Bahama restaurant is the pinnacle of culinary achievement. Anyway, you will not be disappointed in this restaurant.

    Eh...so-so service and a pretty boring menu. Relaxing atmosphere though. Got some appetizers. Chicken lollipops and crab cake. They were okay.

    For a chain restaurant this place was pretty good. Service and staff were very friendly and efficient. I had the scallop sliders and they were very good. Maybe not 4 star but close. The burgers were excellent and the drinks were fantastic.( Had the cucumber smash) Would come back any time.

    This is a good dining option in Wailea. The food is good and the drinks are as well. The fish tacos were particularly noteworthy (and conveniently part of happy hour). However, happy hour only applies to the bar and booths-- leaving tables in the cold. The service was friendly and expedient which seemed customary for everywhere I dined in Wailea.

    I love, love, love their drinks and "Aloha" hour menu. Everything on the Aloha appetizer menu is delicious and high-end. Adore the Mai-Tai's and the "Spiced Hurricane" drinks. The guacamole/Ahi tuna and the fish tacos are to die for! I'm a little sad to see this place remodeled. Tommy Bahamas has lost it's charme and character. Now the place looks blend and boring. We also came here for dinner and sat at the balcony, listening to live music. Very pleasant and the diner menu is good as well. Still, the 3-5pm Happy Hour is fantastic! A must if you are in the mood for great food and drinks!

    fantastic restaurant and dining experience! went here for lunch and had a baja margarita (fantastic!), split the coconut shrimp appetizer with my husband, and had the grilled chicken sandwich. the sandwich wasn't on the menu because it was the special of the day. the sandwich included grilled chicken, chipolte sauce, black beans, grilled corn, guacamole, and melted cheese. absolutely one of the best meals and experiences I've ever had at a restaurant! we had EXCELLENT service from Daniel and all in all, both my husband and I were VERY pleased with our meals and the experience. definetly a must if you visit Maui :)

    Way too expensive for what you get. Crispie fish sandwich was so loaded with wet pickle, wet lettuce, wet tomato, and fried onions that not only was the breading on the fish soaked, but the bun was wet also. Ended up eating the fish with a fork and ditching the rest. Even at that, the fish was not top quality and was mostly tasteless. My wife's veggie burger was beans and rice and tasted OK but is way over priced for what it is. Iced tea and coffee at five bucks each is probably typical for an upscale place and tasted good, but still a lot more than it should be. With tip, $50 is way too much for the poor quality food. Good wait staff does not make up for that.

    Whoever would have thought that making khakis & Hawaiian shirts for old dudes would equate to the ability to serve up decent drinks & food! I would have never in a million years given this place a shot but my coworker who is pretty spot on with her travel/dining advice "highly-recommended" this place. Since we were exploring the Shops at Wailea, we decided to have lunch and drinks here. The one item my coworker says is an absolute must is the Key Lime Martini. And I have to give big props for this rec...this drink alone is worth a pitstop into Tommy Bahama's. As for the food, we tried the fish tacos and beer-battered crispy fish sandwich. Both of these dishes were fresh and well-prepared. Portions border on the belt-loosening arena. Service for our lunch was first-rate from start to finish. Overall, I have to say that I may not be a big fan of the clothing, but Tommy Bahama's Restaurant is a great place to chillax in between shopping at Wailea. Don't forget...get the Key Lime Martini!

    I don't patronize chain restaurants - however I made an exception based upon TripAdvisor reviews. This is a must go to restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and presentation of the food. Service was great - atmosphere was great and fun. I would never expected this to be a chain - so please don't be afraid

    Really wanted to like this place and, actually, two of three meals were excellent. Unfortunately, the third was a real mess. My wife and I had the day's special--a mango-glazed chicken sandwich with bacon and they were both superb. Our 16-year-old son ordered a regular chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, the waiter keyed it in as a Cuban sandwich. He realized the error when he brought our food, so quickly reurned the erroneous order to the kitchen and said he would put a rush on the correct one. After a not unreasonable wait, he brought the right sandwich, only for us to discover that, in their haste, the cook left a sheet of wax paper on the cheese, which then melted and stuck to the rest of the sandwich. The waiter and management were apologetic, though not effusively so. They were very fair in adjusting the bill and we left a nice tip on the amount they charged us. We know that these things do happen from time to time, so no big deal; we were just disappointed that it happened; thus, three stars instead of more.

  • Collin W.

    I didn't really care for this place. The menu sounds really good and the bread was tasty with the homemade butter. I had the crispy fish sandwich and it was kind of a weird combination with the burger bun. It was also kind of hard to eat too. The only thing I really liked were the desserts. I preferred the key line pie over the triple chocolate cake.

    Tommy Bahamas had a wonderful drink called the BBC! It is like drinking creamy heaven. I highly recommend it. While I was there, I had the shrimp, scallop curry. It was delicious. The staff was nice and split the entree into two parts so I could share it with my boyfriend. It was enough for two. We had the chocolate flourless cake for dessert. It was delicious. (I heard it was coming off the menu the next day.) The staff is very nice and friendly. On the con side, the first table we were seated at, was dirty and needed to be wiped down. The second table was between two sections and so the two waiters were confused whose table it was and so we waited at least 15 minutes and had to wave someone down to have anyone notice us.

  • Sandra M.

    Located in the Shops at Wailea. We had dinner here on our first night and it was very good. My son is into fish tacos so he had some and I ordered a different variety on wonton type shells. They were both so delicious as was the jerk chicken. We were seated quickly, even though it was quite busy and the waitress was great. Maui prices, of course.

    Very good food and the restaurant is exceptionally clean as it should be. Wait service was on the mark. The Macadamia goat cheese was very flavorful. Thai shrimp and scallop coconut curry was great. I would go here again.

    Usually this place is very good. However, this time they dropped the ball. Although the food was up to par the service was horrible. Waiting almost two hours for food when having a year old baby at the table is catastrophic.

    Had artichoke for appetizers and crab stuffed shrimp and thai shrimp and scallop for entree. All of them are exceptionally delish but nothing topped thai shrimp and scallop. It had asian curry flavor with rice and succulent shrimp to go with it. Loved the service, the waiters, atmosphere and the heck! It's tommy bahamas!! :D

    Definitely my favorite restaurant in Maui! If you want an ocean view and cheap fast food - this is not your place! I'm sorry to say it bluntly. Unfortunately, a million dollar complex has gone up a few years ago and took away the once beautiful view they had. Bummer, but, what can you do!?! BUT, if you want great tasting food with the freshest local produce, this is a place to check out! The prices may be a bit high for some, but seriously, this is Maui - Lots of things are expensive! The great thing is this :: Happy Hour!! Its reasonable and the quality is still the same. Last year the restaurant went under a hefty renovation and reopened just before and in time for the annual Starry Night event with Maui Film Festival. The new look is FAB-U-LOUS! The bar has a more open and contemporary look. Overall it looks fresh, chic, and definitely what I would expect a Tommy Bahamas to look like. Really works well being in the Wailea area of Maui. Love the new "do", it feels much more open in comparison to what it used to look. It can get a little loud, it is in a mall, and the restaurant is for the most part open aired. It also attracts a lot of families with children, and also the friends who like to hang out to have a few martinis and chit-chat. But, I have to say, the crowd for the most part is not the "young-ins." This crowd is mixed with business people, golfers, tennis pros, honeymooners, and families who are staying in Wailea. Theres a lot of locals who frequent the restaurant as well. You can tell when the bartender knows the clients name and the clients know when the bartender is coming back from vacation! The service I have to admit is a work in progress, but it's definitely not terrible at all. So, if you are ever in Maui and want to check out a restaurant that can offer a great meal with tasty drinks (Strawberry Lemonade Martini - my favorite, or a mojito!), or just check out small bites and drinks during happy hour, Tommy Bahamas is a must stop in spot! Just sayin!

    From start to finish this place beat my expectations. My wife and I thought it would be "chainy", but it had a great menu and really good service. Definitely trust the reviews on this one.

  • Alex A.

    WOW!!!! This place is great! We were kind of hesitant because of the price, but it is absolutely worth it. We started with the fish tacos and Flatbread with mango and goat cheese (it made me extremely moist) it's that good. I GOT MOIST PEOPLE!! My wife got a key like martini, it came with graham cracker on the rim. Imagine desert with alcohol in it... that's as far as we've got we are still here. I'm just sayin' my britches are soaking.. and I'm a dude.

  • Nickey W.

    Food is decent I honestly wasn't wowed by there huge selection of entrees. I would come here again but not first on my list of restaurants on Maui. I ordered the kona coffee crusted ribeye and was suppose to get potato salad which i didnt get. Came out of the kitchen with a bed of greens. I guess they thought i wouldn't notice, anyways didn't mention anything to the waitress. (This was after they told me they didn't have the tiger shrimp pasta available because the alfredo sauce was all burnt.) Reflected in her tip. Save the hassle and your money try Ruth Chris' steak house across the way.

  • Barbara M.

    Checked all the menus at the various restaurants in the shopping area and chose Tommy's quickly. Ate outside with live smooth guitar music. Lovely! Wish he would have sold CDs of his music. Anyway, back to the food...coconut shrimp was fresh and tasty. Crab bisque soup was as good as it gets. I had bbq ribs that were delish and hubby had Thai shrimp and scallops. There is more on the menu to try!

    Absolutely nothing special about this place. The food portions are tiny, especially the salads which are just about a handful of veggies on a small plate for $10+. Service is slow and the food is just above average for this island.

  • Amie P.

    Daily happy hour 2-5 pm with strong Mai Thai's for $7. Ahi Tuna Poke decent for $9 yet you can get better flavor with the dragon roll at Safeway in Kihei. The location is convenient as it is located inside the shops at Wailea. Ample, complimentary parking and the bar has an open atmosphere which includes live music ( not certain if it's daily). I would describe the Personality behind the bar is equivalent to communicating with goats, add the "l" to the vocabulary and you get "blahhhhhh"!!!

    I don't know how we ended up here but I was pretty dubious; I think we were in a bind and just needed to feed the kids and ourselves. I had figured it's just some kind of tourist-trap thing; it's attached to the Tommy Bahama's clothing store; no real chance it could be good. Wrong. Delicious food, great service. Would definitely go back.

    We walked over to Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar - Wailea during our stay at the Marriott Wailea. The front reception folks left us a bit concerned, in fact we were preparing for a horrible experience based upon the pretentious and cold greeting we received. (Maybe the three young ladies up front were inexperienced and not yet schooled on customer service etiquette???). We were seated WAY in the back away from all other patrons, entertainment, views, etc. We kept positive attitude (give Aloha and it will come back to you!) smiled, and waited for the server/food etc. We had no further disappointments.Once we were seated, our server treated us like royalty and we were also visited by the manager, who offered us dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Although we tried to stay lo-carb - the bread was simply amazing, so don't skip, it is worth every stinkin carb!! The food was "good" but the service is what made our dining experience A-OK. We will definitely go back.

    food was delicious; staff was energetic (snappiest service we experienced on Maui) friendly, and dressed in Tommy Bahama style; clean, comfortable, and tropical decor--it had a theme to it without being cheesy--hard to pull off and they do it well; clean bathrooms we'd go back!

  • Jill T.

    Ordered the poke appetizer, the fish was sooo fresh. It is spicey which I like but my friend had a hard time eating it. For an entree I ordered the roasted vegetables. They were unbelievably perfect and yummy. They were very clean, no oil or salt. For just $2 extra you can order a side of grilled chicken, which I did just in case I wanted it the next day. If you don't eat a lot this will make for nice and healthy left overs. Waiter was gorgeous and so kind, but service was Maui style, sllloooooowwww and the restaurant was empty. Oh well, like I said, Maui style.

    we ate some fantastic food and had a wonderful dining experience here while staying in Wailea. I loved eating out on the patio with the warm breezes and the stars...just beautiful!

  • Bethany D.

    So nice we ate here twice! Great restaurant with fabulous drinks! The reviews are spot on. Great restaurant with lots of options. My recommendations are the coconut shrimp appetizer, seared Ahi Tuna and Macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi. We didn't try any of the desserts but they looked delicious. They also could be ordered in different sizes which was nice depending on the size of the party. Drink recommendations are the Grapefruit Basil Martini and the Bye Bye Blues. Delicious! I hear the happy hour was great but we were only there during dinner time. It is a little less expensive compared to other options in the area so it's a good change of pace. I recommend making a reservation if it's busy season. We didn't have one our first night but it was not yet Thanksgiving week. Our second visit we made a reservation through Open Table and got right in while others were waiting for 30 minutes. It's a must visit place. Highly recommended!!

  • Staycie K.

    Fantastic happy hour with great food and drink selection, fair warning it can get crowded at this time. If youre looking for a lunch salad, try the steak salad, it comes with amazing shitake mushrooms on top that add the perfect touch and the steak is always tender and cooked to your preference.

  • Stephen D.

    Bomb diggity! Great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend! Started with the goat cheese. Delicious. The margarita with Souza commemorotivo was delicious. My wife had the ahi tuna which was cooked perfectly and one of the better ways I've had this dish prepared. I are the coconut shrimp. Flavorful big plump shrimp fried perfectly. Small salad I had was excellent as well. I would def put this on your Maui list!

    Randomly went to dinner here on the recommendation of the concierge of my hotel and was really pleased. My wife, 23 month old and I devoured ahi tacos, a great macadamia snapper and a surprisingly well conceived and executed chicken dish followed by an above average key line pie (my favorite dessert) and an exceptional cup of coffee. That would have all made this a 4 star if somewhat pricy ($30+ entrees) review. What made this a 5 star night was our waiter, Lucas. I have lived on both coasts of the US and throughout Asia and have eaten in lots of good to excellent restaurants yet this is the first time I can genuinely say the waiter was the highlight of the meal... He was on point and not condescending with my kid, his pace and general attention was excellent, and he was just awesome. I am writing my first review in who knows how many years just because this guy wowed me. If you are in the area and willing to shell out a bit for a nice meal, give this place a look.

  • Nicole C.

    Pineapple jalapeño Mojito Is amazing! I am literally going to try to replicate this. First off, Great service all around! Our waiter was knowledgeable on the entree's, beverages and desserts. I like to ask the server what they recommend and this guy was spot on with each recommendation. We had the Ahi Taco's for appetizer and I could have literally had this for dinner. Super tasty! The Key Lime Pie was what we had for dessert and it was amazing! An absolute must try and Tommy Bahama signature! (Nothing to do with the restaurant but funny as all heck...watching some buzzed guy repeatedly photo bomb a couple of Japenese tourists) all in good fun of course, but it was hilarious to watch. Aside from all this...actually leaving the table at the beginning of dinner to go buy my husband a new shirt from the store (he was not happy with the one he was wearing) was a huge plus! My ideal meal here: Ahi Tacos for a meal with a Pineapple Jalapeno Mojito! Can be found in the dictionary under: Refreshing!

  • Carlyn M.

    I was a little nervous to try a chain restaurant when on vacation but this place was great with a touch of local flavor! Started out with a basil martini and it was mmm hmmm goood! We had the chicken lollipops to start and there was just enough for the 3 of us! The chicken fell right off the bone and perfectly cooked. The Parmesan crusted chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Great kids menu and service rocked!

    First of all this is certainly not a $$ restaurant it's a $$$. We ordered two meals and spent $100 without ordering any alcohol. My wife's meal was a chicken plate! The food was good, not great as I would expect spending that much money. The food portions where also very, very small for that kind of a price tag. I ordered the shrimp pasta and it came with 3 shrimp lol. I'm not sure how this got such a good yelp rating. I would go somewhere else.

  • Kevin O.

    Love this place. Incredible drinks and happy hour. Greg is by far the best server on Maui! We live on the south side and come in at least a few times per week and always sit in his section. He brings our drinks out as he greets us and has our lunch order memorized. There's no better place for great lunch with perfect service in Wailea!

  • Aly R.

    Ambiance was ok, in a strip mall, next to the retail store. We were hoping for more from the food. I had the macadamia nut crusted fish and the crust was definitely heavy, there was also a heavy panko crust on the special rib appetizer we ordered. Flavors were good, but hard to finish as we got full quickly. Priced on the higher side.

  • Krista S.

    I had been shopping in the mall and just happened to go there for a drink as my family and I were extremely thirsty. Of course we just couldn't have a drink so we ordered just a few pupus. We ordered 2 orders of the fish tacos and an order of the slider burgers. Food was excellent. I ate every last bit and I wasn't even hungry. Our server was amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Gave us great advice on where to go for breakfast and places to not waste our money on as we wouldn't be happy. I would and will go back here again. I'm actually going to go once more before I fly home to canada!! Oh and what I thought was very special and unique was after the meal they give u a postcard to send to someone in their dime. I thought that was a very cool addition. Good job guys!!! Keep it up!!

    I think I my expectations were set too high by other reviews and we wanted to try a new place to dine. After eating here, I don't think the food held up to par against places like Mama's Fish House or Nick's Fishmarket. It certainly doesn't beat places like Ruth's Chris Steak House next door or anywhere else when it comes to service. In fact Nick's outdoes the service at Tommy's. For the price rating, it is easy to go over the $50 per person which is a Nick's or Ruth's rating, if it was not for the prefixed menu. The coconut shrimp was okay, but not the rave I expected. I had the curry scallops and shrimp and when it came, there were only 2 of each. I got more filet mignon from the Ruth's Chris for the same 3 course menu. The wife had seared ahi, but it was nothing awe inspiring to write home about. I will say the service was very good, not above and beyond. Although the house was pretty packed, I still think you can do better for the food and money somewhere else. Even if you have to go to Ruth's, it's not that much more, especially when they have a $40 prefixed menu as well.

    Forget that this place has a ridiculous name and just try it--you'll be pleased you did. It's a yummy place for lunch (never had dinner there) and you'll be very satisfied whether you order the burger (my hubby's fave) or the Aruba salad (my fave). The only negative is that it's not cheap.

    We eat at our local Tommy Bahama's back home often and love it, always a pleasant experience. This was our first time to dine at the Tommy B in Maui (there are so many great eats in Maui and it was hard to justify it but we did this time). It was entirely sub-par. They have no local beer on their menu (you have to ask for it and the waiter had to go ask himself). The cocktail drinks we ordered where watered down and didn't taste that great, just overpriced. We had the swordfish which was glazed with some kind of sauce that tasted fine but it completely overpowered the swordfish (which generally holds up great to spices and seasonings). Also, the fish was flat, thin, and not as juicy as it should be ( we have never received a swordfish that looked like this anywhere). Our server was fine but we just wanted to get out (Maui has been experiencing record high humidity and heat thanks to el nino this year) and this restaurant is like a furnace when the wind isn't blowing. Overall this was a completely disappointing dining experience and we won't be wasting a meal on this place next time when there are so many other great options on Maui! Skip this one, many better options out there!

  • Annie Z.

    Came here for happy hour because it was recommended by a few locals. First off - no air conditioning. Which I assume isn't a problem most of the time; however, we were in hawaii during hurricane season so it was very very humid. The fish tacos were really good, but the chicken lollipops were very dry and ahi poke isn't really ahi poke - it's tuna tartare. I find wailea to be much more expensive than other areas on maui and more or less a hit or miss. This restaurant isn't much of an exception. Pricey and just okay. maybe San Francisco has spoiled me!

    When I hear the word "Tommy Bahama", I automatically think about the Tommy Bahama camp silk shirts. Never in my wildest dreams do I associate "Tommy Bahama" to a Restaurant. Well, that all changed today, as I met up with my good friend Robert, who I consider my "big bruddah!" And his beautiful wife tonight for a meal at Tommy's. What can I say........the Tommy Bahama restaurant is located in the beautiful shopping complex called - The Shops at Wailea. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor, just upstairs from Longhi's restaurant. What can I say about the restaurant? This is an open air restaurant, it has beautiful decor, and they keep the theme of -"relaxed, casual, & island lifestyle. There was live music tonight, but we were at the other end of the restaurant, so although I could here the music, I was not really paying too much attention. The Tommy Bahama restaurant menu offers a lot of seafood items, as well as steaks, ribs, & salads. If you're not into any of that, they do offer burgers & sandwiches too. They have a full bar, featuring mixed drinks, wine, & beer. We ordered a few items for tonight's dinner, we had the following - 1. Ahi Poke Napoleon - Poke with capers, sesame, guacamole, & flatbread. 2. Seared Ahi Tuna - Chili & Brown Sugar, Vegetable Succotash, Edamame Puree. 3. Macadamia Nut Encrusted Snapper - Hawaiian Red Sea Salt, Grilled Asparagus, Almond Rice, Wasabi Soy Beurre. 4. Kona Coffee Crusted Ribeye - Cauliflower- Chive Mash, Lemon Arugula, Garlic Butter. 5. Coconut Cake 6. French Pressed Coffee 7. Beers, Wine, & a Mai Tai What can I say about da grindz? To start our meal, we ordered a - "Ahi Poke Napoleon" for an appetizer, and when we got it, I want to say it kinda reminded me of a dish I've eaten before from Uncle Fish Market & Grill. The poke was good, but I really liked the flat bread which came with the dish. The flat bread kind of reminded me of a lavash sticks. For my dinner, I ordered the "Seared Ahi Tuna", and I was really pleased with my meal choice! What can I say..........bruddah Fran GOT DA GRINDZ tonight!!!!! Nom! Nom! Nom! The ahi was seared perfectly, and the chili & brown sugar sauce was delicious! The mixture of the sauce was not spicy, but there was a hint of sweetness from the soy based sauce. The vegetable succotash also complemented the fish real well! My friends ordered the Macadamia Nut Encrusted Snapper & the Kona Coffee Crusted Ribeye (Sorry gang, I forgot to get pics of this). And for dessert, we got the delicious coconut cake! It was so light & delicious! And of course, how can you not have some locally grown coffee? LOVE IT!!!! Service was EXCELLENT! As our waitress was very attentive, as she always came by to check on us. Food was served quickly after we placed our order. What a wonderful meal! But as beautiful as the restaurant was, and how wonderful the food was...........as I had said this before............. There is nothing better in this lifetime, then to spend it with your family & friends.........it really doesn't matter when you go, or what you eat.............it's all about taking the time out from your busy schedule to spend it with your loved ones. That's what ohana is all about!

    We chose to eat here after watching an amazing sunset. We were asked inside or outside, but with the humidity there wasn't much of a difference. We chose outside and we're taken to a table that was sandwiched by two families. I wasn't bothered by this at all. Our waitress was by our side immediately asking for our drink order. She came back with water since we were still deciding. We both ordered drinks from the bar, that took forever. For appetizers we got the coconut shrimp which was amazing. I got a cup of crab bisque that was made with sherry and cream. It tasted like there was a full bottle of sherry added to it. We gave our entree orders and tried having conversations amidst these families telling their kids to be quiet but the parents were louder than the children. Our food came out and it was huge portions. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and his ribs fell off the bones. The food was good but it was do hot outside, it was hard to eat. If you are looking to spend quite a bit of money, then by all means this is where you should go. I just wasn't impressed with our waitress. I felt that she sized us up and thought she wouldn't get a good tip so we were ignored.

    This is a perfect place for a relaxing lunch or casual dinner. LOCATION: At The Shops of Wailea, second level on the ocean side. ATMOSPHERE: It's open-air but air conditioned with tropical decor, a big central bar, and a spacious lanai with big umbrellas for outdoor seating. The once great view of the ocean is now taken up by a condo, but is still very nice. I always opt for outdoor seating if possible. It's beautiful during the day and more gorgeous at night. All the umbrellas are taken away, making the outdoor lanai visually bigger. Ambient lighting is strung over the railings and a live singer entertained us. The restaurant is attached to their small clothing boutique. BEVERAGE: Sangria - It's not too heavy on the alcohol but is full of flavor. A very tasty and refreshing drink for lunch. We got a pitcher which was perfect for the three of us. A bit pricey at $30+. Duvel Belgian Ale Beer - This was really good and pretty strong. I'm a Heineken fan and I loved it. FOOD: House Bread - Pull apart bread with a side of cinnamon butter. Very good. Macadamia Nut Encrusted Goat Cheese - A ball of spreadable cheese comes with thin and crunchy flatbreads. Very light and a great app to share. Seared Scallop Sliders - Two sliders with a generous amount of scallops seared to perfection with green veggies, and onions, and topped with French fried onions. Tommy's Great Big Crispy Fish Sandwich - My favorite dish here. The beer-battered fish is crispy, flaky, and huge; it hangs out of the bread on both ends! Toppings are pickles, tomato, caramelized onions, and lettuce. Shoestring fries and a very tasty tartar sauce are on the side. It's a big portion which two can share for a light lunch but it's the perfect size for me. Oink! Crab Stuffed Shrimp - Four pieces of shrimp, stuffed with a crab mixture and topped with wilted spinach. The crab mixture didn't have much taste to it unfortunately, and the Thai chili sauce was a little too sweet for me. This dish would be better if it was prepared with simple garlic & butter. It came with a mound of mushy steamed almond rice which was another disappointment. Bleh. Just give me mashed potatoes! Pass. RESERVATIONS: We usually come for lunch and walk in without reservations and normally get seated immediately. SERVICE: All of the servers have been friendly and professional at both lunch and dinner. OVERALL: Great food, good service, relaxing ambiance and moderate pricing. Very touristy, like all of south Maui.

    Best steak in Maui. My friend managed the shopping center and on his recommendation tried it. Wow the blue cheese with the steak sauce just killer. Fiancée ordered cheeseburger she lived it. Price is a little high but I don't mind paying it if food stays consistently good like this. Will be back!!!!!

  • Krista G.

    Great food! I got the Parmesan encrusted Sanibel chicken, and it was amazing. Great flavor and well prepared. My husband and I got Martina's- a coconut one and grapefruit one and we're both very good. Great atmosphere, casual attire and very friendly staff.

    The lollipop chicken is and always will be heaven for me. Our family loves this place and over the course of a week's vacation, we have been known to go several times. My daughter lives for the artichoke. My son lives for the burger. My other daughter lives for both the bread and the filet medallions. Hubby lives for any/all appetizer that you put in front of him--the crab cakes and the coconut shrimp never stand a chance when he's at the table. I usually get a salad and fill up on the heaven/lollipops. Always great service, always yummy food, always a staple for our family.

    We sat on the patio which was nice because they have live music. The service was great- the manager even checked on us to see if we were doing okay. We ordered the pitcher of sangria which is a bit much for two people, but really good. We both had the crab bisque as an appetizer which was delicious and filling. For my meal, I ordered the papaya salad and added shrimp to it. I was disappointed when I got it as it was not at all what I expected. It was just shredded papaya and other veggies on a large piece of lettuce. I was expecting an actual salad of mixed greens. It's not something I would eat as a meal, and it wasn't even that great tasting. I let our server know that I was disappointed and she was extremely nice about it and even took it off of our bill. The manager came and apologized too and offered to get me something to replace it. My boyfriend had the chili shrimp meal which he said was good. For dessert we ordered the pineapple creme brûlée which is a MUST try. It was one of the best creme brûlées I've ever had. It was severed in an actual slice of pineapple and had caramelized pineapple pieces throughout. I would come back just for this. Overall, the atmosphere is nice, the service was impeccable, but the food was just okay. The dessert gets an A+ though.

    Editing my original review: The food is fantastic, and the setting is beautiful. I had a rather poor experience with the same waiter a few times, but the manager Chad just reached out to follow up with me. We had a good talk, and it's very clear in my mind that he's dedicated to holding his restaurant to very high standards. He's kept me as a loyal customer.

    What a surprise. Ate there twice on my trip. Love it! The food is fantastic. The night we were there they had live music on the patio. Drinks are great and so are the Yucca fries!! Location: Shops At Wailea (second floor), Plenty of parking, or walking distance from pretty much anywhere in Wailea.

  • Tony S.

    Starters - coconut shrimp is amazing truly truly best food this trip, fresh crab cake nice solid choice but not exceptional, jam crustini great feedback, great combination of strong flavours. Mains - blackened ahi tuni salad was great, good crunchy salad, melt in the mouth tuna, good menu choice, fish tacos were fresh and tasty, the apple banana was an interesting add. The ribs were solid and safe but uninspiring. Dessert - creme brûlée in a pineapple awesome according to the 21 year old, high praise indeed...., Pineapple shortcake was nice, the chocolate mousse cake was defined as cool, it got taken home Pina Colada big thumbs up, cucumber smash too much alcohol, baja margarita was good and strong, zero alcohol drinks also high praise from the teenage contingent. Greg was a great server, really added to the experience.

    I've yet to have a single less than savory experience at this gorgeously-appointed, well-run, and overall splendid spot. From their fauxjitos and lobster bisque to their bustling happy hour, Tommy Bahama's is a gem. I can't think of a single way to improve this place--it's that damn good.

    We had just arrived in Maui and decided to head here for lunch. We had eaten here before on our previous visit to Maui 6 years ago. And I have eaten at the location in Las Vegas. We got a nice table on the patio outside. It was a bit hot and the sunny was shining down on us so that was the only drawback. They need umbrellas or more covered spots. Also, the place use to have a nice ocean view but the condo complex next door took the view away. Oh well. We started with their bread and ginger cinnamon butter. The butter is really flavorful but the flavors don't overpower. Bread is warm and soft. I had the grilled shrimp cobb salad without the egg. It was very tasty. Lots of blue cheese. The shrimp were grilled nicely and had a good char on them. The dressing was flavorful. And you can't go wrong with avocado. My mom had the crispy fish sandwich. The piece of fish was huge. She could barely pick up the sandwich. The fish was a tad on the greasy side but was really flavorful. This is always a good option when you want a nice meal but not too expensive. Plus its in a shopping center so you can shop too. And have ice cream nearby.

    Our meal was great, and the service from our waiter Jake was excellent, but the biggest hero of the night was the restaurant manager Chad. First of all, service was prompt and friendly. The bread was warm, and the rum cocktails were great. While the kids and I skipped appetizers, my husband had the crab bisque which I tried and agreed was superb. The bread was fresh and arrived hot. Entrees arrived on time and we're excellent. My son had the pulled pork with which he was delighted, while my husband and I had the swordfish. The swordfish was prepared very well, although my husband thought his was a bit undercooked. He had his sent back and they returned with one the was more well done very quickly. Kudos for the promptness on correcting it. He was really happy with it. We all had desserts which were excellent. I had the piña colada cake which was awesome. My daughter loved her pineapple creme brule, and both my husband and my son loved their key lime pie. Aside from my husband's entrée, everything else was perfect meal-wise. However, the true winner of the night was restaurant manager Chad! Not only did he check on our dinner to make sure it met (or exceeded) expectations, he became a savior when our parking validation did not work. Toward the end of our meal, Jake validated our parking without hesitation and we thought all would be well, but when we got to the gate, the validation payment card didn't work! We weren't pleased to say the least, so my husband went back to the restaurant and word got back to the manager Chad. Not only did Chad call to speak with the parking vendor company, he literally walked outside all the way to the parking gate (about a 500 ft. walk from the restaurant!) and waited there for us, (selflessly assisting other mall patrons with their parking validation in the mean time!) until we got to the gate. Then he pressed the call button on the gate box and insisted to the person (voice) on the other side "this is my guest, please let them out." WOW. If that's not service, I don't know what is. That was simply amazing. I can only imagine what Chad would do to make things right for anyone where something wasn't right INSIDE the restaurant after seeing service like that. All I can say is that a restaurant is only as good as those who run it and work it, and with managers like Chad and waiters like Jake, you're in superb hands at Tommy Bahama's Wailea. Mahalo to them both!

    Great location, great service, great ambiance, and great cuisine! I can say honestly I didn't even know about this place until we found it on yelp, and it was a GREAT CHOICE for dinner in paradise- aka Maui! Service by Kathy (most attentive and genuine waitress EVER!) and live acoustic contemporary music by an awesome local artist( sorry missed his name!!) We had chicken lollipops and bacon jam Brie as appetizers, crab bisque (da bomb!!!) filet mignon and apple risotto DELISH! Don't forget we killed ourselves with the TO DIE FOR malted chocolate pie and key lime, I will come back for the chocolate pie for sure next time in town! I highly recommend this spot for foodies on Maui =)

    We ate here tonight for our last dinner in Maui this trip. The server was fantastic and we enjoyed talking with him about growing up in Hawaii. I had the special swordfish, my wife had the Parmesan crusted chicken, and my son and the burger sliders. The fish had a nice grilled flavor, but was drenched with the ratatouille, which detracted noticeably from the taste. My wife's chicken was okay, but my Parmesan chicken blows this out of the water without question. The sliders were acceptable to a hungry kid. The wine was advertised as Caymus but failed to note it was the 40 Year Anniversary Caymus which is nowhere near the regular Cabernet. I could have sent it back but decided it was not worth the hassle. So overall considering the price, another disappointing Maui restaurant dinner. Great island and vacation, but the food here leaves much to be desired. These 4 and 5 star Yelpers have no idea what a great meal truly is. Especially for $250.

    I recently went here on my trip to Maui with my family. We ordered the Coconut Shrimp dish that they were world famous for and we were blown away! The food and service is perfect, and the atmosphere is really nice. The waiters were very kind and friendly. They always checked in on us and asked how our food was. I ordered the Smokehouse Bacon Burger which was probably the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. This place is a true wonder and I look forward to coming back! Best food in Maui!

    We go to Tommy Bahama's on Sunday night so we can enjoy the live music of Howard Ahea. Food is good but to rich for me. I like lite choices. They need kale salad or spinach salad! Very pricey! But Howard is always great!

  • Adrienne T.

    Happy Hour was delicious. Had the angus sliders and fish tacos; both were so flavorful and just the right amount of food for 2 people to share. Try the Pain Killer for drinks if you like cream and nutmeg and rum! We had the creme brulee for dessert which was also fantastic; placed in the bottom of a pineapple and topped with strawberry and mint. The hosts and waiters were also very friendly and welcoming.

  • Liane R.

    We sat at the bar and had great service and good food. The addition of parking makes this restaurant too pricey. It's too bad this shopping center is now charging $6/ hour for parking. This restaurant does not validate parking. We will instead be exploring other options in the area.

    We loved this place, food, drinks and service were all excellent. We had a great table outside in the shade which is what we asked for. We had the pork burger with mango sauce...to die for. That was by far the best burger ever and I consider myself a burger snob. The lump crad salad was refreshing and sweet. We said we were going to split the meals which they did for us, without asking. Pina colada cake...intoxicating. Service was spot on.

    Trying to avoid eating in our hotel, the wife and I stopped by for lunch one day. Located on the 2nd floor of the Shops at Wailea, the restaurant itself is pretty nice. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating has no view. Just a view of the back of some buildings. Service here is generally good. Our server was great, but the hostess seemed like she really didn't want to be there. As for the food, the wife and I decided to order a bunch of appetizers for our meal. Our order consisted of the Ahi Poke Napoleon, Ahi Tacos, Yuzu Shrimp Tacos, Coconut Crusted Crab Cakes, and the "World Famous" Coconut Shrimp. Some items were a complete let down. The Ahi Poke Napoleon is more of a lightly flavored tartare with too much avocado and the Yuzu Shrimp Tacos barely had any shrimp and definitely had no yuzu flavor at all. The Ahi Tacos were good, but had more slaw than ahi, while the Coconut Crusted Crab Cakes didn't taste fresh, didn't taste like coconut, but had little filler. The "World Famous" Coconut Shrimp was also a letdown, with a not as strong shrimp flavor as I would have expected, while the shrimp were very greasy. I have to say, the Coconut Shrimp at Aulani are still my favorite. The bill for lunch with two non-alcoholic drinks, tax and tip was around $100. Really pricy if you ask me, but our fault for ordering all those appetizers. Not sure the price would have been much different had we ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer or two though. Overall, probably better than eating at the hotel if you're staying somewhere like the Wailea Beach Marriott, but it's a pricy option with just average food.

    Everything was excellent as it should be for the price. Had the ahi tuna with guac n crackers yum. Shrimp n scallops good. Stuffed breaded chiclen yum. Cauliflowe mash was really good too. For dessert you must try the coconut pineapple cake. Great way to end the meal. Nice outdoor seating. Not too crowded. Staff is friendly and attentive. Live music.

  • Laura M.

    I went to this restaurant with 3 other adults and 2 children and the service was brilliant. We started off with the cinnamon butter and fresh bread which was delicious. I opted for the shrimp stuffed with crab which was very tasty but everyone enjoyed their meals - the mahi mahi was a favourite as well as the beef special. The kids menu was varied and went down well as well as the choice of Virgin cocktails. We were sat on a table outside and we were very glad we went there rather than the restaurant across the road.

  • Ginette S.

    Great food and service! Our server was attentive, informative and charming. He basically picked out our food for us. Gluten free protein style turkey burger for me and ribs for my husband. We also has ahi poke tacos which were to die for. Our kids had chicken strips and they were juicy large and tender. Grapefruit basil vodka cocktail was soooo yummy! We're going back tomorrow to try some other menu items. Yum!

  • Matthew E.

    I wanted to like this place but I felt, compared to other local restaurants, the food was sub-par. The ambience was typical tommy Bahama, if you know what I mean. Most local restaurants are sourcing their food locally and using fresh ingredients. Tommy Bahama tasted like a TGIFridays meal with a higher price. Too much salt, not even Hawaiian sea salt, and not enough love from the chef. That's not to say it was terrible but it wasn't good. I'd recommend any other resutraunt in the area over this one for the price.

  • Hannah P.

    Went here for a last lunch on the island. I'm glad I did. I had a great meal and our server was very accommodating. I asked for a modification with my salad, it came out with kale when I has asked for arugala. However, my server was super apologetic and fixed it right away. The artichoke we ordered for an appetizer was not great, definitely not worth 14 dollars. But that's my only complaint. I recommend the lemon drop if you are looking for a martini. It was amazing and so pretty!

  • Josh S.

    A bit of a surprise but probably one of my favorite meals in Maui. Again, optimal location to our hotel (next door) and our large group had free run of the menu which was nice. The wife ordered the coconut shrimp to start and shared them with me. Always tasty. I had the Poke tower and the cowboy ribeye. Both items were pretty delicious. The drinks were also great as I downed a couple rum babalu's and a bronx bomber. For dessert I had the creme brulee in a pineapple which was also great. Fairly flawless night and delicious food. Would highly recommend even for a "chain."

  • Shawn G.

    First time at a clothing branded restaurant was a decent experience. The decent food was elevated by the great service. I didn't have high hopes when my wife suggested we eat here, but we ended up satisfied with our choice. The place was busy but not crammed, so we decided to sit on the deck where they had live music playing. We started with their coconut shrimp in a sweet sauce with a tangy slaw. The coating was a bit heavy, but as a whole it was a decent appetizer. I had the Kona coffee crusted ribeye, which would have been better labeled as Kona dusted since none was visible to the naked eye. The beef was decent (supposedly island raised) but the wife's tenderloin was melt in your mouth good. My steak was accompanied by a bed of dressed spinach greens and their take on a buttery, warm potato salad. As a whole the dish was great, but as the star of the show the steak fell a bit short. Dessert was a small order of their chocolate layer cake. Rich and moist with a dollop of chocolate whipped cream. Again, the service from our fantastic host elevated the entire experience. Attentive and just the perfect amount of conversation. Not my first choice for Wailea, but a decent experience that won't dissapoint.

    I'll admit that I was not exactly thrilled at the prospect of eating at a multi-location restaurant. HOWEVER, I was gob-smacked at the high quality of the food! We had the grilled artichoke which had a wonderful smoky, garlicky flavor accompanied by a lemon aioli. Next, the fish tacos arrived, succulent bites of marinated fresh fish served with a wasabi -not too hot- sauce embedded in fried wonton shells...yum! The pulled pork quesadilla was chewy goodness dipped in a sweet Asian sauce. Their "World Famous Coconut Shrimp" earned the acclaim! Yes, they are that good!! The main event was the bacon jam crostinis...YOU NEED TO ORDER THESE!!! The entire array of food came well-executed and expertly seasoned. The important part of this evening was our server, Ryan!! He was attentive, caring, and informed about every menu item. He truly took care of us. He made our dining experience memorable in the most positive way!! The manager, Chad, was also gracious and interested in knowing how our evening was progressing. It is more than clear the people who work here are happy. It shows from the greeting by the hostess to the servers' attentiveness to the food that comes out of the kitchen. Every step shows they want you to have a good time. We will be back.

Really good! I also had a coconut martini which was awesome. My boyfriends meal was good too but he just got the jerk chicken... A little boring for my taste! Overall great experience!

    I think this was the best meal we had on Maui. We arrived at lunch and the restaurant was empty. Although the prices are a little high, we split their chicken Caesar salad and it was delicious. And, the freshly baked rolls were an added bonus! Stop in!

    First night in Maui and very tired and hungry. The friendly hostess explained that gluten-free was no problem. We were seated on the balcony near a musician playing soft guitar music and singing quiet, relaxing melodies. Great music and atmosphere. Our server Lucas did a fantastic job. Mai tais were $12 each and were in about a 10 oz glass. I had jerk chicken and my wife had Mahi Mahi. The food was perfect. The bill came to $120 with three drinks. I'm learning that food is expensive in Maui . Definitely recommend

My husband & I had the specials; filet mignon meatball pasta dish & I had the Ono which was served seared. Both were very good w/unbelievable flavors that complimented the main ingredient. Pasta was done al dente (perfectly according to my husband.) I would have liked my fish cooked a little more but it was still fabulous. Drinks were made well & staff was excellent. Manager took time to make sure all was well.

    Coming from Australia, we really didn't know what to expect from a restaurant like Tommy's. We were presently surprised. We were seated outside on a beautiful Maui evening. The live music was great, old tunes, perfect for dinner. Our server Jason, was from New York, very helpful and entertaining. The food is fresh, and not overly rich. Jason told us to get the coconut shrimp... And wow they are awesome! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Maui.

    After posting my original review, I was contacted by the Regional Manager who was concerned about our initial visit. He assured us that what happened was not their usual service, must be a mistake on someone's part and to give them another chance. Our second visit was TOP NOTCH all the way. Managers Megan and Chad along with our waiter Jake, took great care of us. We had a wonderful dinner...with one of the best steaks I have ever had, with my husband and daughter had equally delicious snapper entrees! Desserts were heavenly. One of the BEST dinners we had during our vacation! We will definitely come back the next time we come to Maui....am guessing next year! :) Management REALLY cares about the service and food at Tommy Bahamas! Make this a MUST stop when in Maui!

Blackened Fish Tacos & Burgers were too die for. We sat at the bar & Emma & Kylene were our bartenders they were super friendly, accommodating and were working above and beyond to make sure all the guests were taken care of. We noticed that they worked well as a team & were making every aspect run smoothly. Major props to them & Tommy Bahamas! Thanks for the great second experience. We will be back.

    It began by sitting in a chair that broke and I fell to the floor, and I am not obese, I weigh 110 lbs, then we had to ask for the bread, then bread plates, then water refills, our appetizers came at various times and the appetizer plates were never bussed, the entrees came at various intervals, my son's steak was raw and my niece never got her entree and still the appetizer plates were never bussed, in the end the entrees were never bussed although they brought dessert and the bill was over $400. Not worth it at all. Very disappointed.

    I wouldn't normally think that eating at a restaurant located in a shopping center would be particularly special, but kudos to the setting and food at Tommy Bahama's! With regard to setting, the restaurant is attached to the shop, and personally I find the overpowering smell of candles wafting in from the shop to be less than ideal. The solution? Ask to be seated on the lanai when you make your reservation. It's much quieter out there (away from the bar), there was a guitar player/singer in the evening, and no smell of candles! The lanai was calm and pleasant. I have eaten at all of the major resort restaurants in Wailea and I would say the seafood at Tommy Bahama's was just as good. The portions were a little larger, but the flavors and preparation were perfect. My husband and I shared the ahi tacos for an appetizer. Yum! I had the macadamia nut crusted opakapaka for my entree, and my husband had a mahi mahi special. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious. We also split the smaller size key lime pie for dessert. That was a bit of a let down: not too much key lime flavor and lots of whipped cream. It tasted like a rich custard. But, the seafood was excellent and the service was friendly. I would definitely return. One small note, my husband has some health-related dietary restrictions. Normally we've had no problem if we ask for item A on the menu prepped in item B's fashion. That was a no-go at Tommy Bahama's. The opakapaka was all pre-prepped (i.e., crusted with the macadamia nuts), so he couldn't get that fish, but with the mahi mahi prep. Not a huge deal, but a small difference compared to other restaurants we've been to on the island that could make a difference to you if you have allergies and need to navigate menus carefully. I'd say this was a 4.5 star experience. The restaurant lacks a view, and there's a lot of noise and sickly-sweet candle smell if you get seated inside, but the food was quite good and the lanai very pleasant.

    Interesting concept to be eating in a mall and inside of what feels like a store. Food was on point! My husband and I shared a bunch of appetizers and it was more than enough. Menu items you must order: Ahi Poke Lollipop chicken Beet and arugula salad Martinis were tasty and mixed to perfection! We are still talking about this place long after our vacation.

    I love your baby back ribs. They are very tasty and tender. But you put way to much sauce on it. You also have wifi with some restaurants don't have. Your food is very tasty and very fresh. The manager is very accommodating. The last time I went to Tommy Bahamas I ordered the steak medallions cooked medium plus. I really enjoyed it but it was overlooked. I told the manager about it and he said he would remake it and since they didn't get it right the first time, he gave it too me for free! Now that is accommodation. They cooked the second one perfectly.

    Excellent service by Patrick. Nice enough setting, live guitarist. Decent (but not great) food. Going solo tonight, I got two glasses of nice wine, a decent ahi appetizer (with the exception of the avocado mix under the fish - which was weirdly old looking and tasting), and a good shrimp dish (minus the risotto which half of the dish and tasted pretty ... blah .... but I ate it all though as I was starving and just needed food in my belly), cost about $100.

    My husband and I dined here while we were staying at the Marriott Wailea for our honeymoon. We had a number of fancy, expensive meals on our trip & were looking for something a little more relaxed. We had a great experience at Tommy Bahamas! They sat us right away on the outdoor balcony, where perfectly soft live music was playing. We ordered the Ahi Tuna tacos which were amazing. I had the grapefruit & basil martini and he had a Mai Tai, both delicious. Don't skip out on the bread they offer! Crab bisque...to DIE for!!! Must get!! During our meals, Chad the manager stopped by. We mentioned that we were honeymooning and he immediately told us a few things would be coming our way. He delivered champagne & strawberries to our table and said "All honeymooners should toast at dinner", he also gave us a dessert on the house. We were very impressed, as this is a chain restaurant, and it unexpectedly turned into one of our favorite meals in Maui!

    After my bad experience at Ko (see my review) we went straight here because I was still hungry, The service was amazing from the host to the waitress Kathy. The food was terrific. Got the scallop sliders, fish tacos and lobster bisque. The atmosphere was very happy and bright compared to the gloomy Ko. This is how a business should be managed. I think just as Ko reflects their bad management, Tommy Bahamas shows good management.

    Food: So-so. Overpriced but without soul. Tastes like Mall food. Location: Convenient to walk from several Wailea hotels. Service: Aloha speed Ambience: Outdoor dining is nice. But again, don't expect great food.

    Not being a fan of the clothing line, we didn't think much of the restaurant. Finally decided to try it because of hearing about the dessert and proximity to hotel. Extremely pleasantly surprised! Had the macadamia crusted snapper and ribs. Both were spectacular. We also had scallop slider for appetizer which was very good. Ate so much, ended up not having room for dessert. What was extremely delightful was our server Nirvana from Kauai. Sweet as can be...and gave us a wonderful experience. Our new fav pricier restaurant.

    We are staying in Wailea for a wedding last night at the Four Seasons so we've seen some beautiful properties and eaten great food this week but Tommy Bahama's food and service were as good or better than any we encountered. I'd never been to any of their restaurants before but I manage some spots in SD and Orange County and see the Laguna Beach location every time I pull into town to check on our spot around the corner on Ocean Ave. We tried to book a reservation through yelp at a couple spots but it was Saturday night and every place seemed booked including T.B. so I called just to see what the chance of walk-in would be. The host was friendly and after a quick hold she said she could take us and took my name. We arrived and they were quick to seat us at a table on the patio right near a great solo guitarist who was not overwhelming but kept good energy playing John Mayer and Jack Johnson type music throughout dinner. We ordered a couple crab cakes as an app and Pellegrino from our server Delisa (awesome, friendly...) who told us about the specials and her favorite items from the menu we also picked chicken fingers for my 4 yr old who can be challenging to say the least. Crab cakes were very good though a bit small for the price. Milo loved the chicken strips which seemed to have maybe a tempura batter which made them super light and crispy. For our entrees my wife had the Shrimp & Scallops with almond rice which were cooked perfectly and as delicious as any I've had (I say I've had because I always finish her food) anywhere. I had the Ribeye steak which came with warm potato salad and what I'd describe as an arugula salad that had a lemon vinaigrette. The steak was perfectly cooked to med rare with a Kona coffee crust or something which just kicked it up a notch. I would return to this spot again tomorrow night if it wasn't her turn to pick.

    First of all, it is NOT a $$ restaurant, this should really get updated to $$$. That being said, food was good, and our waiter was attentive and helpful making recommendations. I enjoyed the special, Opakapaka, served over risotto. The fish was quite tasty and cooked perfectly, but the risotto was a little undercooked (it's not supposed to be crunchy, right?!) this dish alone was $40, hence the $$$ recommendation. My three kids had kids meals, which they enjoyed but it would be nice to have a choice of sides rather than a mountain of fries only. The ahi poke tacos were great, the grilled artichoke was also very good but quite oily and messy to eat (I had to constantly wipe my fingers!). I was very excited about the butterscotch pudding dessert, served in a glass lined in chocolate ganache, but it really was kind of bland and without flavor. Ambience was very nice, outdoor balcony with live music playing. However they really must do something about the lighting outside! Unless you have a light directly over your table (and many don't), it's really tough to read the menus. Overall, reasonably good food, good service and nice ambience. Just be prepared to pay $35-$60 per person.

    After shopping for a while the wife and I were hungry and decided to give this place a try. Was hoping it was not like Elephant Bar or the like. I had the ahi flatbread and she had the chicken sandwich. Both were excellent and I would definitely come back. I rate this place a little higher than Monkey Pod.

  • Amy K.

    Not good for take-out after a long day of traveling and food was just okay, but like most places it probably would have been better eating in the restaurant rather than take out. They did have friendly bartenders for happy hour and had two drinks for a great price and we couldn't have been happier with that! It was located at the Shops at Wailea and the menu is more expensive than expected since this is in a touristy part of Wailea, but it served it's purpose and we were able to get a meal that was filling. I'm not so certain I would return, but they had some good drinks!

  • Michelle L.

    Great location near nicer hotels and shopping. They have a nice Hawaiian vibe with good live music. I really appreciated the great wine list which can be hard to find in Hawaii! I usually love artichokes but, ours was WAY undercooked and over spiced, bummer! Our fish was very good. The bartender was super nice (I forgot his name but, I heard him say he worked there 7+ years. That's a good sign.) We will be back.

  • Michael H.

    Food and service is great. Portion sizes, at least for their appetizers, are small based on price. Maybe their happy hour prices are better but they have, and this is a direct quote from our waiter, "the earliest happy hour on the island." (2-5). We arrived at 6:15. I thought Tommy Bahamas was expensive for family dining. My daughter and I had 2 appetizers each. I had one beer and she had a soda, we walked out paying $80 with tip. That seems high to me considering the night before we ate at the Elephant Bar in Emeryville near Oakland, had multiple appetizers, I had a couple of cocktails and dessert and paid about $40. My guess, for a family of four, you'll spend close to $200 if you order off the main menu. But if you're staying in Wailea, you probably have money to throw around and feel like you're getting a great deal. If you put a dollar amount on customer service and food flavor, then yeah I guess it's worth it. Otherwise, I would go someplace less spendy. But I'm guessing that's hard to find around Wailea.

  • Karen G.

    Over the last 5 or so years I've eaten here for lunch and they have great salads. I've also had the happy hour drinks and appetizers and it has been consistently good and reliable. This week my friend and I had dinner and we both loved our entrees and the service was very welcoming and professional. I will now put them on the list for a good dinner with local ingredients.

  • William B.

    Interestingly enough, the food we enjoyed the most weren't their featured items. They rave about the coconut shrimp appetizers...but they tasted frozen and not especially good. But the blackened Mahi Reuben sandwich was exceptional!! Similarly the Cuban sandwich was excellent as well. My wife had to ask for some extra mustard for a little extra flavor, but still really good. Our kids enjoyed the barbecued ribs and Caesars salad. The biggest concern was the price tag for essentially nice tasting Bar Food. But this is Maui, so just expect it and just try and overlook that.

  • Cassie A.

    We went into Tommy Bahama to grab a quick drink and appetizer before moving to another restaurant for dinner and were pleasantly surprised at just how good everything was. We ordered the pork quesadillas, and HIGHLY recommend them. They were fantastic!! After our appetizer, our waiter brought out the dessert try. Holy. Cow. At that point in the night, we knew we would have to come back for their dessert. The next night we went back for another round of the appetizer and dessert. The pineapple creme bruele was out of this world. It is baked into a hollowed out pineapple, with pineapple chucks in the bottom. If I could have ordered another without feeling bad about it I would have. It was amazing!!

  • Jalissa N.

    Awesome dinner here! I had the Parmesan crusted chicken and it was great! We had a group of 10 of us and they were very accommodating for all of our needs. It took a while to get our food but we understand that because we had a large group. The drinks were great, the food was awesome, and some people got dessert which they said was to do die for. If you have room for dessert-- try to key lime pie! If you're looking for a great meal & great service, I would suggest coming here!

  • Kristi M.

    Can't go wrong with the TB happy hour. I went on two separate nights and was equally impressed. We tried the ahi poke with flatbread, the macadamia but encrusted goat cheese, and the sliders. All delicious! Also loved the strawberry basil martini as well as the pineapple martini. Staff is friendly and made my 8 year old a fun fancy smoothie complete with an orchid. Apps aren't really of the sharing size unless you get several.

    Mixed experiences, great atmosphere and dessert but that's about it. Food is sometimes great, sometimes bad. The environment is dressy and they have music on the patio. I still love going here with friends for a nice evening. It is a bit pricey so going here for lunch would be better. I would definitely make dinner reservations ahead of time.

    I could not be happier with Tommy Bahama's! I just returned home from a vacation in Maui for my sisters wedding. We were fortunate enough to have her wedding reception at Tommy Bahama's (4/15/14). We were seated on the balcony for an exclusive party of close to 30. We had dedicated wait staff to help us with anything we needed, and they were phenomenal (Michael & Andy I believe). Our party could not stop raving about the food! The scallop sliders (appetizers) are my absolute favorite. Carole from TB helped us arrange everything before we arrived in Maui and was so responsive and helpful. Its difficult to plan a wedding from a few thousand miles away, having never been to the location - but she made the whole process stress free. Chad, the manager, frequently stopped by to check on us. The whole staff, ambiance, and of course the Chefs!, helped give my sister such a wonderful wedding to remember. I went to many other restaurants in the area during that trip, and i felt like I was inconveniencing the staff by being there. But Tommy Bahamas truly cared about making the night very special, and all other aspects of their service and food matched that caliber as well.

  • Darrell K.

    My rating is for the store and not the restaurant. really like Tommy Bahama brand. Really. I really don't like their prices. Then you come into Hawaii and realize that you can get high quality aloha shirts much cheaper than Tommy Bahamas. Having said that, I like walking in, checking it out, and then leaving without a purchase. C'mon TB, give the regular consumer a more affordable product.

    We sat at the bar on this visit and a really nice bar tender served us. She wore glasses and I think her name was Lisa. She poured us the best Mai tai ever! Coconut shrimp was amazing and the ahi tacos were tasty! Good energy at the bar and a nice option out of the hotel.

  • John Z.

    Lovely restaurant. The artichoke appetizer was perfectly done. A little messy if you eat it right but well worth it. The ahi with pita chips appetizer was also very good which they can make gluten free. My wife and I spilt the bungalow salad and that was very good. We split the big ribeye which was tasty. We waited quite a while for the GF desert to show up but that was the only negative I could offer. $158 for the two of us was a bit more than one should expect to pay.

    One of the best restaurants in Maui I've ever been to. Who would guess a retail store could put out such amazing food? Top notch drinks, and an extremely enjoyable ambiance. I tell everyone who is visiting to stop in for a meal. Flawless service: Greg was our waiter and he was fantastic. I love when servers enjoy what they our selling. He really made our lunch special!! Thanks Greg-you are great at what you do (without being super cheesy or pretentious) In short: Real food and Real Fun

    This place was awesome! The staff was so fun and friendly, and I'm pretty sure that my ahi salad was the best I've ever had...ever! Truly delicious. I will crave that for a long time! The manager was very sweet, and said that they would get me a dessert for my birthday. Our waiter brought out my DELICIOUS key lime pie with a candle that he struggled to light in the wind. Overall, the whole experience was great and very memorable. Many thanks to these guys for making my birthday special!

    Tonight we gave Tommy Bahama another chance and I'm so glad we did! The service and food were exceptional tonight! We made a 7pm reservation and when we arrived at 6:50pm, we only had to wait a minute before being seated. We started with the ahi taco appetizer and it was a little on the spicy side. The ahi was perfect and the taco shells were made of really crispy won tons, yum! My husband had a mango habanero margarita and he loved it, he is all about the spicy stuff! We each had a Caesar salad and they were very tasty. For entrees, we had the macadamia crusted snapper (my favorite) and the ribs. Both were excellent and so were the garlic mashed potatoes, so good! Our server, Jake was very attentive and friendly and I highly recommend him. Thank you to Jake, Sydney, and Patrick. We will definitely be back!!

    I've always thought of Tommy Bahahmas, and rightfully so, as a men's clothing store but a few years back when I heard they had restaurants I thought that was intriguing and wanted to find out what it was all about. That opportunity came on a trip to Maui. The servers and staff are very noticeably trained to be peppy, fully of questions about where you are visiting from and what you are doing while in Maui. I have mixed feelings about it only because places like that can run the risk of being a little overbearing- but that is the San Francisco in me talking where you get more of a east coast superficiality and not all up in your business friendliness of the south. Anyway I digress. The food was really good! Apps: the ahi Napoleon was fantastic. The pulled pork quesadilla was tasty but severely lacking in pork- probably would steer clear of that next time. Entrees: seared ahi was one of the better ahi dishes I've had. It was perfectly cooked and the succotash it came with was a perfect pair. The ribs were delicious and fell off the bone and the coconut shrimp was tasty and the perfect Hawaiian meal. The atmosphere is also inviting and kinda looks like a tommy Bahama store with the plantation/island style decor. This place however has an identity crisis of it is a cougar bar or a family restaurant. The tables were packed with young families and tourists alike yet the very cool wrap around bar was packed with people looking to have a fun time drinking and watching the game. Not a bad thing but just funny thing to notice.

    We dined at Tommy Bahamas on our first day in Maui. While staying at the Fairmont Kea Lani, we opted to take the shuttle to the Shops at Wailea where Tommys is located. Our server was Jay and he was fantastic. He informed us of all the specials and made excellent meal suggestions. We were a party of four and thee of us ordered different meals. The crab-stuffed shrimp was amazing, as was the ribeye and babyback ribs. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Keep in mind it is a little pricey!

  • Ronnard G.

    Full on four stars! Yes it's a chain restaurant but they are doing some things right here! The drinks were flavorful and strong but not overpowering. We had the Mango Margarita, Sangria, and Habanero Margarita and enjoyed each! The Scallop Slider was the highlight of our visit! If you don't order anything else order this! And don't share it. It comes with two sliders...eating one will only make you want to order another. If you like scallops order these! The Jam Goat Cheese Bruschetta was really tasty also. Everything looked really good; we were both in the mood for fried fish. I got the fish and chips which were delicious! My wife got the crunchy fried fish sandwich. She loved it! We would definitely return here on our next trip.

    Tuesday, November 4th. (9:00pm) Went here for the first time! I've been really wanting to try Tommy Bahamas. Food COCONUT CRUSTED CRAB CAKES: you have a choice of one piece($12) or two($18) and it comes with this side of coleslaw I believe. Crab was really good i really enjoyed it. Sweet chili sauce tasted like it was from the bottle, but I love sweet chili sauce and it was great with the cakes. CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP($37): the shrimp was such good size, and it came with that delicious crab! Almond rice was very good; first time I tried it and I loved it! The spinach not so much. There was just way too much garlic. Now that I think of it I should have ate little bits with the shrimp, hmmm. But there's no way I could have eaten that spinach by itself. KONA COFFEE CRUSTED RIBEYE($41): my boyfriend is a huge steak guy. And he actually said, "This steak is the best steak I've ever had!" It actually was some really good steak. Tasted like BBQ, but upscale(?). Lol. I would have wanted some steak sauce, but it was really good without. Might I add that it was cooked to PERFECTION!! He asked for medium and actually got MEDIUM!! Yay!! However the side of potatoes were undercooked, but the steak made up for it! :) Service HOSTESS: she was really friendly and nice. I like how she told us there's live music and asked if we wanted to be near or further away. We asked for further away that way we can talk and we still got one outside. Nice. WAITRESS: she was nice too; didn't catch her name. The only reason this isn't a five star was the ending. I had to wait 10 minutes for a refill on my coke( which I think the machine needs to be cleaned or something because it tasted a little old and dirty.) Anyways then when we wanted our check and a Togo box she was no where to be found. I stood outside that doorway where all the employees seem to be going in assuming she would come out, but she didn't. There was a another employee folding silverware and she was nice enough to ask me if I needed something and got our waitress. I guess I had high expectations and expected fantastic service being we were at Tommy Bahamas and just wanted to be taken care of and we kind of felt like we weren't. My boyfriend and I ALWAYS tip what they deserve which is reason for the tip we left. Regardless of that little hiccup we're coming back! Because I really want to try more of the food, hopefully visit number two will be perfect.

    Service and food were excellent! My blackened fish tacos came out cold but Megan the manager comped them and got me a fresh new plate! They were very yummy the second round.

    Great food, and great ambiance . The ahi fish tacos are a must try. Super fresh and tasty. I loved the macadamia crusted snapper, and my friend had the swordfish. Both were cooked to perfection. The waitresses, waiters, bartenders, and hostess were all SuPER peppy,and friendly. I think they were trained to be that way. Was kind of surreal, and funny at the same time. Overall we had a good dining experience. Looks like they have a happening bar as well for all drinkers. I had no idea Tommy Bahama owned restaurants too! If your a fan of his clothes there is a store next to the restaurant. I did not try the desserts. I heard they are known for their dessert trays . Worth a try if you are in the area.

Y'all old tourists should hit this spot...and spend that mainland salad here. Mahalo.

  • Ben L.

    This is my first five star review. It involves a mistaken New Year's Eve reservation, a few other backup plans, and then, finally, The Girlfriend and I arriving at Tommy Bahama. Host and hostess folks were great, told us there were two seats empty at the bar and that we could get the full dinner menu there. This is notable (if only really applicable once or twice a year), because some of the other places we visited on New Year's Eve were only serving Prix Fixe (none of which sounded particularly practical, and certainly not at the cost.) Being in a festive spirit like we were we ordered fancy non-alcoholic drinks. The Girlfriend ordered the Fauxito and I had the Pain Chiller. Both of them were wonderful, the Fauxito crisp and refreshing, the Pain Chiller almost as rewarding as a milkshake. We decided to order a variety of appetizers in lieu of an entree. Tim the Bartender (who, I see, has already been lauded by others on Yelp) really was an excellent presence. He was attentive on the drinks, helped us decide between menu options, and was an overall delight. We had the goat cheese, the Caesar salad, and the Key Lime cheesecake. There was not a misstep in the whole of our experience. It was so good we went back a few days later. Exceptional dining experience.

    Had dinner at Tommy's tonight. Best artichoke I've ever had. Super delish. Also had the ahi tuna poke and it was amazing as well. The other diners at my table had everything from chicken to fish and all were good. I'd go back for sure. Chad the manager was super hospitable as well.

    Raining like crazy the night we went to Tommy Bahama in Wailea. The pelting sideways rain forced the restaurant to move all of the outdoor tables indoors. So it was a challenging night at best for the restaurant. Our server was Bethany- She gave great advice and was very quick with any requests!!! She pointed out a very nice red wine for a really low price.... Always appreciated. They delivered a wonderful quality steak, cooked perfectly. The crab soup was very good and served very hot. Also the goat cheese and beet salad was excellent. Desert was hard to choose from they were all looking good. We ended up trying the coconut cake and some pudding with chocolate. So leave some room for sweets! We spoke with the manager Chad who was actually apologetic, as it was a little crowded with the outside diners moved inside. We did not find it to be an issue, but his stopping by our table was incredibly considerate. He gave us a card for the Las Vegas Tommy's ... What a class act.

    I've eaten here at least 20 times so I'm very familiar with this place. At first let me say that it is not the kind of place that I would typically like - a chain restaurant that is very touristy and to me screams tourist trap. However as much a touristy chain restaurant this may be, we really like the food and (obviously) we keep coming back. It is a bit pricey, but we tend to go for lunch or happy hour, after a morning at the beach, and those prices are a bit more reasonable. The service is usually very good and I feel they make some of the best cocktails on the island (I'm not much a drinker so you might want to take that with a grain of salt, but I know others really like their drinks as well). I've tried too many of the dishes to review them all here, but I will say they are all pretty consistently good and just get what suits your taste.

    We wanted to stay away from chain restaurants but we kinda ran out of local choices after about 10 days on the island so we decided to give this place a try. We were pleasantly surprised. First, no constant Hawaiian music in the background. Te decor was nice and clean and the balcony seating area was cozy - although the lights could have been turned up a bit - we had a hard time reading our menus. The service was excellent.. we were seated within 1 minute and had water on the table in 3 minutes. Our server was very attentive and checked on us about every 10 minutes with a smile. The menu was well balanced and had something fro every taste. The food was surprisingly fresh and excellent. I noticed the manager went around every once in a while and asked every table if they were happy with the service. Big points there.. Other restaurants should take note. I highly recommend this place.

    This restaurant was wonderful! The service was great and we were immidiately seated after entering. Everything was homemade. The mac-n-cheese wasn't microwaved and the chicken fingers weren't thawed. The food was a little pricey, but it was worth every penny. My mother ordered a margarita and it wasn't to her liking, but the waiter willingly brought her a new one for no extra charge. If you are vacationing in Maui, this is the place to be.

    One of our four meals was almost inedible. Shrimp with risotto. The risotto tasted like beer, and the shrimp tasted like mud. The other meals Seared Ahi Tuna, Tortilla Soup, and Crab Cakes were delightful.

    It's hard to not love Tommy's. The Energy is amazing and the Staff is great. Combine that with a tremendous menu and a happening bar, it is worth the trip. Will be back time and time again.

    I had been to TB in Florida and was looking forward to dining at the Maui location. Only thing missing was an ocean view! They had a great musician playing acoustic guitar versions of 90's alternative classics which I loved. Decent kids menu as well as coloring supplies to keep the toddler happy. She enjoyed her chicken quesadilla. I thought the crab stuffed shrimp, chocolate and piña colada cakes were delicious. Had an issue with one of the dishes in our party but the manager resolved it quickly and to our satisfaction. Mojito was tasty as well as the wine. Service was attentive. Wish they had one on Oahu!

    Yummy tropical drinks and amazing food! Had the coconut shrimp, crab cakes, crab bisque, and stuffed shrimp (which was pretty much mini crab cakes on shrimp). Was so tasty! Great service, and had some nice live music too. Definitely go!

    Whoa! Damn good! lol! I think I can keep this review simple. Make a reservation and be prepared for your taste buds to be pleased. Customer service was fantastic. Drinks were amazing and the food was...smh...pleasantly flavorful and amazing. I don't give 5 stars to restaurants easily...but I seriously don't have anything negative to say. The ambiance was a little loud...but the mood was still sexy and classy...but yet still casual. If you are in Maui, I would def come here at least once.

    I wasn't sure about this place since it is part of a clothing store, but this is a fantastic happy hour spot for tropical drinks! It's from 2:00-5:00 PM. The drinks are well made and are good pours. There were many cocktails that were around $6-$8. The bar tender was very friendly, and he knew what he was doing. The mint in the mojito I had was very well muddled. It sounds simple enough, but so many places don't do it correctly. It was just slightly sweet and nice and tart which is exactly how I like it. The Grapefruit Basil martini was smooth with grey goose vodka, a little tartness from the grapefruit juice, and the basil gave some earthiness to it. My husband had the Coconut Cloud, which was rich and like a desert drink. The Pineapple Plantation was refreshing and fruity as well. The biggest surprise was that the poke I had here was actually the best we ended up having on our trip. It was fresh and flavorful, and perfectly combined with salty capers and ripe avocado. So good! The rest of the food was nothing special though. The plantain chips were very disappointing. I was hoping for a thicker chip, and not like something I could buy from a store in a bag. I didn't really care for the chicken lollypops. From the name, I wouldn't have ordered them, but people around me had them and were going on about them. I don't get it because it was just a chicken leg that had a little pepper on the outside. They were very bland. I would return for happy hour most definitely. The tropical drinks are well made and at a fair price. I don't know if I'd come here for dinner though because the food was a miss, with the exception of the poke.

    Friendly greeting immediately upon arrival & to table. I asked my server, Bethany, about size of macadamia nut crusted goat cheese explaining that I really wanted it, but couldn't eat that appetizer plus an entree. (All the salads are listed as entree salads...) She was so helpful and said she could do a bungalow size salad and paired the mango salad with the macadamia nut crusted goat cheese. Both were absolutely delicious and I will be back!!!

  • Carla C.

    Fantastic service. We had a large group (wedding party) Five star coconut macadamia shrimp, goat cheese appetizers, fruit trays, feta cheese with mixed greens and mango dressing salad, chicken lollipops! Presentation was beautiful! The servers never let our drinks go empty. Well done! Bravo

  • Jenna L.

    I was honestly surprised how good this restaurant was and I had major doubts before going given the Tommy Bahama name. This was our first night in Hawaii and it turned out to be one of our favorite meals. The server found out it was our honeymoon and the manager made a point to come by and congratulate us and bring us two glasses of champagne. Honestly, no one else during our trip made a big deal that it was our Honeymoon besides the manager here and it made us feel very special! The food was excellent - I had a steak and my husband had the chicken. We started out with a pork quesadilla that was divine! Highly recommend going here if you're staying in Wailea.

    Had dinner with the family here. Our waiter was very cool and explained the menu and gave his recommendations on menu items. For drinks I had the Pineapple Paradisio which was delicious! Tasted great but the alcohol will creep up so don't drink too many. The dinner was great and they serve big portions. Whether you get the chicken, pork or fish, you will not be disappointed.

    Longhis should really take a good look at the awesome service from your upstairs neighbor Tommy Bahamas. From the moment we walked in, we were pleasantly greeted by Jade. This was followed by the equally pleasant and attentive service from Patrick. Sad to say but Longhis was once a gastronomic institution to reckon with. Rock on Tommy Bahamas!

  • Shangyi C.

    Everything was so perfect about this place! You have to taste the butter coming along with the bread. We ordered pork lib. To tell you the truth, I have never tried any pork better than that. The meat was cooked just fine. We had two people and spent $100 without tip.

  • Ryan C.

    The foods I had in here were absolutely amazing. I've eaten countless steaks and the ribeye they have in here is one of the best ones I've ever had. The service is fantastic and I am completely satisfied with both the food and the service they provide. The price does add up quick but it's definitely affordable.

    Garrett was our waiter, excellent job. Never wanting for anything. Food is a little on the pricy side but very tasty. Highly recommend the fish tacos or the jerk chicken tacos. Nice view from the patio too.

  • Porter P.

    I had serious doubt's for this restaurant prior to our visit last night. After having dinner here this place well deserves its 5/5! This was our best meal in Hawaii!! We had the coconut shrimp for our appetizer- best I ever had, perfectly cooked. For our entrees were the ahi tuna with succotash and wasabi edamame puree and the Thai scallops and shrimp. The scallops and tuna were just melt in your mouth perfection. We also enjoyed fresh made mojitos. Coconut shrimp 5/5 Bread service 2.5/5 Mojitos 4/5 Ahi tuna entree 5/5 Thai scallops and shrimp 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Price $150 total. It was worth it!

  • Brook P.

    We actually had great crispy fish sandwiches (perfectly cooked beer batter) that had home made tarter sauce on the side. Why not more stars? The service was pretty bad...the waitress wasn't that busy but we hardly saw her...and then she would forget if asked a question/request. Also, the prices are on the high side (think Grand wailea prices) and for sandwich/burger fare at a retail store it's hard to swallow.

    (3)

  • Ben C.

    We hit this place on every trip too. Happy hour started at 2, so that made a nice late lunch for us. Decent drink choices. The sliders were perfect. We also had the quesidias. The coconut shrimp as, always good too. Plus you can go shopping next door afterwards.

  • S L.

    I was on the fence on whether or not to stop here. So glad I did. . My wife and I had a awesome dinner on the patio and were surprised by the unique dishes, wine choice, and friendly professional service. Our waitress was from the Seattle area and she was outstanding and made great recommendations. The fish was very fresh and the dish with curry was delicious. I ordered a salad and and asked to customized it with chicken, They serve a cool little bead basket with interesting flavored butter. Nice location and it's a close walk to the hotels next door.

  • Annie O.

    Happy hour? No problem. Food was delicious. Service was mediocre at best. Maybe it's just me. Anyway, We had 4 of 6 happy hour starters and each was amazing. We started with 2 expecting to be disappointed but ended up with much more. Can't wait to have dinner here!

    FABULOUS! Happy Hour is the best time to go. I loved my Kettle One Martini and the pork quesadillas, we also had a "coconut cloud" martini and cheese with crackers. The restaurant is located in a beautiful setting which opens up into the clothing store.

  • Emmy R.

    I know what you're thinking. A Tommy Bahama restaurant? And it's actually good? Yes and yes. Craving some post-beach snacks, we decided to try out their happy hour and the crab bisque that a friend raved about. We didn't try any of the entrees, so this review doesn't apply to those, but the appetizers were great! So good that we came back after another beach day later that week. I do think it makes for a weird dining experience to have the Tommy Bahama clothing store connected and right in front of you while you eat. Okay for a quick bite or drink, awkward for a nice dinner out. Ahi Tuna Tacos! This was my favorite. Loved the crunch from the fried wonton wrap! I also liked that they used avocado instead of the usual slaw or mango salsa that typically comes with fish tacos. It paired nicely with the ahi. The Crab Bisque lived up to its hype. I was expecting more of a red, tomato-based bisque and was surprised with this creamier, smoother texture--in a good way. We also tried the Ahi Poke and the Short Rib Sliders. Both really solid choices. If you sit at the bar and don't get any complimentary bread--ASK FOR IT. It comes with a really tasty cinnamon and nutmeg(?) butter.

    As a newly diagnosed Celiac and traveling for the first time I Introduced myself to the manager Chad Rutan and asked him for advice on what to order. He was very understanding, compassionate and sent for the chef to advise me on what to order. She came out and personally recommended an amazing delicious snapper dinner that was over the top good! All the staff is friendly, and seem to enjoy their customers. Cannot say enough about staff and food

    We go here often. A great Happy Hour menu with delicious pupus...at the bar. However, last night we decided to grab a table and actually have dinner. Wrong move. Nothing was spectacular. Kona Coffee crusted rib-eye was ok. Side potatoes undercooked and boring. We also has the Mac Nut Crusted Snapper...BORING and very blah. Dry with very little sauce. Had to ask for loads of lemons. Realized quickly we should've went next door to Ruth's Chris or downstairs to Longhis. Oh we will go back...back to the bar, which by the way, has about 1 good bartender. The others...attitude and snobbish.

    Tommy Bahama runs an amazingly consistent experience across all of the locations I have visited. Off the mainland Maui runs a bit of a different menu but I was glad to see that one of my favorites, the amazing Crab Bisque, is still there. For the main course I had a special fish dish off of a local farm menu and was very happy with the outcome. Service was extremely good and the entertainment was good too -- though Naples is still the winner on the entertainment side. Where that locations sources its talent from is a wonder!

  • Traycee L.

    Must must must have the coconut shrimp and butterscotch pudding!! This is a great restaurant and I highly recommend you make this a dinner or happy hour stop on your Maui vacation. Even locals like it (as per my friend the local). The waiter was very friendly and not in a annoying sort of way.

    (4)

  • Vic L.

    Good ingredients, great ideas, poorly executed. We had the pulled pork which would have been an easy 10/10 however there was far too much sweet sauce on it. It would have been much better if the sauce had been on the side. The scallops in the scallop sliders were easily some of the best I have ever had, however they just did not go with the slider, I removed mine from the bun and enjoyed immensely. Finally we had the poke tacos and they were very average. Cute terrace, but wouldn't come back.

  • Casey V.

    A must go when in Maui!!! First let me say I had very low expectations from this restaurant. I thought I would be over priced mediocre just like their clothes, but boy was I wrong! This place was perfect. The staff was incredible , the atmosphere was great, and the food was superb! We went on a Saturday night and they had the amazing live musician name Howard. He did great covers of well known songs with his acoustic guitar. Very relaxing and perfect for the atmosphere. Our waiter David was very nice and made jokes with us along with being very accommodating, when I wasn't sure about an item on the menu he brought me a sample of the sauce! He made us feel like we were at home eating dinner around our table. Very rare to feel that way at a restaurant. Lucky for us the food was way above what I expected. Everything we ate was amazing. From my tortilla soup to our lollipop chicken appetizer & our main courses there was not a dish that anyone hated. My favorite part was the amazing bread & cinnamon butter! That stuff was addicted! Our waiter even let me take some home. My entree was just as delicious. I had the Parmesan chicken and it was perfect, especially loved the sauce. All in all I loved this place! Our family had fun, a great time and lots of laughs. A night that will not be forgotten! Also I was wrong about their clothes too! I never knew they had women's clothes & I found myself wanting everything in the store that was conveniently located right next door. Thank you tommy Bahama for giving me a wonderful night & a new found respect for your company!

  • Shawna D.

    My husband and I went there for an early Saturday dinner. The dining room was full, so we sat at the bar and had great service! I had the poke tacos, and my husband had the rib eye steak. Both were totally satisfying and was plenty of food. Even though the bartender was totally busy, he still gave us great service. We would definitely go back again.

    (4)

  • Joe Y.

    This is a staple every time we come to Maui (or Kona for that matter). The bbq pork ribs are unbelievable (get them with fries for the perfect finger food). We usually belly up to the bar - they have great mixed drinks for the misses and the only place I've found Spaten Double Bock. This is one of our favorites in town.

    (5)

  • Shana K.

    So surprised that Tommy Bahama does such a great job with food AND clothes! The tacos and cocktails are beyond delicious, and the service was excellent. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it IS in Wailea, so it's expected. The atmosphere is great and the waiter told us to come back for happy hour. They have really good specials if you sit at the bar.

    (5)

  • Jordan L.

    Incredible service and yummy bartenders. Oh I mean yummy food. I mean both! Sat at the bar with a friend and had about 6 different appetizers (we came hungry). The food was great and came out pretty fast! Their martinis are sinfully good!

  • Michelle-Joyce N.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. There are plenty of great places to eat at in Maui, and this is a chain available in the mainland, but I was so hungry shopping at the Shops at Wailea that we ended up eating here. Pros: - Everyone was great and accommodating, from hostess, to server, and busboys. I was hungry and tried to get a seat at the bar so I didn't have to wait for a table, but there was no room at the bar and we got a table. The server still charged us happy hour prices. - Crafted cocktails are delicious and strong! I tried the pineapple martini, crazy Cuban, and of course, a Mai Tai. - Filet Mignon was surprisingly very good and juicy, for this place not being a steakhouse - Kobe burger was decent, meat was complemented nicely with mushrooms and grilled onions. Cons: - Not a big fan of their fish tacos.. the tortilla they use had too heavy of a flour taste and overwhelmed the fish and flavor. I would return to another one of their locations. Especially to try one of their desserts!

  • Ken K.

    We had a great experience at Tommy Bahama's. The ambiance and service was great, but we really came here for Chef Maka Kwan's ahi prime rib. We had had the dish before at another local restaurant. It tastes like prime rib with au jus, but is made with ahi instead of beef. True to form, it was exceptional. I highly recommend it. We were really excited that we could enjoy this delicacy during our last trip to Maui. The people in our party who ordered other food (against my recommendation) also said that their dishes were great. We can't wait for our next trip to enjoy another great time at Tommy Bahama!

    (5)

  • Jim P.

    Delicious food and fantastic atmosphere! Our waiter, Andy, was superb! He welcomed us and made us feel right at home. The drinks were outstanding... the coconut cloud and the manhattan are top notch! My wife had the Parmesan chicken and I had the mahi mahi for dinner. We highly recommend it!

    (5)

  • Amy N.

    I am definitely not a fan of this place. I came here for some lunch and when I saw the menu I just wanted to get up and leave but I felt obligated to order something since the waitress already brought waters out. I decided to order the scallop slider which sounded really good. It took almost half an hour for just a single order of the scallop sliders to come out. Come on now, there were only two other parties there at the time. I took a bite into the slider and it had NO flavor whatsoever. It didn't even taste like they added salt and pepper. $16 for 2 tasteless sliders and 2 glasses of iced water. I'd rather drive a little ways and go to McDonald's for some spam, eggs, and rice.

  • Emily N.

    Love this place! Great happy hour with delicious food and drinks. Sliders, poke, fish tacos.... It's all good! Best Bloody Mary I've had on the island (still kind of average compared to others we've had on mainland and on other islands). Great service. Comfy seating. Good music sometimes too. We've been probably 10+ times and it's consistently good!

    (4)

  • Stephanie S.

    We went there the night we checked in to our condo across the street. Things I loved: the drinks, sitting outside, the location and the live music wasn't too loud but additive to the atmosphere. Things that were just good: the food, the price and the service. All we needed was some food and some drinks, so this perfectly hit the spot. I'd come again, but probably only on that first night before we had time to really settle in.

    We had tried Tommy Bahama here in Wailea late last year. We where disappointed with their service and left a not so great review. To their managements credit they monitor the reviews and reached out to us to get more details so they could fix the problems. We went back this evening and was pleasantly surprised. The food and service was outstanding. The fact that they monitor reviews and follow up speaks volumes. We will be back for sure.

  • Travis K.

    I absolutely love Tommy Bahama's! Their drinks, food, and service are spot on. They go the extra mile for me every time I dine there. Just had lunch and dinner here a day apart. My fiance always orders a good ribeye. I tried their BBQ ribs, which was simply delicious! The sanibel chicken was also tasty too. I decided to try their jerk lollipops (spicy chicken pops) and that was a real treat. I don't like spicy food but I just decided to branch out and go for it. It was very good. For dessert, my fiance had the pina colada cake and it was delish. I really love creme brulee and they did not disappoint. Oh, and they also have a special Island Time Happy Hour menu. This is one of my favorite restaurants on Maui and for what they charge, I am all in and will not complain once about it. We were served by Lara and Laura on both days and they were very knowledgeable and good with service. Even though we were locals dining at a tourist location, they were more than helpful the entire time and constantly checked on us. We appreciate it!!! Their slogan, "Relax, Life is One Long Weekend" does not fail. Very relaxing atmosphere and its calming entertainment in the background gets the thumbs up too.

    Last night we ate at Tommy Bahama's. Need I go any further with this review?

    (1)

  • Shalin P.

    Very pricey place, and draws an upscale clientele (example- the family next to us was celebrating the fact that they just bought 3 nightclubs in Las Vegas). Even appetizer salads and desserts were close to $10. Interesting menu filled with local ingredients. I had the pan crusted chicken, which was a solid dish. Keep in mind this is a chain with locations all over the mainland. So while in Hawaii, I'd definitely stick to the local high-end places instead of coming here. Also, there is no ocean view anywhere in the restaurant (it's blocked by a condo complex).

    (3)

  • Rj S.

    We did not have rez but the place was literally half empty. They told us they did not have a table ready. Ok.....we got a drink at the bar and as soon as it arrived our table was magically ready. The service was outstanding. Cant put any fault there. The problem was the food. Some of the worst we have had in maui. All of the seafood was slightly dated (I was thinking of kitchen conf rules - no seafood on Tues. right?) To me, this is unforgiveable in a location like this and ESPECIALLY at these ridiculous prices. There are too many better places to eat in Maui.

    (2)

  • Steve G.

    Food very good. They actually put some spice into their blackened shrimp pasta special. Martini was not very good.

  • Danielle M.

    Food was great and so was the service. We had Joe. Really friendly and attentive! I wanted a drink with not too much sugar and he made really good suggestions! Bartender made them well... We started with the bunglow salad which had the best dressing.. Really light and slightly sweet. My husband had the ref white and blue salad. Also really good. I had the herb park crusted chicken and it was absolutely delicious! Huge portions so have enough for lunch today! Hubbs had the scallops ad he really enjoyed it! We finished with the key lime pie which i read about on here. It was good but not as good as the food. Next time I want to try the Oreo pie with fudge and health bar:) Totally reasonable bill and they comp'd the pie since it was our honeymoon. Def worth trying if you are not looking to go far and not spend 300 bucks at the resorts.. Plus they have Howard playing some awesome low key music!

  • Kanani M.

    To be honest, this four star rating is based solely on a few items. Once I tried them, I want nothing else. The fish tacos, TO DIE FOR. The plantains (served on side of the fish tacos), you need not order desert. The drink menu, very very well played. Do they have vegetarian items? Yes, just ask and you will get a separate menu that provides a variety, so you don't have to worry about people with dietary restrictions. Ambiance, nice for being situated in a mall. Service, on point. That is all. Maybe one day when I go there I will try something other than those items (doubt it) and will be able to provide a more rounded opinion. Until then... Yummm, Fish Tacos!

    I honestly did not know that my favorite clothing line retailer also had a restaurant until I was on Maui and we left very impressed! We had a table of 8 and serve was excellent, location was ideal, atmosphere was fun, food was great and I enjoyed several glasses from their Wine selections. Sorry that I cannot provide many more details about the food itself but my filet mignon was outstanding to go with the Cabinet. I cannot give it 5 stars solely because the pricing was on the very high side and somewhere along the line I was told that it was reasonably priced.

  • Bill H.

    I had no idea what to expect, but was more than pleasantly surprised. A bit expensive, $130 for a family of four for lunch, but that included several adult beverages for the big kids. All to be expected in Hawaii. The Mai Tai was excellent. We were all attracted to the fried fish and chips. My wife and I both had the fish sandwich. It was the biggest fish sandwich I have ever seen. No joke. It was DELICIOUS! They were kind enough to go "off menu" for the kids. They also wanted fish, so they split an adult meal into two for them. They each got two good sized filets and a good portion of fries.

  • Claudia L.

    We come here every year and like to come during "island time" when they have drink specials and small plate specials. We noticed that the portions have gotten smaller. I found a hair in my taco. The staff was nice as always but I'm not convinced we'll be back next year.

    We've got Ceasar Salad, Seared Ahi Tuna & Kale Salad ( for myself ), Salmon Salad. Looks so delicious I even forgot to make a picture. The food is excellent and healthy, especially size - exactly what I like. I would recommended this place and would come back again.

    4.5 Stars I recommend: 1. shrimp like dish in appetizer. fucken good. usually i think people who serve shrimp do shitty jobs but this was really good. 2. black fish tacos fucken bomb. odd pineapple sauce with a fucken plantain small pieces in it on the side. really good. 3. their bread appetizer good with nutmeg and cinnamon butter. bread fresh. 4. All their desserts home made. Recommeend the creme brulee pinapple slice. nice touch. 5. kalua pulled pork sandwhich not bad at all. very good. Might go again sometime this week.

    There is nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Service and food are very good! A few of my favourites: ahi poke Napoleon. It is served in a tartare fashion with avocado on top. You eat this dish on crackers and it's so fresh and delicious! The Kobe and mushroom burger is absolutely to die for! So juicy, always cooked to perfection! Served with this garlic sauce, and grilled onions and shiitake mushrooms....mmmmm! Best burger I have had on Maui! Their salads are also very fresh and tasty! Great drinks and great happy hour! The staff is very professional and take great care of their customers! One of my favourite restaurants!

    2.5 stars. Ambiance -- I was surprised at how nice it was in the restaurant. Dim lighting and the wood decor was quite lovely, though it was the best part of the night. Service -- a little pushy with drink and appetizer orders but prompt and polite. Food -- the most disappointing aspect. The bread was good with some original butter spread made of nutmeg/cinnamon/ginger/honey. The spread was tasty, but as my wife commented, it would go better on waffles, and not so much dinner rolls because it was too sweet. I tried the steak and the wife tried a chicken/pasta. The steak was truly mediocre. It was cooked to my request but it was pretty fatty and lacked taste. I think they knew how bland it was because it was supremely oversalted. My wife's meal was also bland. The chicken was dry and overcooked. Both meals were also chock full of whole peppercorns. I love black pepper but in eating both of our meals, I grew tired of chewing on peppercorns with every other bite. We did try a piña colada, which was pretty good. Cost -- decent compared to many other comparable restaurants but the food just isn't worth it. Just for drinks, though, it's probably worth a shot.

    We were pleasantly surprised here, we really didn't know what to expect but the food was awesome and live music and terrace made the experience all that much better. Would definitely go back and our server was awesome she was on top of her game. Highly recommend this place if you are ever on Maui.

    It is with great sorrow that I have to admit, Tommy Bahama's is not as good as it used to be. The drinks don't pack the punch they once had. The food is still pretty good though. I'll go check it out again to be sure. I didn't recognize any of the bartenders. Maybe Tim is back from vacation. My daughter-in-law was there the other night and said they were rude. That has never happened there before no matter how busy they are.

    I love a place that combines two of my favorite hobbies: eating and shopping! Tommy Bahama's Tropical Cafe offers both. The restaurant is decorated super cute in a British Colonial style. Lots of tropical touches. Love the orchids throughout! The food is really good! I ordered the Cabo Fish Tacos with grilled basa. They were so tasty! There was a side of grilled plantains with a pineapple pudding that was awesome. I could have just ate that pudding and the plantains and been super happy. I ordered a mango iced tea which was very refreshing and icy cold. Perfect for a warm day on the island! My mom and sister ordered mixed drinks and both were so good! My mom had a Blue Hawaii and it was so creamy and smooth with coconut milk. Loved it. I forget the name of the drink my sister ordered, but it was actually a variation on the one offered on the menu. It was really good too. After lunch I slipped in the Tommy Bahama store next door for a little post-dining shopping. This was the perfect ending to a perfect meal! XOXO ;)

    Service and food were fantastic. I had the roasted veggies and they were really good! Also loved the martini selection! Four stars because it is pricey and touristy, so good but not life changing.

    My family and I went to Tommy's yesterday for lunch, what an amazing experience! The food was exceptional, virtually all locally sourced (the pacific cod crispy sandwich is huge and benefits massively from being fresh and perfectly cooked and is under $20!) barring the beef. It's really refreshing to see a restaurant go to great lengths to use local ingredients, not just because of the benefit to the local economy but because it is just so much fresher. The ahi is that beautiful deep red you don't get from the frozen junk which reflects in the texture. The cod was fresh off the boat tender and tasty. Considering the quality of the service and the food the pricing is cheap apps are around $15 each and entrees tend to be between $17 and $34 with lots of choices in the low $20's. There are also sandwiches (sorry don't recall the pricing). I think the kids meals were all under $10. The sliders (both short rib and scallop) are to die for! The ahi taco's are awesome, fresh and tasty! The desserts were great fun. we shared the huge 'death by chocolate' style cake and the adults only chocolate pudding. There is a decent selection of well priced wines ($34 for a bottle of Riesling, not bad for a restaurant!) and some great cocktails (seemed to be in the $9 to $13 range). The Pineapple Plantation is well worth a try as is "the bbc". What really made our day was the amazing service. Our server David was perfect, observant enough to be attentive without being obtrusive, great attitude, knew every dish inside out, great at making sure our kids food came quickly to keep them happy, a real credit to the restaurant. I have high expectations for the service, David exceeded them at every opportunity, well worth a 25% tip (very rare from me :) ). There really is an effort to ensure the high quality impacts every part of your experience, even down to the 'doggy bags'. Not only is the food storage in really nice strong containers (not the cheap foam ones) but they include utensils and napkins neatly presented. Since my previous favorite restaurant went downhill after relocating to Ka'anapali, this is my new favorite haunt, and significantly cheaper than the previous one! Another reason to go more often!

    Two visits here, first one was better service at the bar than the second one. However, the second time, the poor guy was busy with bar, service bar, takeout orders, answering the phone. Maybe some staffing at lunch? Some nice refreshing cocktails- cucumber smash for example. The chicken lollipops are so delicious and tender, and the ahi tuna/avocado mountain is also delicious. Nice breezy space upstairs at end of the shops.

    I'll admit that I was wrong guessing at what this place might be like. Seeing a commercial name, I had visions of lame bar food and some kooky jimmy buffet songs swirling about. Not even close, the food is really good. The Parmesan Crusted Sanibel Chicken is ridiculous and is probably my favorite comfort dish around. Speaking of comfort food, the kids mac is oh so good. Make sure to explore the entrees and try to avoid just solely ordering happy hour items ...I'm not saying the Happy hour stuff is subpar, but the rest of the menu is quite good. I almost forgot - the coconut shrimp is the best!

  • Al D.

    The worst dining experience in my 71 years of eating. Lousy, confused service by attractive , yet poorly trained wait staff. Not everyone at our table was served at the same time. One member was served after the rest of our party FINISHED our meal. Food was expensive and tasteless. Fish was fresh at one time but not tonight. It looked and tasted like frozen fish. $36 Mahi Mahi dish tasted like cardboard. I am not a complainer, search my other reviews and it will attest to my fairness. Tonight was a disaster and I wouldn't dare go back to give them a second chance. I don't think they are capable of improving. They need to stick to the shirt business and padlock the kitchen Dinner reservations at 6:00 p.m. Finished at 9:15

    So this restaurant is a chain, in a shopping mall, no view. However, the shops are great, pretty space. So, have lunch here. Wouldn't recommend dinner just because there are way too many options in the area. Waitress was great. Margarita was good, other drinks not so much (weak). Grilled Artichoke app. plus the crab bisque were way good. get them. Cuban sandwich, spectacular. Fish tacos, very good. It's a great lunch spot when at the shops.

  • Robert R.

    Another Island favorite for "Happy Hour". Get the Tommy Mojito, you won't regret it. By the way Happy Hour is really dinner time while on Maui. You want to eat lite and often which is the best way to enjoy yourself in the Tropics.

  • Dana H.

    The food is really good. I had the mahi mahi and it was really fresh, yummy flavor. I also got a salad. I think it was called the simple salad and the name said it all. It could've been named the boring salad because it was basically 2 leaves of lettuce and a couple slices of cherry tomatoes. The meal portions are not for sharing. My husband and I normally share a meal but this would never have fed us both. Definitely ask to sit on the patio!

  • Alex B.

    I can't speak for the other dishes that people on here didn't seem to like or thought were overpriced, but I can say that if you get the ribs you won't be disappointed. They were huge and fell off the bone. Also, $38 for enough ribs to feed two people is probably the most economical way to eat there or in most restaurants at the shops in Wailea

  • Matt R.

    Tommy Bahamas has excellent service and food. We went with our 2 yr old and mentioned we needed the meal to go quickly. Most servers just say ok and do nothing different but our waitress worked with a hustle I random see in vacation area restaurant employees. We had a crab cake, tuna, and the Thai scallops and shrimp. All dishes were excellently prepared and very fresh. Also the cocktail menu was creative and drinks were great. Will definitely be back before leaving Maui.

    Went here for the 2nd time tonight and Ioved my meal.. Also the bread with the cinnamon butter is Amazing!! The red white and blue salad was ehh ok but my dinner was so yummy!! I got the San Pedro Prawns, Jumbo shrimp in Caribbean spices with wild mushroom risotto with spinach on the side.. The Risotto was so good and creamy just like mom woulda made.. Very Good Meal.. Not a cheap place but its casual and friendly and a good decent meal...

    Great menu with plenty of offerings, including local fresh fish. We have dined at Tommy Bahama many times when visiting Maui and have always enjoyed the experience. It's a tad pricey, then again, you are in Maui. You will not be disappointed with any of the fish items on the menu. The key lime pie is amazing.

    Pricey, but the excellent burgers are worth every penny. The happy hour drinks at the bar are excellent (especially the Mai-tai) and the service is unfailingly professional. Even without an ocean view, the atmosphere is excellent.

  • Bonnie O.

    Their bar is my favorite rest spot after shopping at The Shops. They serve these teeny mini fish tacos as an appetizer that are yum! I had never had a fish taco before...it always sounded weird to me...but these were teeny and seemed approachable and I'm really happy I gave them a try! They've got a great happy hour and some decent wines by the glass listed. Stop in when you're in Wailea and you won't be disappointed!

    While once one of my favorite spots for happy hour or a dinner splurge, Tommy's has really slipped. The recent renovation (completed in spring 2011) has left the dining room both character-less and noisy. The bar, once a great place to share some stories and experiences with strangers, has turned into a quiet grumpy place... partly due to the tired, and bored, bartenders. Sadly, Tommy's looks like a restaurant trying to save a buck here and there. Food portions at happy hour have decreased. Glassware is cheap. And drink garnishes are boring and unimaginative. I've been to Tommy's many times over the past decades. This trip, we went twice. On the first experience we were disappointed, but thought we'd give it another go. On the second experience, another disappointment. Try the "Monkeypod" up the hill from Tommy's. A newer and better choice.

    This is a nice place to splurge. We found dinner on the patio to be superb. First we enjoyed mai tais and grapefruit basil martinis, followed by the delicious poke, then we each really loved our different varieties of fish. Oh, and the side of the asparagus with fresh parmesan was an unexpected gem. Our waiter went the extra mile: we really appreciated his lighthearted humor and aloha spirit!

    The ribs were good. The shrimp were good. The service was excellent. However, the place was so noisy, just like a high school cafeteria. Not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner.

    When you think of Tommy Bahama's the last thing that comes to mind is fabulous dining experience. The first thing that comes to mind is expensive aloha shirt made for yuppy guy who lives in a tropical climate. Our Maui friend suggested that we meet up at Tommy's for lunch and at first I was a bit skeptical. They make resort wear, not food. I'm 7 months pregnant and at this point all I have is food to keep me happy. No boos. No recreational drugs. No airplane trips. No hot yoga. Not even cute clothes. Don't mess with my meals dude! With reluctance we headed to Tommy Bahama's and I was pleasantly surprised at the good experience we ended up having. Located on the 2nd floor of the Shops At Wailea, Tommy Bahama's restaurant is a design extension of the neighboring Tommy Bahama's store. Their menu is made up of hearty salads and contemporary mexican/carribean cuisine. Our waitress was a very nice Argentinean girl who did a really great job except that for some reason she couldn't remember what kind of iced tea our friend had ordered. My BF & I decided to split the Steak Saba salad and the fish tacos. I highly recommend spitting dishes when you eat here because the portion sizes are HUGE! We could have probably ordered and split just one entree because of the sizes. They were nice enough to serve our orders on separate plates and the 1/2 order looked like a full order. We ended up with 4 huge fish tacos and I couldn't even finish my second taco. I was so full that even though I'm a total sweets fiend, I couldn't even order dessert at the end. The dessert tray looked amazing and the nice thing is that they offer half sizes of any of their ridiculously huge desserts. We had a wonderful experience and if you like salads you're going to really love Tommy Bahamas. They have a nice selection and the portion sizes make it so you're not ever going to walk away hungry. Like at their retail locations, be prepared to dish out some dough for your meal. Average entree runs $18+ and if you order cocktails you'll end up spending $30+ per person. That's just for lunch! Most likely you're on vacation if you're eating here so wear your $125 Tommy Bahama aloha shirt, eat your $20 Tommy Bahama fish tacos, drink your $10 Tommy Bahama mai tai and enjoy your luxurious Maui vacation. You're going back to the "real world" soon so enjoy the good life while you can!

    We came for a 5:30 reservation with two kids under 3 years if age. Our server Kathy was so helpful the whole time and completely aware and helpful of the fact that we had little ones with us. On top of that, the location, view, and overall atmosphere was amazing. A perfect spot for a nice Maui dinner. The relaxing live music was icing on the cake. Though we had to rush out due to the babies, we would absolutely suggest this location to anyone visiting Maui!

    I didn't know tommy bahama had a restaurant?! Attached to the clothing store..... this is one of very few places to eat in the wailea shopping area... so we came in here for dinner one night b/c we were hungers... totally Chili's/TGIF type chain restaurant but w/ the Tommy Bahama decor, etc. It's loud and stuff in here, but I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Not great or fancy, but not bad at all! The coconut shrimp was ok... could have had more flavor on the shrimp but it was OK w/ the sauce.. the sauce was just hard to scoop up. The ahi-tuna tacos were good and crunchy. I got the ahi-tuna entree.. it was good and plentiful. My dad got ribs and man.. they were tender off the bone tasty! The slaw was ok... light and nice. Don't come expecting anything unique or anti-chainish, but it was a good meal.

    We were looking for a nice lunch after returning from a snorkel trip and noticed good reviews of Tommy Bahama's restaurant in the Shops at Wailea. Honestly, I didn't even know that Tommy Bahama had a restaurant but it was a nice surprise. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon with no reservations and good a great seat outside. The service was great and the food was very nice. The caesar salad was amazing. I had a cuban sandwich and my partner had the kobe burger. Both were great. I especially loved the island slaw and yucca fries that came with my cuban sandwich. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a nice lunch (or probably dinner) in Wailea. The restaurant is connected to a Tommy Bahama store near the back of the Shops at Wailea so there are lots of shopping distractions before and after dinner.

  • Matt O.

    The service was good, the food was good, but some dishes are a complete rip-off. Case and point, my wife and my sister split the $38 ribs and received enough food to feed a small army. The ribs had a tasty BBQ sauce, but the edges were burned. I ordered the $32 thai shrimp and scallops and received three small shrimp, and three small scallops. It was not enough food to feed a child. I also could have purchased the ingredients raw and made fifteen of the same dish for the equivalent price. If the food was cooked in an amazing way that blew my mind I wouldn't care, but the fact is the coconut thai seasoning was uniform in flavor and after around five bites become totally monotonous (maybe that's why there were only a few). I recommend the restaurant, however, be sure to ask how much food is being provided with particular dishes.

  • Nicole W.

    Rating: 3.5 We went to Wailea for lunch and found very few options. We ended up here. We sat outside on the nice deck. I ordered the chopped salad. I never order salads but it sounded really good and thankfully tasted really good. For $20 I would have been pissed if it didn't. Hubby had the pork sando which looked delish and he liked it very much. The banana daiquiris were tasty too! Good food but pricey but what can you expect from a place that sells $100 aloha shirts.

  • Gary N.

    Took my family there for dinner last night. The service was excellent and our server was knowledgable about the wine menu items. Food came out promptly an was delicious, as was the wine. There was live entertainment on the dining patio which we enjoyed. Overall the items we liked best were the crab bisque and the red, white and bleu salad. I give it only three stars because it is a chain and culinarily speaking I do think chains can offer taste at the 4-5 star level. That being said I do recommend this place and would eat here again.

  • Jason H.

    We hit this place for happy hour and could not have been "happier". Live acoustic music, 3 cocktails, 2 not so "small plates" (pork and fish tacos that were phenomenal), and a bibb lettuce salad for about $40 plus tip. The crew there was super friendly and accommodating of a sleeping baby in a stroller. We will definitely be going back!

    Didn't realize this place even existed outside of the clothing store! We came here for a nice romantic dinner, which it was. We sat out on the deck, had some live music that was perfect background music. Not too loud or anything. We had some awesome drinks, they even went and got a bottle of my husbands favorite rum since they didn't have it in their bar, for his rum & coke! The food was delicious and we couldn't get enough of the salmon dip--we had to keep asking for more crackers! Very nice service, very friendly and the cost wasn't too bad at all. We even met another couple on their honeymoon :)

  • Melissa C.

    5 stars all the way. We dined on their outdoor patio next to the lovely musician. I ordered the basil martini w/grapefruit, which was delicious and HUGE and my husband got the gran daquiri with his favorite rum, ZAYA, which he loved as well. For food we wanted to keep it light so we split the ahi tuna taco appetizer (4 raw ahi tuna tacos in fried wonton wrappers) SO GOOD and then the shrimp and scallop curry entree. They put them into split portions and at first we weren't sure if they accidentally served us TWO entrees because the split portions were quite generous but it was really just ONE portion and SOOOOO good! Loved the service, too. Our waitress was Ashley and she was so sweet and patient and didn't put any pressure on us even though we were really there for just drinks and apps. Highly recommended and definitely go if you're in the gorgeous Wailea area.

    I went to Tommy Bahamas in Orlando and loved it so I knew for a really nice dinner that it wouldn't let me down after some window shopping at Wailea Shops. We were greeted and ordered Jalapeño Pineapple Mojito and a Grapefruit Martini. Of course got the plantains for an appetizer and then ordered Macadamia Encrusted Mahi Mahi and the Ahi Tuna. All very tasty. The ambiance was nice and there was a really good guitarist and singer playing music while we ate. Overall it didn't let me down. Very nice spot for a nice dinner with drinks.

    Look, you are in Maui enjoying tropical paradise and eating at a campy chain restaurant. Cut the place some slack. Don't expect too much and you'll be fine. Have an extra Mai Tai and sink into island relaxation. Fish Tacos were execellent. Cuban Sandwich also excellent. Portions are fine but prices are high for sure. Drinks were great and similarly pricey. Service was fine. Atmosphere..well, must I remind you again?? You're in Maui!

    With all of the luxurious meals available to those that visit the spectacular Wailea area of Maui, Tommy Bahama's cafe is often times unjustly overlooked. Situated at the westernmost side of the Wailea Shops, this restaurant exudes a laid-back beach style bar & grill attitude with friendly (and attractive...YES) servers and killer daily dinner fish specials. A creative cocktail list (recommend: Hurricane Tommy, Bahama Mama), unique appetizers (recommend: anything ahi, scallop sliders), and delicious entrees (recommend: Tommy's Rib Rack, Sanibel Stuffed Chicken) all make this place a must visit for lunch, dinner, or a simple afternoon cocktail. The major knock on this place is that there is no ocean view, but trust me when I say that the food and experience more than makes up for it. If you happen to find yourself vacationing in Wailea, make it a priority to check out Tommy's. The cuisine is moderately priced relative to other restaurants in the area, and it'll beat most dinner options found at the hotels nearby. Tip: Tommy's often has a live guitar player/singer during dinnertime. Songs from the likes of Hawaii's famous artists like Jack Johnson further enrich the dining experience.

  • Leona Y.

    I dined here on a Tuesday around 1pm for lunch and the place was almost empty. I'm thinking it's because it's located inside a small mall (The Shops at Wailea) and it's connected to the Tommy Bahama store which can make it a little difficult to find. I ordered the Grilled Ahi Tuna Melt which was very delicious! It comes with two taro bun sliders which has bacon, cheddar cheese, and a thick portion of the tuna. It also comes with a side garden salad. I'm not sure if this is usually on thier menu since it was listed under their specials for the day. If you see it though, you should def. order! My parents both agreed that the tuna melt was better than both of thier sandwiches (pulled pork sandwhich and cuban sandwhich). The reason why I took off one star is because of the price. I think my sandwhich was around $19 which is pretty pricy for what you get. But if you are ever in the Wailea area, make sure you stop by for a quick bite!

  • Apryl V.

    I was hot, thirsty and tired of shopping. While waiting for my husband and friend to finish golfing I decided I would stop by The TB Bar and check out the menu...& hey the pineapple mojito sounded pretty good. You would think that a young female sitting at a bar alone on Father's Day might get greeted with a smile. Especially since there were about 5 people total in the entire restaurant. Not so, I was given a menu only to be ignored for 10 minutes. I finally ordered and was asked if I was going to order food, when I replied I was not, I was immediately given a check and promptly ignored. The menu items looked decent but I wont be returning. Too uptight, over priced & paired with bad service... Conclusion: My Pineapple Mojito was too sweet and and the service was sour. 5 thumbs down!

    I was skeptical about coming here but the food was really good. The macadamia crusted mahi mahi and ribs were great. There was live music out on the patio area which added to the nice ambiance. We had a "prawn" appetizer, but the prawns turned out to be pretty small shrimp which was slightly disappointing.

    my wife and I came here for drinks and apps at the bar. The place is very nice inside I was impressed. The Bartender was very attentive and friendly. Apps were very good and drinks were awesome.

    Had the best drink I've ever had here: the pineapple jalapeño mojito. Food is excellent - I had the seared ahi with some wonderfully grilled bok choy, and my wife had a perfectly done pork chop. Didn't give it a full five stars because although the food is great, the pricing is rather high, at around $40/entree. And yes, you definitely need to try the key lime pie.

  • Fred Y.

    Very long wait between dinner salad and entree. I counted the croutons: THREE! Had to ask after a twenty minute wait to splash some more coffe in my cup. That's my barometer for wait persons. The chicken sanibel was ok, but far from WOW! All in all, would not waste my money or time going back.

    Overview: Island cafe- style restaurant in an outdoor mall. Doesn't sound great, does it? Oh, but you will be surprised! The atmosphere is lively, they always have some type of live music in the evenings and the waiters are friendly and comfortable. So, maybe this isn't the best food on the island, but if you order right, you won't be disappointed. Plus, they have great island drinks. That'll make anything better. Food: Key Lime Pie: I love, love, love their key lime pie. It is just the right balance of tangy and sweet. I had it (gasp) twice during our most recent visit. The slice they give you is HUGE ! You gotta share this dessert or risk having a gut on the beach. Fillet: This was surprisingly very delicious. The meat was quality, perfectly cooked and served with a delicious red wine sauce. I admit, this is pretty basic, but just delicious. Also, I loved their asparagus. They serve this grilled with lemon oil and grana padano cheese. Ribs: These were so tender that you can literally use a fork and knife to eat them. No messy hands here! They were very delicious. Stay Away: Okay, along with the good there are some bad dishes unfortunately. I had the pork loin and while it was cooked perfectly, I really didn't like the chunky cherry compote they put on top. It really needs a more liquid sauce to compliment the grilled meat. This was served with whipped sweet potatoes with a struesel topping which I actually liked, but it tasted a bit like dessert rather than an entree side dish. Bread: Fresh and warm. Served with cinnamon butter. I like plain butter better and my hubby loves the cinnamon butter. Personal preference... Service: Good, comfortable and very friendly. Food is served pretty fast here.

    Nice pineapple mojitos and great whiskey sours. Stick with pupu's and drinks to try lots of flavors and not break da bank. They have killer sweet potato fries that they serve with a creamy honey mustard sauce. I hate mustard and this stuff is ono-licious. I don't know if it is still on the dinner menu, but they used to make a sanibel chicken. It was stuffed with boursin cheese and served with a red pepper cream sauce. OMG Even as a resident of Maui for almost a decade, when I go to TB, I feel like I am on vacation again. Aloha!

    I love this place. My family is in Maui about every other year, and we stay at the GWR, so Tommy Bahama's is close and easy and usually our first night dinner. It's always good, and really consistent. The service is lovely. The only sad thing is since the new building went up, the view is gone. But the food is still delicious and satisfying. I'll always eat here when I'm in Hawaii.

    As unlikely as a restaurant offshoot of a clothing store seems as a good restaurant, it is my favorite restaurant on Maui. When visiting we always eat here at least twice and we're making it three times this trip. Everything I've had is good but highlights are the Mai Tais, Cuban sandwich, salads, and Piña Colada cake.

    Attention this is only for happy hour and only for their pineapple mojitos which were delish. I did not eat anything but the drink alone has me craving to come back to try something else. People watching is great, the location is convenient in the shops @ Wailea and even though it is a chain...I like...where is that button.

    Waiter brings me Chardonnay instead of Cabernet. I told him...umm..I ordered Cab//....and he tells me why don't I just drink this instead. FAIL. Hubs got the chicken salad. Got served cut up chicken breast...with a half chopped lettuce. Meaning..the lettuce was just cut in half. Really...he had to sit there and cut up his own salad. FAIL. I don't remember what I got but it was a chicken/shrimp dish. Got served a chicken dish with 2 pieces of itty bitty shrimp. Salty. FAIL. Coconut pineapple cake was taken togo since we couldn't wait to get out of there. That cake on the other hand...it twas' gooooodddd. Over all...I never liked Tommy Bahamas...and I never will.

    The star rating reflects the service more than the food. We came in with party of 9( 5-kids 4- adults). we ordered salads, heavy apps and I had a main course. Our server was barely by our table, the manager walked by and seemed to be checked out. Basically, we were given one glass of water with no refills, had a beer with never a check in to see if i wanted another. In this economy, I would expect on the of the most expensive restaurants to be more on it. Apparently they are doing fine. Many of my friends ask me for my opinion when going to Maui, I cannot say I wold recommend Tommy's after this last visit. I heard recently they changed GM's so that might have something to do with it, but at their prices, it is not worth it.

    Met with some friends for an early dinner here and it is for tourists as no locals will be found here. Nice enough atmosphere, but high priced for what you get. I got an appetizer of mini-ahi taco's for $19. They were very mini and not worth any where near $19 [a fish restaurant in San Francisco serves up a much nicer similar appetizer for $5.50]. I got a Cesar salad that was a few leaves of romaine with a little parmesan cheese shredded on it. So the bill with 4-drinks was $200 & while not outrageous for Hawaii, I def will not be going back to Tommy Bahama's.

    Cocktails good - Bombay English blueberry gin. Food - we tried Farm to table and was a but sloppy. Tomato capresse had a flavorless tomato cut into 3 with goat cheese lumped on and a lurid pink sauce on the whole plate. Do nit think farm to table means good or quality! Other food a mix....butterfish good minus topping, macadamia snapper ok but sloppy, crab cakes good. Service - nothing bad nor special. There was live music that was nice to dine to. There is no sunset beach view we could see here, just views of hotels.

    Wow, who knew Tommy had a restaurant? While strolling the Shops at Wailea, we hungrily found our way at Tommy's front door, and after ten minutes of waiting-- It was not very busy...it just seemed they like to have people wait, before they get to a table and wait for the server to show up. Service was a too slow, for such a HIGH end/pricey menu. Eating here will help you adjust to the $125 shirts next door. I really did think dropping $75.00 on lunch would get me a 10% off at the store...uh, WRONG on that one. On the plus side, Mango ice was FANTASTIC, in fact everything we had, pork pulled BBQ sandwich, crab-cakes and a few other items were TOP notch. My guess is, we will go back, next time we hit Maui that is....

    We visited this restaurant for lunch and the experience turned out to be our favorite lunch place in Maui! Tropical atmosphere and the prices were decent for the quality of the food. Service was on-point. Their lemonade was fresh-squeezed, very yummy. Tomato soup was delish as well. As for entrees, we ordered salads and they were SO SO GOOD! ARUBA ARUGULA SALAD Caribbean cracker-meal seared jumbo shrimp and scallops on a bed of fresh baby arugula, tossed with tamarind vinaigrette. Garnished with sliced papaya and chopped peanuts. 19.50 SABA STEAK SALAD Marinated and char-grilled tenderloin medallions served over a bed of locally grown greens tossed with tamarind vinaigrette. Garnished with grilled potatoes, roma tomatoes, shiitake chips and garlic aioli. 20.50 We sat near the patio porch and birds would come visit out table every now and then, it was a bit entertaining and relaxing!

    This was the only dinner place we went twice. Both times the food/drinks/service were outstanding. Their prices are high but at least you get what you pay for. We tried a few places over the course of our vacation that hurt the pocket book and didn't give you much in return. So between two dinners we tried the following appetizers: Ahi Poke, Scallop Sliders and the Goat Cheese... all were yummy. Can't remember what we had for the first dinner. It was our first night there so I forgot to take notes. The second time we had the Little Palm Pasta, Opah, Ahi dinner and the Curry Shrimp & Scallops (with just scallops). All of it was delicious. The drinks here were definitely some of the best we had during our trip. The Coconut Cloud martini, Oahu Star and Grey Goose Martini were some of our favorites. Oh and don't forget to try the BBC (Banana, Bailey's, Coconut) drink... makes a great dessert. Our service was great both times. The second time our waitress was so great. She had helpful suggestions (ie.. getting the Curry Shrimp and Scallops with just the Scallops cause the person ordering it was allergic to shrimp and then saving the day by remembering that they use shrimp in the stock for the lobster bisque he tried to order), she was personable and funny to boot. This was a great dinner that took our mind off that fact we had to return home the next day.

    I called because we were running late. We were on our way to the airport and I wanted to make sure we were okay in our airport clothes (jeans and sneakers). The hostesses response: "Sure. No worries!" I loveee Maui. Fine dining in sneakers. Amazing. I guess they wanted to make our last meal in Maui memorable because they gave us an amazing table outside right as the sun was setting. Although it wasn't ocean view, a sunset in Maui is amazing even if you are in your hotel room with the shades drawn. Service: EVERYONE was incredible. The hostesses came over and talked to us. The manager came over and talked to us. Our server (Patrick? Right? He is from Orange County and has a brother that lives in Hawaii) was incredible. My boy was trying to tell me it was his first nite because he was so on top of his tables with refills, fresh bread etc. I quickly proved him wrong. The kid was such a good server he was just on top of his game: He could describe every type of dessert down to consistency and ingredients used in the whipped cream, every special was memorized and he suggested my entree which was one of the best entrees I had in Maui. Food: We split a Cesear salad to start and the Antigua quesadillas. Both were amazing. The sundried tomatoes were a nice touch and the salad came split already. The boy had the chicken and I had the tuna (Patrick's suggestion), both were great. Now, my aunt suggested this restaurant to me and told me to save room for the key lime pie. I don't even like key-lime pie, but if something is suggested as "the best", I need to try it. I ordered a half slice of it (nice touch! I love that they offer half slices) and the boy ordered a half slice of the pina colada cake. I didn't really like his, but I don't like rum-soaked desserts, that includes you, tiramasu. The key lime pie was to die for! And, again, I don't even like key lime pie. Price: I think for a couple of beers, a couple of iced teas, two appetizers, two entrees, two desserts, somewhere around $150. Incredible! In Wailea, nonetheless! You couldn't come close to that price in NYC or many other places in Maui. All in all, it was a great deal, great service and amazing food. It was an amazing last meal in Maui. I anxiously await my next trip.

    I would say the best thing about this place is the mango iced tea and the key lime pie. The menu is limited, very reminiscent of chain food(it is a chain restaurant so I guess it's not surprising). Unoriginal food, somewhat slow service and a bad location. I'd skip it.

    The macadamia nut crusted goat cheese with pineapple salsa keeps us coming back but the cheeseburger and gosh tacos are also excellent Drinks are pretty big and pretty strong but the cheese is the real winner

    We are always afraid of any type of chain but this is so far from a chain feel, you will be amazed! We just came in from the mainland and were starving for anything that wasn't pretzels and peanuts from an airplane! Made a quick reservation at Tommy Bahama's and made our way over to the Shops at Wailea location. We arrived a bit early and they seated us on the outdoor patio where we proceeded to enjoy the night air, delicious drinks, really tasty food and had an overall terrific evening! Great start to our trip! May even go back again before we leave! Definately recommend!

    My wife and I had a great meal at a Tommy Bahama's in Orlando FL so we went into this meal with high expectations. Sadly, these were not to be met. Crowds and some loudness was somethat expected but the service was VERY inconsistent and everything seemed "off". Our red wine was at about 75 degrees so we had to order a cooler to try and save it - ordered Pelligrino water and the server doesn't pour the water? Okay, you also go to a restaurant for the food and it was very good. My wife's salad was beautiful collection of greens and I had the classic coconut shrimp. Kids meals looked like they came out of a can - maybe a good strategy - they liked them. My wife's filet with fingerling potatoes was very good and my hawaiian fish (drawing a blank on name) was also good - perhaps just a touch overcooked but not fatal. As others have mentioned, it's pricey and wouldn't be my first choice for a meal. If you're in Wailea area - check out my other reviews for some hidden finds.

    I'm not sure if I am giving Tommy Bahama's a fair shake because of all the wonderful meals and experiences in Maui but I will call 'Balls and Strikes" and you make your own decision. Atmosphere: Extremely relaxing and laid back. I would say this is the best quality of the place. Service: Our waitress was not on her game for our visit and was extremely difficult to get prompt service (meaning you had try and slow her down as she ran past your table to get something) but the front staff was extremely helpful in getting us a car so they off set each other. Food: Definitely 3 stars, I went with the grill Pork Chop it was good not great. Overall, a nice experience, depending upon what you are looking for in Maui, for the price a good place to visit.

  • Jeremy B.

    My wife and I had a late lunch at Tommy Bahama's. This was our first meal in Maui, and the prices were quite a shock when compared to the mainland (compared to Chicago's equivalent restaurants). That said, the feel of the restaurant was well maintained with attentive servers. I had the Kobe Burger with caramelized onions, mushrooms and garlic butter. Delicious burger and I rarely get to eat Kobe beef let alone in a tropical locale, so the $19 burger was a little easier to swallow. The complimentary rolls with cinnamon/nutmeg/coconut butter are creamy and sweet.

    Service was S L O W tonight. Don't know what was going on in the kitchen but we waited and waited and waited for our entrees. Well when our food finally arrived it was good - not great. My Island Cowboy steak was prepared well rather than medium/well as ordered. The mashed sweet potatoes were very good.

    Best Pina Colada ever, hands down! Even though it is 8:15 in the morning as I am typing this review, just the thought of their Pina Colada makes me crave one right now. Dinner here was good, a bit on the pricey side I thought, but good. Prices were almost in line with a fine dining restaurant but I don't consider this fine dining. Dinner was good though! The coconut shrimp are amazing. I also had the mahi mahi which was very tasty. I also highly rate Tommy B's on the atmosphere! I usually don't expect much from a mall restaurant but once you step inside, you will see what I mean. There is no feeling of being in a mall restaurant here at all. The service was wonderful, not to quick, not to slow, just right. Great service, food, atmosphere and drinks!! Can't ask for much more :)

    Nice guitar music and decor. The waitress was a bit cranky. I ordered the scallop sliders and a side of mashed potatoes. The scallops were overcooked and soggy. The mashed potatoes were ok. The portion was large enough for 3-4 people. The best deal in town appears to be at the Four Seasons right now. Prix Fix at either Duo or Ferraro's for $49 (app, entree, dessert) and free valet parking.

    We've been here twice this vacation, and a few times before this, and each time I expect it to be bad. Because, you know, it's a chain theme restaurant, and those are always bad, right? Kinda my golden rule is if they play Jimmy Buffett music the food is going to be bad. But I keep getting surprised by this place being good. I guess it takes me a few times for something to sink in. Everything we've had has been yummy and fresh. Not big-box tasting. No brown marks on the lettuce, no soggy or stale anything, even when you come in at 3:00pm, a time when you'd think they'd be trying to get rid of the stuff they prepped for an already-past lunch crowd. The margaritas taste like they really are made with at least some fresh lime juice (they don't taste like the bottled sweet and sour mix) and the tequila does taste like the top shelf stuff. The servers check back often enough that you can ask for extra lime for your tacos, and get it while they're still hot.

  • Maggie D.

    I love Tommy Bahamas. I wish they had more restaurants around the country. Every time I am in Maui this is a must go to restaurant. They have wonderful dishes and I would recommend basically anything here. My favorite is the Lunch Cobb Salad. I always get this at night even though it's a lunch dish. Also you cannot miss out on the bread! It's AMAZING! Their cinnamon nutmeg butter is so delicious I can never get enough. That being said their desserts are average. I would rather go to lapparts downstairs :)

  • Chris A.

    We stopped here to eat on our way to the airport at the end of our trip. Here's my take: This place has a really corporate feel, which is no surprise given that it is part of a chain. I usually avoid chain places, but this place was convenient at the time. The food was good, which it should be, because this place is very expensive. Think Mama's Fish House prices without the Mama's Fish House experience. The service was top notch. We told our server at the outset of our meal we were on our way to the airport, and she did a great job of expediting our meal. The crowd here is a bit douchey for my taste. OK, a lot of douchey for my taste. Keep it real people. Leave the Prada bags, the $200+ jeans, and the matching attitudes on the mainland. Mahalo for your cooperation.

    I hit up the Tommy Bahama bar every time I am in town (staying at the Marriott Wailea) for business. They have a small happy hour menu, but it has some good stuff on it (fish tacos, poke stack), and some good drinks too. The only problem is that their happy hours ends at 5:00p. Plan to get there early so you don't miss it, as their regular menu is pretty spendy.

  • Mark W.

    We came in-between lunch and dinner sat at the bar. The service was friendly the decor was fun the food was lacking. I got the chicken quesadilla which wasn't good at all. My wife got the pull pork sandwich which was flavorful but only a small amount of pork sat on this huge roll.

    (3)

  • Guy R.

    The goat cheese appetizer was very good. The place is LOUD! The service was poor and the prices are freaking outrageous! I had the ribs, which were good but not special. We're not drinkers so for two people to have an average meal that costs $100 is irritating. Probably the most frustrating meal during our two week visit in Hawaii.

  • Amie N.

    This was one of my favorite resturants on Maui and I definitely did not expect that to happen! Our waiter was incredibly nice and the atmosphere was great! There was someone singing & playing guitar and it was very nice too. They had vegan options on the menu which always makes me happy and it was delicious! 5 stars!

  • Mae S.

    The menu descriptions are all very exaggerated -- too many ingredients, too many claims, too much too much. Example "ST. CROIX CHOPPED SALAD -- Diced marinated and grilled chicken breast, fresh mixed greens, vine-ripened roma tomatoes, Maytag bleu cheese, Granny Smith apples, macadamia nuts, hickory smoked bacon and sweet corn tossed with our honey-lime vinaigrette. Garnished with garlic croutons. $19.50" The service was ridiculously slow. I keep defending island prices -- but these are way overpriced. No wonder there were hardly any customers. They should maybe stick to exaggerated Hawaiian shirts at exaggerated prices.

    (2)

  • Sharon J.

    This place was just okay... For me, it was way overpriced; the cheapest entree was about $25. I went with 2 other people and we weren't too hungry so we ordered a simple salad, crab cake stuffed shrimp, and the macadamia nut encrusted snapper to all share. The portions were not that big and the food wasn't extraordinary. However, the staff was very nice and the place itself was nice. Only complaint is the limited menu and prices. We spent $98 on a meal we almost skipped.

    (3)

  • Tania G.

    I should disclose I haven't actually eaten a real meal here. More of a pupus and cocktails sort of gal. I love the martinis here. The big island goat cheese is wonderfully nutty, creamy and sweet, made with mac nuts, mango salsa and a soy glaze. The loki loki tuna poke is my absolute favorite. For you locals, don't think poke, think tartare, with guacamole. To fill up, go for the antigua quesadilla. Sitting out on the lanai with some mellow live music, what else could you ask for?

    We came here to meet up with our wedding coordinator and her musician husband sing the night before our wedding. We had some ahi tar tar that was DELICIOUS!! The rest of the food and drinks were mediocre and over priced. The ambiance created by the outdoor seating (candles, breeze, just knowing you are in MAUI!), beautiful voice of Jamie and being surrounded by close friends made the night amazing. I am bias though -- we were getting a sneak peak of the artist who sang on our special day.

    No, I never thought I would give five stars to a restaurant that is a spin off of a company that makes lounge-wear for middle-aged white people, but Tommy Bahamas in Maui is really, truly excellent in every way. It has everything: atmosphere, beauty, charming waitstaff, excellent live music, and delicious local food. Prices are comparable to other fine dining restaurants in Hawaii. (25-50 dollar range for an entree). I went back a few nights ago for the fourth or fifth time, and it was better than ever. The list of specials featured all farm-to-table local fare, which I hadn't remembered from previous visits. We enjoyed the candle-lit patio and absolutely magical live slack-key guitar. My boyfriend and I shared the macadamia-crusted goat cheese, the bungalow salad and the jerk chicken, and all were excellent. The only thing that could improve this place would be a water view. (They used to have one, before the condo complex was constructed!) In any case, this is definitely one of the best places to eat in Wailea.

    Ordinarily I would go out of my way to avoid a chain type restaurant, but will say that I am thrilled we gave this a try! My coconut cloud cocktail was just as the server described - a boozy coconut drink. Started with their signature coconut shrimp with a wonderful cilantro, cabbage, red onion pineapple slaw and followed up with some pretty tasty blackened fish tacos. Garnish to the tacos was a little bit of fried plantain in a sour cream sauce. Server was super friendly and very knowledgeable.

    My favorite place for lunch on Maui. I come here quite a bit but today had the most amazing butterscotch pudding. It was the best dessert I have had at a restaurant since I can remember.

  • Joe M.

    My wife and two children (16 and 12) enjoyed a very nice, though very pricey, meal here last Sunday night. Service and entertainment were excellent, the decor was appropriately tropical, and the food was very good. The appetizers we ordered - the Crab Calloway and South Seas Scallops Sliders - were outstanding, as was the Bungalow Salad my wife and I split. The popover bread with honey, nutmeg and cinnamon butter was served warm (warm bread, for me, is often a bellwether for the rest of a meal and it was certainly the case here). The entrees were a bit more mixed. My Trinidad Tuna was cooked just right, and the sweet chili sauce and cilantro oil drizzle was delicious, but the fish itself was a little tough in some spots. My wife and 16yo daughter had the special - a crab-crusted Ono that was a bit overcooked (in both cases) but otherwise tasty. My 12yo son's enormous rack of baby back ribs came with a great blackberry brandy barbecue sauce, and was twice as much as he could eat (especially after the appetizers). The drinks were good - though that's not what we were primarily interested (I'm much more of a wine snob and beer snob than tropical drink snob ... though I only drink 100% agave tequila). The service was outstanding throughout. We were entertained by Howard Ahia, playing classical and classic rock music on his classical guitar. Every song was fabulous, and we found it hard to leave - almost ordered another round of drinks, but it was our first day in Maui, and we wanted to get the the nearby Maui Dive shop to rent snorkel gear before it closed. All in all, it was a very good meal, but it did cost over $300 (before tip).

    So, how much can you really expect from a restaurant in the middle of honestly, a huge strip-mall? Well, given it's smack-dab in the middle of Kihei flanked by some of the most renowned restaurants in the U.S. at virtually every 5-star resort from the Four Seasons to the Grand Wailea; you'd hope it would self-servingly hold its own. But I hate to tell you that it was quite possibly one of the most overrated and disappointing food experiences I've ever had. There were two modes at this place, super-salty or no flavor at all. The "world famous" Tommy Bahama coconut shrimp tasted as if it had been "famously" frozen and the accompanying chutney was as uneventful as they come. Sadly, not working to bring out any of the shrimp's "natural" sweetness, rather dumping more sugar over sugar, over the shrimp. Pretty bad choice. The soup was a bit of saving grace although a "Mexican" inspired dish being their best was a bit odd considering we were sitting amongst the beauty of Maui and all. How do Hawaiians say "la sopa es bien?" Sadly though, I'd rather have a bowl of Tortilla Soup at Chilis. The entrees I really won't spend anytime on, as they truly don't deserve it. Something about shrimp and scallops and an entree with snapper. I think we'd rather salt and pepper a piece of cardboard, microwave it and eat that. Whatever was to be moist was dry. What was to be dry was mushy. Everything was over-salted and I'm sure my blood pressure jumped a wee bit. The side of "gourmet broccolini" was grilled to the point where an elderly person could have gummed their way through it. Oh, and did I mention there was salt on those too? Too much salt? All righty then. So I guess if you are seeking a strip mall ambiance, with sadly slow (which I didn't even touch upon) service, salt, dried up food, mushy food, salt, horrid preparation....oh, and salt. Then Tommy Bahama's should be homebase! The kicker is I spent as much as I would at a gourmet establishment on the mainland in Napa as I did at this ridiculous place. For me, I'd rather go down the street to the Kihei Cafe and grab a bowl of fried rice and bacon. (Mmmmm....bacon.)

    This place was top notch, food and service were great. The food was spot on tasty, the service was efficient, friendly, fast, and helpful.

    Enough has been said about consistently good food and drinks at the Cafe. Saba Steak Salad is great at lunch. The Sea Bass on Asparagus stellar at dinner. The crab bisque sublime at any time. I work nearby and come here frequently and am quite happy with the place BUT here's a tip .... From 4:00 until 6:00 and after 9:00pm every day Tommy's has the most amazing "Attitude Adjustment Period" Happy hour on steroids. Cocktails are $6 or $8 which includes great wine by the glass. They have a half dozen or more small plates - coconut shrimp, sliders, fish tacos, quesadillas and more for only $6. The best value in Wailea. Great for the budget conscious or if you just want a light meal. You'll love it. Just sit at a table please so I can still get a seat at the bar!

    We make at least 1 trip per year to the Big Island and always look forward to lunch and shopping at the Tommy Bahama cafe in Mauna Lani. Our most recent visit in October 2010 was a huge disappointment. We ordered cocktails and the prix fixe lunch menu which listed 3 courses. When our bill came, we were charged $12 EACH for the key lime pie. We of course complained to the manager, who explained that he has argued with "corporate" over the amibguity of the menu, but the pie is not included in the prix fixe lunch. With some arguing, he deducted the price of one slice of pie. 1. The key lime pie was average. Good--just okay. In fact, I would be hard pressed to find a piece of pie worth $12. Tom Douglas Coconut Cream comes to mind (which is $35 for a whole pie)--but TB or any other key lime is a distant...well, it's distant. Not even close to 2nd. 2. Who in the freaking heck charges $12 for a slice of pie. I mean, nothing special about it. Your average 1/8 slice. No whip. No fresh fruit garnish. Nada. Pie on plate. Sheesh. 3. When you list PRIX FIXE at the top of your menu and 3 courses underneath, the assumption is clearly that all is included. There was no "and may we suggest for dessert at additional charge...ask your server...". Despite the argument from the manager, this is blatant lying, deception, and really, really, really poor service. 4. I've been in the restaurant biz a long time and it was pretty clear to me that both the waitress and the manager were out and out LYING and knew full well that--as others have apparently been--we would be upset with a PIE BILL tantamount to 1/3 of our bill...of course some ditz in the corporate office who is a pencil-pusher and knows NOTHING about the hospitality service is likely most to blame. Actually, the waitress was very competent and I hope she's found a position where her type of skill is more appreciated and customers are treated as a valuable commodity. 5. We will never return and will not recommend TB's and will go out of our way--in the same manner that TB went out of their way to deceive us--and leave this restaurant review in as many places as we can find.

    If you want to leave your resort to eat in Wailea, but don't feel like driving, the Tommy Bahama Cafe is the perfect solution. It is located in the back of the Shops at Wailea. The other options in close proximity are Cheeseburger Island Style (poor reviews) and the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I like the ambiance at Tommy Bahama. They often have live music (they did on both of our recent visits) and the service is very friendly. If you have to wait for a table, you can always shop in the Tommy Bahama store next door or grab a drink at the bar. To start, the drinks are fantastic. They have a huge menu of tropical drinks that all sound delicious. I tried TB's Rum and Coke, which had Tommy Bahama rum in it. It was very good. The ladies got tropical smoothies of some type and both were delicious. The food is very flavorful. Almost everything is unique on the menu with various creative sauces. The portions are large. I have tried a few different entrees and appetizers. The Loki Loki Tuna Poke was very good. The Sanibel Stuffed Chicken stands out in my memory as being special. The baby back ribs were also tasty. For dessert, you can't go wrong with any of the options (from what I remember) but the Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake was delicious. They have a completely different menu for lunch. I have not been for lunch since 2006, so I cannot tell you what to expect. I can tell you that I wouldn't hesitate to go back for lunch, dinner or drinks.

    Great staff (Katie, Kristi and Jason) we met on Friday, June 10th at Happy Hour. Staff was extremely customer friendly and customer focused. Happy Hour pupus were delicious too. This could be everyone's "Cheer's Bar".....very comfortable. -joe and Claire

    Visited twice back in October 2012. Went first time for Dinner and second time for Happy Hour. Drew was our Waiter. He's great and let us know about the Happy Hour specials. Went with another couple from our hotel for Happy Hour 2 days later and really enjoyed the selection and prices.

    We make it a point to have dinner here whenever we visit Maui. They have romantic outdoor seating with live music. Attentive servers and amazing complimentary bread with cinnamon butter. Good vegetarian options ... They actually recreated a dish for me that I had in the past that is no longer on the menu. My husband always gets one of their chicken dishes and is always pleased. It is pricier but worth it.

    Went here a few days ago. I love the cowboy steak. Perfectly cooked and the simple mashed potatoes are perfect. Seems like all the dishes my family ordered liked theirs too even my picky little cousins. And the service is good too. Very attentive and friendly.

    We went here twice in a row after my great culinary experience the first time. Really great service; enough that they remembered that my anniversary was the following day upon our return for the 2nd reservation. Everyone knew from the hostess to the busboy and they gave me a free dessert. My first entree was the jerk pork...was pleasantly surprised at the volume of pork...couldn't finish it all...it was soft and succulent...not dry which is easy to do with pork. My husband had the shrimp and scallops of which he cleaned his plate. My entree on the following day was the braised short rib also soft and succulent and plenty of it. The mashed potatoes were also creamy and plentiful. My spouse had the crab-stuffed shrimp of which he cleaned his plate once again. Oh I forget, we also had two appetizers which were phenomenal: the ceviche which was mahi-based as well as the chicken lollipops were incredible and I was quite satisified. Will definitely return to Tommy Bahama.

    I've eaten at the OC location many times. It had a nice locally slanted menu. The ahi ceviche was not as flavorful as I hoped, and it seemed, I don't know, "old" perhaps. Otherwise the food was ok. They were though super nice to our 2.5 year old, and the rest of the meal was on par.

  • Jessica C.

    plantains. I know I should wait to detail how wonderful the plantains were served, tasted and showcased, but won't. My sister was excited to view these on the menu, as well as share these with the rest of the family. Sunburnt, weary from window shopping, exhausted - but still grinning because of beautiful Hawaii, the location at the top level over looking the beach is perfect. The light at the end of the tunnel. The cocktails were extreme. Not too much, and a great variety. The most entertainment are the people situated at the bar, and the way the bartendars maneuver in the heat and rush-hour. If I make it back to the area, and I am shopping, I will venture back to this restaurant with my family.

    Let me just start by saying that I had NO clue that Tommy Bahamas had any type of food and beverage service what-so-ever. I thought they only dealt with clothing. Anyways, kudos to them. Haha. I think my experience was a little skewed because our party included about 10 or so, very energetic, talkative people. The service was a little strange. They would take some of our orders and go away, then come back and take more orders and go away again. It was just... odd. But I couldn't complain too much because seriously... the food was bomb. I wish I could have ordered everything on the menu (and maybe one day I will), but for SURE... you have to try the following items: - Pineapple Mojito - South Sea Scallop Sliders (Seriously... if I died right now, I would want to have a Slider from Tommy Bahamas before I passed away OR I would hope that heaven served this dish on a daily basis.) - Whipped Bayou Sweet Potatoes (Speaking of heaven... This dish IS heaven.) - Coconut Shrimp (I don't normally dig coconut-laced food items, but I'm sure everyone else would kill for this dish. I also had a bite of the garlic rice, the plantain combo, and some of Tommy Bahama's complimentary bread with pumpkin butter; all theses dishes were nothing less than yummy. I think the closest Cafe to the Bay Area is in SoCal. I guess I'll just have to make the trip. I know it'll be worth it. Trust me.

    So this place is OK..nothing great. I don't think it's fair to say it is in the $$ bracket as the kids steak was $17! Overall, just ok...staff was decent but there are better places to eat in Maui.

  • Nicole B.

    I give this place four stars for ambiance. I really like the theme of the restaurant. The food was also good. We ordered the coconut shrimp to start. I feel like the batter was a little too heavy for shrimp. It felt like it would maybe be good on onion rings. Then I had the tortilla soup, lived that. Hub had the quesadilla and I had to Saba steak salad. They were decent, not fantastic. Heard their key lime pie was awesome so we decided to order it for dessert. it was ok, the crust was a little gummy. I am used to cafe rio's key lime pie which is unbelievably good. So my judgement here is probably a little biased.

    All references to hit-or-miss service, price or "campy" chain restaurants aside, we always seem to do well when we go here. We come to Maui every year and this is a place we always seem to end up at. With that said, this place is not without its plusses and minuses. This time we went to TB's the first day as the whole family wanted "umbrella drinks" to celebrate our vacation, and the staff accommodated the kids juices with the umbrellas. We were not too hungry, so we just did appetizers, which were OK, we had the ahi tacos and the sashimi. We had two mai tai's and the kids had chicken fingers, all ok. The stunner was the bill, at $78.00. A tad pricey for just appetizers. Two nights later, we went for dinner. I had the farm to table mahi magi which had some local mushrooms and baby bok choi in a miso broth, and it was fantastic. I'm a carb guy and there was no starch on the plate, but what a filling and savory dish, I'd get it again in a heartbeat. My wife had the butterfish and noted it blew the doors off of the butterfish at Gannons. Service was terrific as our particular server was super helpful and did not let us want for anything, including a 1/2 price bottle of wine. (she mistook an offer that ended in July, but gave us the break anyhow). I would recommend this place as a consistent bet.

  • Karen A.

    Very good for a chain restaurant. Atmosphere was a bit noisy. We chose to share multiple appetizers rather than order entrees. We enjoyed all of them. Very good prawns and ahi tuna.

  • Hessaire G.

    My husband and I really liked this restaurant, it was great food, though a little pricey for portion size. We were sitting outside so it was a little dark and I didn't notice until half way through the meal that my chicken wasn't fully cooked. Luckily I didn't get sick after! Anyway, they gave me a new meal and dessert on the house. The waitress was great, I'd probably go again despite the semi-negative experience as long as someone else way paying! :)

    Tommy Bahama's Cafe....hmmm...do i go there to buy an overpriced shirt? Do i get a free glass when I order a fancy tropical drink like at Planet Hollywood? Unlike PH or Hard Rock Cafe -type restaurants, I didnt feel like that at this one. My dad wanted to meet us here for lunch one day and said this was one of the places he most frequents with clients and such, so wanted to bring us here. We got there a little after 11am and it was pretty empty so the wait staff was very attentive. The waiter dude went so far as to move our umbrella over so that the sun wasnt in my dad's eyes when we didnt ask him to! +1 star. However, my dad's a local so he happens to like the sun in his face. whatever....it was a nice gesture. So i got the pulled pork sammich and my wife got the chicken sammich. Both were really good and came with killer fries. The pork was onolicious and sloppy but good sloppy! Overall a good place to eat good food outdoors. Plus its within walking distance of The Grand and you can shop afterwards!

  • Jason G.

    I wasn't impressed. Just another excuse to have overpriced, themed food in a tourist area. The bisque was uneventful, the plantain chips were too greasy, and I'm so underwhelmed it's killing me to even write this much about this place. Blah.

  • Beth M.

    This restaurant really surprised me, in a good way. BF and I both ordered a steak salad, and my first reaction was "great, another $60 meal for two salads in Maui". Oh no...this salad had a full slab of steak on it, the best dressing I've had, some shitakee mushroom crisps (must learn how to make or where to buy), and some tomatoes and potatoes. Unusual combination yes, but made for one of, if not the, best and most-filling salad I've ever had. I'm not even going to talk about the butterscotch dessert. Two weeks later I'm still a little too full to think about it. If you can get past the Hawaiian shirts and typical Tommy Bahama decor, step in side for a bite to each and you'll be pleasantly pleased.

  • Al P.

    We went here last week for lunch with the family. The food was excellent. I had the hamburger. It was incredible. The Mango Ice Tea was top notch. I would recommend the crab cake appetizer as well. They are going to remodel the restaurant next month and I will come back next time I am in Maui. Andrew our server was good as well. The only negative here were the high prices. Lunch at Neiman's at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu was cheaper!!!

    We came here for happy hour and were not disappointed. $4 beers are a good deal in wailea. The appetizers were good too...fish tacos amazing. We ordered the tuna tower and ribs for dinner. All were delicious. We'd come here again, but probably just for happy hour.

  • Shannon A.

    I really enjoyed my meal here. The service was good. The overall feeling of the place was comfortable and relaxing. I especially enjoyed my macadamia nut crusted fish and the pineapple creme' brulee. It is located in a shopping center so you don't get any great views or anything like that but if you feel up to shopping afterwards there are plenty of stores to check out after you eat. Definitely worth it to give this place a try.

    My God, this lunch was good. Pricey, but delicious. I had the quesadilla, my husband had a chicken sandwich, and we shared the piña colada cake. Delicious. We're only on Maui for a week, but we'll go at least once more before we leave!

    Ooooooo ahhhhh mmmnnnn are the sounds of my foodgasm over this divine little cafe. What more can you love about it? It's situated on the second floor of a chic and sophisticated small shopping centre in beautiful Wailea, and you're seated outdoors in the warm, golden Hawaiian sun. Ahhhhh. The fresh sea breeze and the spice of sea salt in the air is intoxicating, and the food here? Even more so. I got the Habana Cabana Pork Sandwich. I usually don't go for pulled pork, but just by its description: "slow roasted pulled pork. . .with blackberry brandy bbq sauce" and piled high with shoestring onions that are unbelievably crispy and buttery brown was too good to pass up. Yuuuummm, it was heaven. And near the tables is this fresh seafood bar, with oysters glistening silver in half shells on a bed of sparkling clear ice. I don't eat raw oysters, but I'm sure those who partook in the fare delighted in it. Mmn, the sandwich was sooo good. I wanted another one after I devoured mine. In fact, I think I was slyly rubbing my finger in what was left of the blackberry bbq glaze on my empty plate. . .trying to get every single morsel into my mouth. Yumyuuuuum.

    I think this Tommy Bahama Cafe is the quintessential TB Cafe. The cool ocean breezes blowing, the open, bright interior and patio, the palm trees... You relax just stepping in the restaurant. Their drinks are phenomenal, as is everything else. And then you get the bill, and have a heart attack.

    Food was pretty good, small portion. We went there a few weeks ago. Nothing stood out so I didn't remember much. We ordered their combo dinner because a la cart would be quite pricy.

    We just got back from Maui this week and were very pleased with our dinner out at Tommy Bahama's. Our server was friendly, attentive yet unobtrusive and our food was great. The Mai Tai's were the best we'd had since we got to the island, our food was excellent and they even had live music playing on the deck (but not so loud as to conflict with conversation). Although it was not cheap, it was an excellent value. We'd go again in a minute and suggest that you do too.

  • M M.

    We've eaten at Tommy's all over the place, but this one was exceptionally good. The Prix Fixe menu at $39 is a great deal. The coconut shrimp are the best, and don't forget the butterscotch dessert (it's even better than the pina colada cake). The coconut martini is delicious, but don't even think of driving afterwards...very strong! The staff was helpful, and the manager was very friendly and took time to talk with us about our meal and our vacation in general. Great place...now I just wish it had an ocean view!

    This place only got three stars because the service is terribly slow. Very nice serves just lacked urgency. The bartenders were simply terrible. Were the bartenders sleeping on the job? The food saved this place. The food was great. The only dish sent back was a dried chicken pasta throw together. The chicken was horribly dry and they comped the meal. The seafood is excellent. I had the lemongrass encrusted Ahi which was excellent. Get a side of the wasabi butter to go with the dish. Great dish! Trendy casual atmosphere with a great patio. They had some an acoustic guitarist which was excellent and set the mood.

  • Deb D.

    I am in love with the Tommy Bahama Saba Steak Salad. I'm afraid to try anything else for fear of being disappointed. THIS salad is the best salad on earth - it has a bit of everything in it from the fried shiitake to the grilled potatoes and the dressing is perfect! I only wish they'd hurry up and open up a restaurant in Honolulu so I can enjoy this perfect dish more often!

  • Ron O.

    Was visiting Maui for just 5 days, and ate here our last night. Turned out to be our best meal during our visit. A little on the pricey side, but they just introduced a Prix Fixe menu ($39 for 3 courses) which made it a good value. All 4 in our party went with the Prix Fixe route and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered...Ahi Poke, Coconut Shrimp (REALLY the best on the island), Seared Ahi, Filet Mignon, Sauteed Shrimp & Scallop, Key Lime Pie,...If it weren't for the high prices (typically $25-35 per entree) and lack of ocean views, I would have given this place 5 stars.

  • Christine W.

    We stayed at the Fairmont Kea Lani for our recent trip to Maui in May, 2010. Tommy Bahama's Restaurant & Bar is located in the Shops at Wailea - which is located a short distance from our hotel. We went to Tommy's for dinner one night out of desperation - you'd be surprised at how many poor meals we had during our trip - and we're really pleasantly surprised - so we came back the following night. Food is fresh and served promptly - and our server (especially the first night) went above and beyond the call of duty, even escorting my 4 year old daughter and myself to the washroom because it was so jam-packed at the bar. If you go for happy hour - the drinks and appies are 1/2 price - something we'll be sure to take advantage of on our next trip.

  • B O.

    Love this place. The pulled pork sandwhich is to die for!!! We ate here when we stayed in Wailea once. Nice locale. Not on the beach, but open air, views and fun island-y setting. I'd go back again for sure and I highly recommend it.

  • Opakapaka L.

    Amazing happy hour! The fish tacos were awesome and such a huge portion for $6!! I also really like the sliders! The ahi poke tower and fried goat cheese are a must have. I love the creative cocktail list. The grapefruit basil martini and the blackberry basil ginger rum concoction were my favorites! The entrees looked pretty decent, but the pupus seemed to have more to offer for someone looking for a little more creative flavors.

    saturday the 24th around 4pm... this is only based on service.... we go in there to get something to eat and drink... walk here from the grand wailea resort... my friend is standing by the bar waiting for me with a cup in his hand of watered down ice, while i go to the bathroom... i come out of the bathroom and he says come on we r leaving, we r giong to longhis... as we walk out i say why? he tells me the bartender says he cant have the cup in the restaurant... so my friend says, its ice water... bartender says no, not even water, then goes to the manager, says something... the dip shit manager comes to my friend literally grabs the glass out of his hand... what the hell did they think was in a plastic see thru cup with less than an inch of watered down ice water?? he probably would have tossed it anyway once we sat down, but the way this manager handled the situation, made him lose a customer.. so we went to longhis for the next four days in a row, spending no less than 80 bucks each time we went... good job mr. manager... where did you people learn your people skills??? you are a tourist restaurant... keep up your shitty skills, and word will get around, and then noone will want to eat there.

    WAY too pricey for a simple lunch. I had the ahi/avocado app, which was good, but in my opinion, not worth $20. On top of the decent, over-priced food, you don't get a view!!! you literally stare at the back of a hotel -- no ocean, no beach, no nothing. service was SLOWWWWWWWW

  • Yalda M.

    The Tommy Bahama Cafe looks and feels exactly how you'd imagine the retail stores version of a cafe to be like. And by that I mean the neutral, greens and yellows, the bamboo, the bartenders in their 'aloha' type shirts...you know exactly what I'm referring to. The price tag matches the retail price tags too funny enough. It's placed on the 2nd floor of the Wailea Shopping Center, so you have a pretty casual atmosphere. We sat at the bar with a few friends and had the bartender make us his specialty drinks; the mojitos are delicious and dangerous! Everything was so expensive that we decided to order a few appetizers, which included the over-priced but very yummy quesadilla. There are a ton of other places on the island that you can get just as good, if not way better food at, for an even better price, but if you're looking for the user-experience factor, and by that I mean you're a total tourist, than plop your ass down at the bar and enjoy! :)

  • Levi M.

    We had a large party and Holly H. did a great job of accomodating us. The kitchen was another story though. Apparently, noone told the manager that this place was a restaurant that should serve cooked food to their clientelle. Three steaks were sent back as under cooked, a foolish thing to do and then not take care of the patron. The manager did nothing to take care of the situation. If you go here ask to sit with Holly H. and make sure that if you do order a steak that they cook it enough.

  • Hey La P.

    I'd have to say that this place was a bit of a disappointment. We had a really sweet, attentive waitress and there was some beautiful live music but the food was really lackluster for the price you paid (have I mentioned that it's in a mall??). Our bill was over $100 and we only got two entrees, a house salad, an iced tea, and a bottle of water. It also didn't help that we were sitting next to one of the most pretentious, ridiculous families I have ever seen. But then again, it was in Wailea. Maybe in a desperate situation I would return here but I will definitely try to go elsewhere next time I'm in the area.

  • c a.

    They charged me $4 for a cup of milk for my 2 year old! I get the whole gouge the tourists thing, but $4 for milk is just tacky. The food is good, but way to expensive even for Maui. I've been several times and I don't consider this our "fancy dinner" place. This is the place we go to when we need a little break from fish and big meals. If you eat there for dinner ask for the lunch menu, the food is better for this type of restaurant and you will save some money.

    (2)

  • Nick P.

    Surprisingly good for a campy chain restaurant. We ate out a lot, all over the island, over the course of two weeks, and this was one of the only places we went to twice. The food and service were consistently good and the prices reasonable. The MaiTais were also surprisingly good, with fresh juice and good balance. I'd recommend the kaluah pork wrap special if they have it.

    I apologize for taking almost 8 months to write this, but its been a long year! Needless to say, I was in Maui for a week in June 2008 and this was an amazing restaurant. We had a huge party and they did an excellent job with our service (minus one waitress who had attitude). I loved all my food, it was super fresh, and great atmosphere!! That, and it was nice and close to our hotel (well, close enough!) I would definitely recommend having some fresh fish of some sort, it was delish!

  • Scott W.

    The food here is not pricey compared to other restaurants in Wailea, if you stick to sandwiches, appetizers, and entree salads, all of which are more than enough food and are very good (I had the chicken sandwich and the ahi poke appetizer - the poke was fantastic). The dinner bill was $120 for four people: two sandwiches, two entree salads, a drink, and a dessert. Opt for a $38 entree though, and you'll overpay. Great live music, lively but not annoying atmosphere. Of all the Wailea restaurants I've been to: Spago, Ko, Longhi's, I prefer Tommy Bahama's so far.

    OMG! Easily said the BEST cheeseburger on Maui, Hawaii, mainland and I am confidant to say THE WHOLE WORLD!! I don't know where Tommy raises his young calves, but god damn. Needless to say the meat is grrrr-eat! Sandwiched between a sliced bun which does not have a drop of grease. This bun is sooooo freshly baked and lacking meat grease you could wring it out like a sponge and not a drip would prevail. Before you get this heavenly sent sandwich, you get to rip into a bread appetizer with pumpkin spice butter. goo-goo-gaga

  • Juan Carlos T.

    3.5 stars rounded up. I didn't know Tommy Bahama serves food? This is surprising, I always thought they sold over-sized shirts. When I got off the plane and was famished from the flight since whatever crap airline I was on didn't serve food. I stopped by here for lunch, when it is really 4:30pm California time. That explains why I'm so hungry. I had some seared rare tuna with organic greens, quite delicious. The food is very good, but since the shops here are all supposed to be high end, I think there was an LV store there, I expected the high prices. It wasn't really that bad, probably what you pay if you go to Santana Row in San Jose, CA, but it's much much nicer. There's a nice balcony outdoor seating area, live music by a guy playing a guitar, and this was all on a Thursday afternoon, very very relaxing.

    This is the place for lunch if you are staying in Wailea. If you are staying anywhere else in Maui be sure not to miss eating at this restaurant! The drinks and food are top notch! Atmosphere and service is first class! We are NEVER disappointed at Tommy Bahama's!

  • Bryan B.

    Maui Revealed puts it well when they describe it as overpaying for good quality, similar to their shirts. However, reading through the menu makes you want to order everything, as everything sounds so good. Same goes for their fun tropical drinks. Everything was very good, especially the coconut fried shrimp that were the size of small child's hand. Their ribs are tasty too, along with the fresh fish entrees and steaks. In general, a good spot.

  • C O.

    My wife and I love the tortilla soup here---if it weren't for that we'd probably not come here as often as we do. We've dined at a few of the Tommy Bahama's around the country and can report they are all fairly similar in service, quality, and decor. The prices in Wailea, however, are attrocious. Everything in Wailea/Kihei is expensive, but the value for what you are getting here is just a little too low. Don't get me wrong---the food is great, the music is fantastic, the drinks are strong, and the service is wonderful. You'd be better off, however, driving out of the resort areas and dining in Kihei or Kahului.

    Not a cheap place to eat or drink. But, the quality is really good. I was extremely suprised when my local friend suggested we go here for dinner. I didn't even know they had restaurants and figured it would be a tourist trap. Its in a mall after all. But a few things made the place stand out: Great bar and bartenders. Incredible selection of rums. Nice strong rum drinks. Great appetizers. The coconut shrimp was by far the best version of this dish I've ever had. Great crab bisque. Really exceptional. Good entres. Pricey, but tasty. Atmosphere is really nice, particularly outside. They had a woman playing guitar and singing as well, and she was actually pretty good! Basically, a good place to hang with some friends or for a romantic dinner.

    By far the best happy hour on the island. Great Highend bar food with some of the best drinks to be found. We went 3 times on our last 9 day trip. And that's about par for our last 4 trips to the island. Need I say more.

    OK, I know the shops at Wailea are supposed to be expensive, but I thought this place was over the top with prices for somewhat mediocre food. Entrees were in the $25-$30+ range. I did enjoy their Blonde beer, however!

    Great place to have a nice meal. The decor, service and food is awesome. They usually have a live performer and they are very good. Make sure you have a reservation and be prepared to enjoy paradise. Its located in a very upscale mall and my experience was just awesome. A must visit if you're in Maui.
