Tommy Bahama Restaurant | Bar | Store - Palm Desert: Experience Tropical Culinary Delights

One of the best meals I’ve had in Palm desert and I was frequenting the $$$$ so it’s saying something. The burger patty was juicy and melted in my mouth actually so damn good. The bread comes out hot in that mini cast iron skillet and it has a couple delicious spreads to enjoy with it. The place gets packed around lunch time and definitely a little loud inside but good service / vibe over all!

Nice restaurant. However, they do not accept reservations and food preparation is slow so don't expect a fast meal. My steak lacked flavor, but mussel soup, Cesar salad, wagyu beef dip, and Chilean seanass were all delicious.

The experience of eating here didn’t start off well but thankfully ended on a high note. I had high expectations because my family raves about this place, but the experience ended up being a bit of a rollercoaster. We sat outside on the patio, and the couch cushion I was sitting on had food stains and food from previous guests, though the staff did clean it right away. Our goat cheese appetizer took about 45 minutes to come out, and the bread was burnt while the dip wasn’t very good (pictured). Our waiter replaced it, and the second one was much better. Unfortunately, our main dishes also took a long time to arrive and were cold, which was disappointing and did not taste that well. The bar manager, Jack, came to our table, apologized, and comped our entire meal, which we truly appreciated. Our server, Jenny, was also very kind. While the experience had several issues, we were grateful for how management handled the situation.

Banging lunch!!!! Started with the bread pudding soufflé. Then she did the goat cheese dip while I did the chips and guac. I had the blue crab and avocado salad and Wifee had the filet mignon steak salad. Everything was outstanding and Brenda made our experience even better with her pleasant smile and attentive service!

Tommy Bahama never disappoints! Everyone was super friendly from the moment we arrived. We sat on the patio and were served by Bailey — she was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious as always and totally met our expectations. Such a great evening at Tommy Bahama!

Take the escalator to the second floor to enjoy friends and the natural environment of the desert. How fun to celebrate my mother in-laws birthday here. Great food and great service. Love the happy hour menu too.

Tommy Bahama's Palm Desert does not disappoint! Hadn't been here in a while and was wary after a disappointing experience at the PS location. But this time was perfect. Lovely brunch on the patio. The mahi mahi tacos were superb, as was the bananas Foster pancakes. Service was prompt and courteous. Menu and quality are top notch. Great choice for a nice meal while shopping on El Paseo.

They've got great craft cocktails, tasty shareable small plates, and some really good entrees. The Blood Orange Margherita was fantastic, and the Cucumber Smash was refreshing. The 14oz coffee rubbed ribeye was cooked medium rare to order and was accompanied by some of the best mashed potatoes I've had. The winter menu had a macadamia crusted halibut that was so flavorful and meltingly tender. Asparagus was crisp and fresh.
