At first glance, most visitors are surprised to see that Tommy Bahama’s serves food as well as luxury garments. How good can the food be from a company famous for its retail store? Having run their restaurants for as long a duration as they have their clothing line, Tommy Bahama’s has secured its place as one of Maui’s finest restaurants.

The Tommy Bahama bar is superb. All of the cocktails on their signature drink list are delicious. The staff is fun, and they’re helpful in honestly directing you to the best dishes on the menu. The menu consists of island-inspired cuisine. Obviously, prices are high, but well worth it.

Like many of the better restaurants in Maui, Tommy Bahama has lost its ocean view due to condominium development. Sunsets are still good and ocean breezes are consistent, but the ocean view can only be seen from the parking lot.

Don’t forget to try their fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs and their Baja Margarita at the tropical bar. Ask for Tim as your bartender and Dave E. as your server.  Great people!
