Wow! This was great. We took advantage of the happy hour, but we also ordered whatever to celebrate. Apps, drinks, a salad, entree, dessert and bread to snack on. The "jealousy" dessert is named because everyone at the table will be filled with jealous when your desserts come out. I'll be back for sure!

Decided to check this place out after the front desk of my hotel recommended it several different times. It's an old school "almost" upscale seafood restaurant that I was afraid would be a Landry's-like experience (lower quality frozen seafood from Sysco poorly prepared and overpriced). However, we were very pleasantly surprised. We ordered a couple different cocktails and they were well made and quite strong. The bread and oil was not good - the bread was cold and soft and the herbed oil was too strong to properly complement the bread. The dozen oysters on the half shell were as good as you can get at this time of the year. The fried green tomatoes were absolutely perfectly cooked and were topped with a surprisingly large amount of very good lump crabmeat (probably the best and largest quantity of legit lump crabmeat I've had in a while). The pecan crusted redfish was skillfully prepared and tasted fresh. My dining companion raved about her stuffed snapper, as well. We both agreed that the side of corn was actually one of the best components of our meal - cut fresh from the cob and seasoned and cooked just right. The green beans were even very good - buttery, fresh, and cooked just right. The meal wasn't cheap at close to $200, but it was worth it, especially compared to some of the other more expensive meals I've had in the area. We will be back.

Well, it’s just okay. Oysters were great and our favorite part of the meal. Bread and oil has a taste I’ve never experienced and I enjoyed it. The crab cakes were more like crab stuffing. There was way more bread than crab, so not your typical crab cake. The entrees were not bad, we just didn’t enjoy the taste very well. Overall it was a trendy atmosphere with nice vibes.

Wife and I celebrated our anniversary here. It was our first time here, we both really enjoyed it. The fried green tomatoes and fish taco appetizers were good. For dinner we had the broiled flounder and seafood pasta pictured. I had never had fish prepared like that, thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheesecake for dessert, very good, not overly sweet. Staff was attentive and polite, we will be going back.

Solid oysters, good steak, perfectly cooked pasta. The service here was attentive and friendly and everything we ate was cooked well and tasted great. Solid seafood choices and the fried platter was not overly breaded or over cooked which is rare for fried seafood. The oyster sampler had some interesting broiled oysters and unique flavors I haven’t had in oysters before.

It was an experience! Darel was the BEST server ever and I would request him every time! Dinner started off with complimentary bread and sauce which was SO good. The sauce reminded me of a chimichurri sauce. The drunken shrimp is a must try and was bursting with flavor! I tried the broiled seafood platter. My favorite was the baked stuffed shrimp with lemon cream and grilled shrimp. The side of carrots was unique and delicious. My husband tried the American red snapper meal. To top everything off we had the vanilla cheesecake with strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries. THE MOST DELECTABLE CHEESECAKE I'VE EVER HAD!!! Made in house and I'd order it every single time ????????

We had a a wonderful meal at Tommy's last night! My family from out of town loved everything. The standouts were the crispy salmon, steak Diane, and the broiled seafood platter.
Sidney did a great job as our server. We'll be back... maybe for dessert since we didn't have room this time!!!

What a fun place! The restaurant design is unique and lovely. I had the Tommy's Trio, three different types of grilled oysters. I can't recall the names of each, but the first had a creamy sauce, then oysters Rockefeller (?), With spinach (one had a piece of sausage!) and something I call nacho oysters. That's right, covered in cheese with peppers and spicy! They were wonderful all!
My wife had grilled red snapper with a pecan crust that was to die for!
For dessert, we had the key lime tower. I have never eaten something so tasty and so fun! Think lime sherbet on lemon gelatin (more firm than pudding, but way more dense than Jell-O). The graham crust was so thick, a passing waiter gave us a steak knife! I think they've had that problem before. No problem, it just added to the fun of the two of us eating this towering frozen lemon lime concoction that tasted heavenly and was so fun to eat. We probably bothered the table next to us, we were laughing so hard.
Through this all, Paul our waiter took really good care of us, offering advice and encouragement to try something new.
The atmosphere was busy and noisy, with a birthday party in the private room, but it didn't bother us, we were enjoying the evening at this fine seafood restaurant.
