Always delicious & entertaining! I love a Saturday afternoon at Tommy's. The vibe is a little bit of everyone, doing everything. You have the holiday shoppers, to the tourists catcthing their breaths, and some locals just hanging out with friends! All with great, fresh food & drinks. The service was attentive yet not pushing & we lingered. We got great recommendations & the opportunity to taste our next new favorites with the coconut shrimp, roasted brussel sprouts, mahi tacos, crispy chicken sandwich with super crisp fries & non stop coconut cloud martinis! What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon in NYC! And please save room for that pina colada cake & the key lime pie!!! It will make your whole day better!
