We went this past week to Tommy's for the first time and had a great experience. Our server Halley was wonderful! She recommended the Scallop Orleans and it was absolutely delicious. Good portions and great quality of food. We will definitely be returning!!

Three of us were dining and we all had the same outstanding experience! We started with the Drunken Shrimp and cocktails on the Happy Hour menu and it definitely set the tone for the amazing food to come! Service was attentive, restaurant is beautiful and the menu is quite extensive. Between the three of us we also had the Oysters Rockefeller, Broiled Seafood Platter, Stuffed Shrimp and Blackened Rockfish. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious! What the seafood platter lacked in presentation it made up for in flavor and technique! Definitely will return and highly recommend, it's the perfect restaurant for a date night or celebration!

Our Anniversary Date. Houston Restaurant Week and it was fabulous. From the receptionist who's name I did not catch to our waiter Paul this was a great experience. The food was excellent. One of the best Lemon drops I have ever had. If you haven't tried it do so.

Came here for a lunch meeting with some co-workers for the very first time, and I loved it! Stephanie did a great job serving us and made sure we had plenty of refills, and checked on us plenty of times. The food was delicious, and those were probably the best fried oysters I've ever had. I can't wait to return here and bring my hubby here so he can try it, too!

Update 4-25, new happy hour menu some changes in prices and options and some things same price and option. Went for my birthday. We had a lemon drop martini, the famous and delicious Cosmo, the Tomatoes with Shrimp Creole, the Voodoo shrimp, side salad, creme brûlée. Still phenomenal food and service. Every drink and every bit e was amazing. Such a classy place to enjoy a fantastic meal. First of all, a very friendly and welcoming restaurant. We sat at a high top in the bar area. A sweet waitress waited on us and she was a drink master, she made my cosmos so yummy. The food is DELICIOUS, amazing flavors and high quality ingredients. The fresh baked bread is so soft and yummy and oil is the best I’ve ever had anywhere. We will be back! We’ve been here so many times now, I just add new photos to the review if it’s something new we ate and I remember. The friendly welcoming staff has held true every visit. The manager is amazing and friendly, always checks on all us customers. The wait staff have a dress code and it really elevates the experience. We are usually here early so never have an issue getting a table but we brought friends here for Happy Hour recently who wanted to try it after hearing us talk about it and we found out you need a reservation on a Friday night. Tommy’s was packed, and rightly so! We got lucky and got a table that night so our friends could try it, but did have to wait a bit for it. They had open tables but not enough wait staff. We ate here for Houston restaurant week and the food was amazing, that was the first time I tried the crème brûlée and Tommy’s is the best I’ve ever had, so creamy, not overly sweet, and the shell is crunchy. We got some different plates last time that were amazing, seafood cooked to perfection and seasoned deliciously. I got the broiled seafood and they ask how you’d like it cooked which I’ve never been asked before but really appreciate. They suggest medium but I asked for medium well because I don’t like any wet or squishy seafood, I like mine more done. It was phenomenal.

Stopped by on Mother’s Day weekend without a reservation. The staff worked on a table and got us seated almost immediately. The dining experience was amazing! The food was good and we really enjoyed our time! Our kids waiter, Jerrod, suggested the steak Pittsburgh style when I asked for medium rare. It is known as black and blue and the only way I will be ordering a thin cut steak in the future! Thank you for the experience! We will definitely return!
