Putting me in a mood more conducive to spending three figures on a Hawaiian shirt I’ll probably never wear was Chris, our waiter, who took the good-natured, rowdy verbal jabs of a particularly drunk table with aplomb and offered to split a shared plate between my date and me at no extra charge. Even if the food I sampled is not yet up to Laguna Beach standards, his is the kind of service that is. I dared not tell him that I thought the banana-cream pie he suggested for dessert had a stale crust akin to shoe leather or hardened Play-Doh. I bet Tommy Bahama wouldn’t, either. He’s that kind of guy.

I was surprised at the excellent quality of the food. You can try them out at their Newport location during Restaurant Week to save a few bucks and get a nice sampling.
"a Jimmy Buffett of the corporate world"
In case you were not paying attention, with his own Margarita-ville clothing and restaurants, Land Shark beer, etc. Jimmy Buffet went corporate years ago. Still a fun concert, but he is in it for the money. Not a judgment, an observation.
I think it's a great use of the location, but as a (former) local, I can't imagine picking Tommy Bahama as my go-to spot for a nice dinner.
