Naples, Florida 1996 the first Tommy Bahama Restaurant opened and since then 19 more locations have expanded in various states.. The idea for the restaurant arose from the concept "Where would Tommy eat?" The Tommy we are referring to is a fictional character made up by the original owners who vacationed on Florida's Gulf Coast, Tommy was a man whose life was one long weekend. The first retail store opened in Naples in November 1995, and three months later with the additional space available at this location, a restaurant ensued. Tommy would love this menu and the Tropical cuisine along with signature cocktails.

The vision for Tommy Bahama was built by two (2) beach loving couples in 1991 on Florida's Gulf Coast and today every aspect of the business revolves around this fictional character Tommy Bahama, and the obvious questions: "What would Tommy wear" and "What would Tommy eat". I am certain Tommy would enjoy a day at the centrally located NYC location enjoying a glass of Conundrum and Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos.
