We had an incredible 2 meals at Grapefruit Basil! Dinner was delicious, homemade focaccia, burrata toast, brussels and to die for scallop carbonara! Our cocktails were also fantastic! One of my favorite dinners in a long time. Also the outdoor dining area is so cute, it's lit up with tree lights and there's live music. It's so relaxing! Our server Josie was delightful and was able to make some great recommendations! We also had brunch as well since we were staying at the resort and it was great! Brunch on the patio is dog friendly so our pup could join us. Food was delicious and coffee was good! Highly recommend this restaurant! We really enjoyed our stay at Tommy Bahama and our meals at Grapefruit Basil! Thanks so much for the great hospitality:)

A beautiful restaurant with delicious food! Sat outside and although it was a little chilly, they had heaters at each table. Service was great-It seemed a little slow, but only because the place was packed. Honestly, 1 star off because there wasn't a bread basket and the 1 slice of bread that came with my meal wasn't enough.

Service ambience and food was all very excellent. We ate inside, which was lovely as the doors open to the beautiful outside that has lanterns everywhere and fire pits - beautiful live music was playing outside and overall it was a very delightful evening. Great service delicious food.

This place is amazing! The ambiance is relaxing and comforting. The food (we had the Ham Eggs Benedict and Crab Benedict- Simply put PHENOMENAL! The below three employees here went and got above and beyond. Our server Wendy (professional and courteous). She knows the menu inside and out and she did everything with a SMILE. Chef Mat we had the pleasure meeting. We had a small situation to which he was extremely professional and attentive to the situation. Not to mention he and his team need the upmost applaud for their food and presentation. And SMILED the entire time. General Manager Javier ensured that our time eating here was with strict professionalism and care. With a SMILED. Hopefully you see a commonality here - ALL SMILES, GREAT FOOD AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Have had breakfast at this place twice. Very scenic spot with great mountain and pool views. Big olive trees provide planets of shade for sitting outside getting fresh air. The breakfast is good. Have had the pancakes and French toast and liked both. Great friendly service.

The food and service was exceptional here! I came here to celebrate me and my boyfriend's 1 year anniversary and they hooked us up with free desert and a crab cake! Additionally, the manager (Javier) and the chef (Matt) had treated us like family. The steak was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth (we did medium rare), the mashed potato with it was a little bland. The Mary's chicken was tender and had this nice citrus sauce with it. My favorite dish was the tuna poke with tortilla chips! Overall great food, great people, and the noise level wasn't too high and the space provided romantic lighting.

Back in town for a 2 week stay and was so excited to stop into the new Tommy Bahama resort! We love the restaurant in El Paseo. We arrived for dinner and walked around the lobby bar area and outside. When it isn't terribly hot they have a lovely patio area to enjoy with fire pits, outdoor couches, tables and chairs. A bocce ball court which kept my son entertained while we enjoyed a drink! The decor is fun throughout the lobby, bar and restaurant. The restaurant was quiet and I was a little nervous about our 2 year old. We were the youngest folks apart from our servers. Anyways, we ordered drinks, they were really kind and cute with our son. Cocktail list if better and more unique than the wine list. We had to dine a bit quickly given an antsy kid but we enjoyed salads and a halibut dish. Food was good but lacked a wow factor, especially for the price. And everything was a bit under seasoned and spiced for my liking. My husband and I actually thought the kids chicken fingers and ranch sauce was better than the fish. Service was amazing! Young staff who were really attentive and welcoming. I always appreciate a restaurant and staff who are patient with dining parents and kids. I don't think we caused too much of a stir but this was an older crowd around 6pm on a weekday. Our server Pharoh was excellent from beginning to end. He could see we were trying to make a swift exit and kindly took care of our check and to go boxes very quickly and kindly. I'd love to see a more central theme to the menu here. Otherwise it just feels like trying to create an elevated experience to the casual TB spots but the food really isn't different but is more expensive. I'll be back though! I can't wait to enjoy drinks on the patio!
