Tom took to his Instagram Story on his birthday where he revealed that he spent the morning dining al fresco at the Santa Monica restaurant, Élephante, with his girlfriend Sophia Skoro. Sophia looked so happy to be spending Tom's big day with him while she wore oversized sunglasses, a navy blue hoodie, and smiled for the camera.
"Thank you for the birthday love," he wrote over the photo and tagged the restaurant.
This wasn't Tom's only plan for his birthday. The Schwartz & Sandy's co-owner took to Instagram last week, where he revealed that he was having an early "birthday bash" at Schwartz & Sandy's on October 12. "My actual bday is on the 16th but I won't be here that day, so gonna celebrate like it's 1999," he captioned an old photo of him with frosted tips.
Between dining out on his big day and spending time at Schwartz & Sandy's, it seems like Tom had an ideal birthday celebration. How could he not?!

Details on Tom Schwartz and Jax Taylor's Friendship Today
Jax has recently stated time and time again that Tom is his best friend — and he didn't just say this in his birthday tribute. During an October 14 episode of the So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey podcast, Jax revealed that both Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval are his best friends.
"[He] and Tom Schwartz are my best friends and I love them to death," Jax proudly proclaimed.
It certainly helps that both Jax and Tom Schwartz live in the same neighborhood, and have townhouses that are practically next door to one another. "I have a couple other buddies that live down the street," Jax explained during a September 13 episode of his podcast, When Reality Hits. "I know everyone's thinking like, 'Oh my gosh, they're just going to [have] a crazy, party life,' [but] that's not true. We're all older now. We have different ideas in life. And I think we have a good support system here, and I really like it."
