The atmosphere there was great! The place wasn't very busy so the employees let us walk around and find ourselves a table, and even let us go outside despite it being rainy. The rest of my party didn't get there until a lot later and our waitress didn't seem to mind at all. I eventually ordered and had the steak salad. It was good, but not seasoned like the other steak salad I've had. I definitely recommend the fries.

My review is based on two dining experiences. They have excellent food and excellent service. I’m sure their are times they are slammed when it’s not as quick as some would like but you have to be a bit empathetic to certain situations given the circumstances. This place has great ambiance and draw of feeling like a tiki-like experience on the back patio but I think they do a good job with the props, lighting and music to create the aura. Props to Mary who makes a mean taco salad and has a great personality and eclectic sense of taste and style...we were pleased with her service and conversation. Will return time and time again

We had 8 outside on the immense patio with comfy seating and just a nice atmosphere. Many got the lobster special, Wednesdays, 2 tails for & 18. Fresh cut fries had a tangy subtle peppery flavor that makes you want more. Server was excellent, attentive and friendly. Our second time back in 2 weeks.

The spacious outdoor patio, adorned with tiki-inspired décor and complimented by island music, transforms dining into a mini-vacation, as one guest described it, a “4 hour vacation” filled with tropical drinks and great food.

The menu shines with a blend of fresh and indulgent dishes. The Bake Crab stands out as a savory highlight, rich with flavor yet balanced, while the Coconut Shrimp Basket delivers a crisp, golden crunch paired with subtle tropical notes.

The Chicken Alfredo offers comfort in every bite with a creamy sauce that soothes the palate without overpowering.

Sweet endings here are far from ordinary. The Chocolate Cake and Wiggling Whiskey Cake provide decadence layered with unique textures and flavors, echoing the restaurant’s flair for creativity. The Malibu Coconut cocktail and the delicate Tarte Tatin add to the sensory experience, inviting patrons to savor both taste and atmosphere.
