"Great place to have a small plate dinner. It's like going to the Tikki room at Disneyland. Great views. Valet service is excellent. Pull up at the front door, give them your keys, come out after dinner, give them 5 bucks, get in your car and drive away. Call drinks are a little expensive. Service was good, but a little slow."

"For the first time, we had to wait 10-15 minute for a server. Also, the menu has changed and the portions smaller. It it wasn't for the delicious MaiTais, we probably would stop going."

"MAI TAI HEAVEN
Still the best Mai Tai's and other Polynesian drinks outside of Hawaii. Great atmosphere, food choices and service. Been there many times and it's always consistently outstanding."
