    Fantastic bar and restaurant leaning strongly into tiki. The uniqueness commences with the speakeasy entrance through a freezer door from the kitchen. Look for the tiki out front to signal the entry. You can google images for the decor but think neon meets Hawaii and Polynesia. The first, and lesser, knock I have is the food portion size. My kids had to have 3 entrees (Korean burrito, nood noodles and the bang bang shrimp) and they still weren’t completely full. I had the same burrito and wasn’t full either. I will say all the entrees were delicious and I would recommend them. The second knock is the music. I wasn’t prepared for the loud club music. I do t need traditional exotica but the music and the volume seemed at odds with the rest of the ambiance. Everything else was great. I tried 2 non traditional but still tiki inspired drinks and enjoyed them both. Our server was great. She was friendly and attentive. All in all, I would definitely recommend The Grass Skirt.

    There was 5 separate tables with children. So expect a loud screaming cry. The service is wonderful/amazing! However, the children are extremely hard to over look.

    Went for my boyfriend’s birthday. We initially got sat right next to the fire and I was burning up!! Luckily they moved us but it took about an hour. Pretty sure in the reservation I specifically said I wanted to be sat inside (unless I clicked the wrong option? It was a lil confusing but I feel like I clicked inside) Nevertheless, we were sat right by the fire. To be fair, I always overheat. The vibes were cool but I was trying to surprise my bf with this speakeasy and as we walked by, you could totally tell there was something there by the loud music. It took away from the secretive vibe imo. Drinks were a bit on the pricier side but that’s to be expected at a place like this. It was an okay time overall!

    Everything was great about this experience with exception to the portions served per entree. We came in for a full dinner (5 hungry guys) and we were all still hungry afterwards.
