    We were the only ones in the restaurant. The bartender was super sweet & helpful. Her drinks were top notch. Very good! The food needed major help! My husband said his Loco Moco was just okay. My chilaquiles were not good. It was a bowl of dry chips with haphazard random toppings thrown on top and some green salsa with no flavor. Those were not chilaquiles! I’d suggest having drinks here & eating somewhere else.

    We really enjoyed the lobby bar and Tiki room experience, the food and drinks were great. My hubby had grilled fish tacos and a Cobra Kai and I had the Tiki burger and a Fog Cutter. Super delicious! We also split the Hawaiian donuts for dessert, which were yummy! The only thing disappointing is we booked the patio outside, which was really lacking the cool tiki vibe that was inside the main restaurant, and it still had succulents everywhere, which aren’t tropical, looked like leftover decor from the prior restaurant, the succulent cafe. So maybe think about the vibe out there matching inside as you grow the business, because inside is really cool. But we will be back for sure!

    Had an amazing brunch at this tiki bar! The tiki atmosphere was fun and inviting, the food was fresh and flavorful, and the tiki drinks were both delicious and beautifully crafted. Friendly staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a unique and enjoyable brunch!

    What a fantastic concept and venue. Our server (Jeremy) was great, the drinks were pure craft served in appropriate glassware for the type of drink served. We ordered the plantains and guacamole (perfectly seasoned with a little kick), Poke, and the chicken sandwich with kook sauce. Desert was their signature malasadas, an authentic Hawaiian favorite. On the rooftop is the Copacabana very fun atmosphere, funky, vibe, and beautiful view of the sunset. Highly recommend visiting this spot (more than once)

    The drinks and food were great! Nice selections on the menu. Poki bombs are outstanding. Servers and bartender were very attentive. Parking lot across the street. Only a couple of blocks from the beach walk and pier, if you want to take a stroll after your meal.

    My husband and I tried The Lobby Bar last night. We needed some tiki vibes, so we thought we'd give it a try. The drinks were great! Service was great! For food, we ordered the crab rangoon mozzarella sticks, the Cuban sandwich, the tri-tip skewers, and the donuts. The crab rangoon mozzarella sticks, which are fried, tasted okay, but came out ice-cold in the center. The tri-tip skewers came with rice, and both the rice and skewers were room temperature and not even warm. Maybe it's supposed to be served this way? The Cuban was delicious! The donuts were overcooked, but the filling was nice. We were hoping to hear some tiki music while we were there. Unfortunately, it was old 80s music, which we love, but listening to a Hall & Oats song in a tiki bar just didn't give us the vibes we were hoping for.
