   This restaurant is way over priced. The "Flat-Iron Steak" cost the same amount of money that a large Filet would at any 5 Star Steakhouse. We were interested in ordering Dessert but the slice of "Chocolate Cake" on the menu is $25.00!!! This was a one-and-done.

   The food was actually great and we all enjoyed our meals. However, the specialty cocktails leave a lot to be desired. We tried 3 of them and found them all to be underwhelming. Next time we’re going to stick to traditional cocktails and see if we fare better. The ambience is amazing and service was excellent.

   Those who ordered the fried chicken loved it. Don’t order the pizza, it was not good. The dessert and the service were exceptional.

   Lovely feel to this nod to the 50,s / 60,s restaurant / club. The cocktails were weak and thus overpriced, but, the food was great. We (me & wife) came here in 2019, pre pandemic, and we had same or similar dishes and they were equally good this time, big shrimp (prawns if you are from the UK), and good quality chicken & beef. Really enjoyed the experience.

   Our server, Josh was outstanding! Friendly and very attentive. You need to add the Moroccan chicken special to your regular menu! 3 of us ordered it and we couldn’t believe how good it was! I’d come back for that every time!

    If Tropicale is so "proud to provide health insurance for its employees" then maybe they shouldn't be adding a "Emp. Health Ins" surcharge onto customer bills. I find it quite rude when a business owner chooses to do that. I as the customer shouldn't be guilted into subsidizing medical insurance for employees. In reality this is the perfect example of why we need single payer insurance. Why should an employee be at the mercy of their employer to be generous enough to offer health insurance?!? If you REALLY need to pass along that expense to your customers, for a benefit that "Tropicale is proud to provide" then maybe just increase your prices by that amount instead. The optics of a slight price increase to cover increased costs is better than a separate line item surcharge for a benefit "proudly" provided by the company.

    Had a wonderful small plates dining experience. We had the Pupu Platter, which was a meal for two, and spectacular Tangerine-Glazed Mandarin Calamari -- not your normal fried calamari, but tender sautéed pieces with green and red peppers -- Outstanding. It is an energetic place with great music in background -- not so loud that your couldn't enjoy your conversation in the dining room.

    Tropicale was excellent as always. Food was totally on point, everything delicious, and our server did a fabulous job. We had a bit of an emergency come up during dinner and they were great about helping us close out quickly. The only thing that could have been better is that we were on the patio and even with the misters, it was 97 degrees and stiflingly hot at times at our table. Of course it's July in the desert, so shame on us for not booking an indoor table!

    The best for a comparably good price, really. Tues in July was packed because this place is very popular, and loud. The patio was a bit quieter, actually, but hotter, too. Making a reservation, arriving early, gave a choice of two seating areas (we chose the most private) and attentive service. The food was surprisingly complex, layered, brave and expertly prepared -- the Italian wedge salad was a refined experience! Very good food with a tight menu (good seafood choices, particularly).

    We’re told we would get a table across from the bar, then we’re given a table near the door, with the comment that the other table was reserved. Apparently, the other reservation was more important than ours. Then waited over 30 minutes for service.

    I took a friend for dinner; as usual, the service and food were excellent. Many options are offered on the menu from appetizers to entrees or a delicious pizza menu and generous size Ceasar salads with grilled salmon or chicken. A truly original restaurant with a nice dimly lit dining room with a great ambiance, or a covered cooled patio area that is just as nice as the interior. I have been eating here since they opened years ago and have never had a bad meal. My guests always appreciate the uniqueness of the dining experience.
