   It’s truly terrible. When the best thing you can say about a meal is that it is filling. Everything was cold, tough, and mostly inedible. After reading the reviews, I was so very excited to try your local hotspot, I never expected to be so disappointed. We ended up leaving and getting food elsewhere.

   My husband and I both ordered the fried chicken. My husband ordered a mix of the chicken breast and dark meat. When he cut into his chicken it was raw. We sent it back and when it was returned it was still raw. The waiter was great and took it off our bill. Additionally, the mashed potatoes and gravy did not taste home made. It had a salty unnatural constancy similar to the canned stuff.

    This is a solid place. Been going for years and it’s always good. The patio is really nice atmospherically and they have plenty of heaters to keep you warm. The salmon bowl with black rice and veggies is my go to. Two of us ordered and and were not diss appointed. The guys had the friend chicken which they devoured. Happy to go here anytime.

    tired and worn out interior vibe and staff - not a single smile to found on anyone the night we visited. didn't seem staff were happy at all, food was over sauced and uninspired (black bean bowl of some sort and a brisket burger) drinks were overly sweet, and why do you need to ruin a margarita by stuffing a tall glass with an orange wedge, lime wedge, and pineapple chunks? oh - just to make the glass look full! duh... had a nice meal and ambiance there in the past but not anymore:/

    One of the best date nights ever! The cocktails were incredible (especially the coconut martini!!) and the pupu platter was fantastic. The outdoor patio was more than warm enough (even in january) with heaters at every table.

    Great brunch on a Saturday at the Tropicale. We were served complimentary warm, housemade coffee cake as we were seated. I ordered a Cobb salad, which was one of the best I've ever had--full of fresh, crunchy produce, delicious roquefort crumbles, and perfectly ripe and unblemished slices of avocado. The roast chicken in the salad was plentiful and tender. I asked for onion, and they added a cupful on the side. The wine (a chardonnay) was also good. The patio is lovely, with lots of greenery, a fountain, and heaters that the staff are quick to turn on if you are chilly. Great, friendly service.

    The restaurant is very nice and our meals and service were wonderful although we were set at a tiny high top table for 2 by the front door next to the piano which is right in the heaviest traffic location in the restaurant. Guests coming and going, waiters going by with food, people carrying stacks of menus, bussers carrying crates of glasses, buckets of ice, etc. We were there to have a romantic dinner for a special occasion and it was anything but that. If we go back we would definitely get a table outside in back which would have been much more quiet.

    Sat in the far corner of patio by a chair storage, staff was in & out carrying chairs & disrupting through entire meal. Felt rushed by waiter to turn the table, food was less that mediocre. Very disappointed with entire night.

    Service was sorta slow. Took a long time for our apps to come out and when they did they were cold. Partly because we were outside and the heater bear us was out of propane for almost 10 minutes and it was very cold.

    I love this restaurant. I’m a local and for the food quality (consistency), service and ambiance just cannot be better. We probably go here every couple of months. Their desserts are delicious and worth every penny! I love that they have a sale coals menu which changes. The chicken parm and pineapple upside down cake were amazing! We sat in Ashley’s section and she is such a wonderful server.

    First visit to La Tropicale and it was everything we wanted! Great atmosphere, friendly people, excellent service from the minute we walked in. Oh, exquisite cocktails crafted Perfectly with the best ingredients and served with exquisite garnishes. Pear martini and ginger martini are seriously great. The mandarin calamari appetizer was outstanding. Two of us had the specials - ricotta ravioli and sausage for one and the chicken Parmesan - sublime. The burger and onion rings were top notch. Husband picked key lime pie and we all indulged - presentation and deliciousness-10 stars
