The Mrs and I went here on Friday night. They open at 4pm, and supposedly have a dress code. We didn't have any food. The drinks were okay, pretty strong, but the mai tai was not the best I've had. Tasted like pineapple juice. You can buy a tiki mug, and they'll serve any drink in it. If I remember correctly, the tab for one mai tai, tiki mug, and a rum and coke was between $20 and $30. There was a two-man band playing island music on Friday night, with songs like "Little Grass Shack". Not bad. Unfortunately, the music was so loud, you have to shout to be heard, regardless of where you're at. The place could have been better if the music wasn't so loud, and if it hadn't been so cold that night. There was a pretty good breeze, and being right on the harbor, it got pretty cold. Even with the heaters, it was too cold for the Mrs. There are no windows, or walls separating the dining room from the patio, so the cold kind of gets everywhere. Probably not the best place I've ever been, but if you're at the aquarium or something, might be worth a visit.
