walk in through the side entrance, and you feel transported into the tropics. the feel of the restaurant is one of a classy resort.

if you "only" want drinks and appitizers, you must sit in the bar. the lanai tables are saved for those eating dinner

we had yam fries ($5, not on special)

and the tempura sampler (lobster, vegetables, shrimp = $6.00 on Mondays between 5-7 pm)

Happy Hour prices are 3.50 for any specialty drink

Frank-Todd's first words after sipping his Mai Tai "Sugarbomb" the ingredients were right, but the proportions were wrong wrong wrong! over sweet. most likely because the bartenders free pour. he asked the bartender for a recommendation for a tart, not sweet drink.. and got a Lemongrass Colins, which was tasty and not sickenly sweet, but still not quite balanced enough. (my husband will write a more comprehensive drink review, and i'll post it later)

there are many reviews on the internet, most say this place gets very busy ~
