..and this...from another satisfied customer (this was lifted off a review page)......

My husband and I were so excited when they started building this bar! We need a fun place locally that we can walk to in the summer. But, this place has that feel as though somebody had part of a good idea and just couldn't pull it all together. Other than the thatch over the bar, the mural and a pathetic plastic parrot, I don't know what makes this a Tiki bar. There were no fun drinks on the menu, no interesting, let-your-hair-down Caribbean music; in fact, there was nothing that made me feel even remotely tropical, happy, or warm. I felt that I was sitting in a cold, dank, boring bar in a boring suburb with 5 or 6 other hopeful patrons who were probably as disappointed as we were. The whole place was having an identity crisis and seemed uninviting and strange. The food was mediocre - the soup was thin and the "special" firecrackers had little taste other than hot and fried. The salsa almost stood out but it was very lonely. Please, guys: Be a tiki bar or be a comfy neighborhood bar or be a sports bar, but please pick a direction and get a better cook because I was bored and dissatisfied when I left. Hey, here's an idea. Cater from that fabulous Hot Spot hotdog place next door. Their food is limited, but it's perfect. Good luck - I'll try again in a year if you're still there.
