Forbidden Island far exceeded my expectations. The mixology was perfect, the music and ambiance were perfect, and what other bar has such an eloquent bloviator as Will the Thrill as their door guy?? I'm not saying this stuff because of how welcoming, Michael and his staff were with the Hula Girls, but because the place really is amazing! I had a traditional mai tai, a Forbidden Island signature drink, a jet pilot and tasted a suffering bastard. They were ALL so delicious and so well balanced. I HAVE to go back and sample some of the other drinks that I missed... Next trip to SF with include Smuggler's Cove. I've heard too many good things about that place too. But for now, Forbidden Island is at the top of my list.
