It looks like the old Paper Plane with a new coat of paint and some Hawaiian themed décor. We had a Zombie, Mai Tai, Planter's Punch, and Queen's Park Swizzle. The Zombie was OK. Mai Tai was missing something, it wasn't sweet enough and the Orgeat didn't ring through. Planter's Punch, not sure if it was the bitters or some liquor but something over powered the drink. The swizzle was OK. Staff was in Hawaiian shirts. Had the coconut shrimp. They were OK, nothing to complain about. Music was not what it should have been. All-in-all it felt like a couple hipsters said let's make a Tiki bar without ever visiting one. This sounds like the same problems the ill-fated Tiki Hideaway in Charlotte had. It lasted less than a year. Let's hope this one gets better and lasts longer.
