We were there again this past Sunday to celebrate my birthday, so things are pretty fresh in my mind.

I've enjoyed most of the drinks I've had. The Mai Tai is good, so is the Saturn, Aku Aku, and Swaylo's Punch. We all liked the Volcano bowl this past visit. The Three Dots and a Dash lacks a bit, since I don't believe they use Martinique rum. My brother-in-law did not care for the Zombie, and when I tasted his, it seemed bizarre.

I had the Loco Moco this week, which is part of the special summer menu just launched. It was fine, but I've preferred other items much more, like the Kalua sliders, Hawaiian fried rice, chicken teriyaki sticks, and Spam Musubi. There's quite a bit of seafood, which I don't care for, but I do eat and like the Crab Rangoon. Others have enjoyed the fish tacos and poke rice bowl.

All that to say that I find the food and drink to be tasty and of good quality. As for decor, there are no LeRoy tikis, but there are floats and puffers, matting and bamboo, a few PNG masks and Moai, various framed artwork, and peacock chairs. There is also a touch of nautical, most notibly the ship's hull that separates the bar from the rest of the dining room. But I do believe they know the genre, since the do have Sven's and Swanky's books upon the display case in the entry. So I also appreciate the atmosphere.
