What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the inventive cocktails—especially the rum-heavy classics served in tiki mugs—and the fusion dishes like pork adobo tacos and spicy lumpia. Guests rave about the friendly staff, upbeat energy, and the outdoor patio as a bonus on warmer nights. The vibe is frequently described as “fun, funky, and chill.”

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the space can get a bit tight during peak hours, and the tiki theme may not be everyone’s cup of rum. If you're looking for a quiet dinner, this probably isn't your spot—but that's all part of the charm for pre-show energy.
