First off I am partial to the Islands and the tiki theme. I get to Hawaii every chance I can and enjoy various tiki events around the country. This place is as good as any on the mainland and could hold it's own in Honolulu. The drinks are refreshing and authentic. The food island inspired and excellent. My recent favorites are the kalua pork sliders when I am just in for a snack and the Big Island Rib when I am serious about eating. They have a very entertaining Hawaiian show on Friday and Saturday which is usually packed and reservations needed (you can sometimes sneak a seat at the bar if you are a last minute person). I enjoy the more mellow weeknights where you can get a Zombie or two and just take in the vibe to get away from the stress of life in the city. Check this place out. You won't be disappointed.
Pros: Great food, drinks, atmosphere, wait staff and vibe.
Cons: It's still freeking cold when you walk outside!
