We had a group of about 9 people on a Saturday evening around 10:30. We were immediately told that they were "completely full" and there is no way they could get a table to accommodate all of us. We understood and were just going to grab drinks at the bar, when the waitress then said "well we do have a booth, but it'll probably only fit 6-7 people max." We took the booth and were easily able to get all of us with a chair on the side, which the staff did not have any problems with. While the bar was busy, it wasn't super loud and it was easy to hold a conversation at our table. After that, the service was great and the drinks were tasty! The popular drinks at our table were definitely the Water of Life and Mai Thai. The Water of Life tasted like boozy coconut water and was so easy to sip and have more than one - which could be dangerous! It was very light and tasted super good to boot. I would definitely come back to try some of their other drinks if they're as good as the Water of Life was!

I went with a friend. We sat at a booth for 5, and there were only 2 of us. A little awkward. Service was literally ok - you pour your own water, and the waitress comes around whenever she comes around. We ordered food after about 20 minutes of being there, and it took 45 minutes to get to us. I'm talking burger and tenders, nothing fancy. I asked for a medium burger and got a well-done burger. My husband makes better burgers at home. 10 minutes after we started eating our food, it felt the waitress was in a rush to get us out the door. The noise and acoustics aren't great for casual conversation. The food wasn't good, in my opinion. I personally won't be going back. The folks who came in already tipsy seemed to be enjoying themselves, though ?‍?

The service and drinks were EXCELLENT.However, the rice was not the best. I’m a chef so I could taste the sesame oil there was way too much used and there was really no definition to the dish. All I tasted was oil and salt. I would return for the fun drinks though.

I love this place! I have been a loyal patron for years and one of the things I love the most is they’re always adapting and trying out new food items to bring to the celiacs community. The food is flavorful, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere can’t be beat!The foods unique in the fact that everything is 100% certified gluten free. The fact that they take the time to provide exciting and delicious dishes that are safe for everyone sets them apart. I love the fried rice and cheese curds!Couple drinks on the menu I’d suggest to my friends and family are the Pain in the Tiki, Pedro Serrano, and the Wicked Wahini!Keep up the good work!

For the price of the food the quality could be much better. Nothing was seasoned properly. Jerk chicken hoagie was way too salty and no complimenting Flavors, It was just a big mush pile on a hoagie. Crack fries are amazing. The Hawaiian fried rice had no flavor and very oily. Chicken strips app was over cooked/salted. The fish tacos you only get 2 and not worth the price. I understand jerk seasoning is spicy and salty but it was overdone and not flavorful. The brownie dessert was burnt on the bottom and dry on top. They pride on atmosphere and good drinks. I would go here for only drinks again.service was ok. She seemed annoyed with us the whole time because we had a lot of questions and couldn’t figure out what to eat.

This place is so chill. The ribs and fries were so delicious, but the best part were the bartenders. They were AWESOME! Super nice n helpful. I will have 2 come back. It's a really small spot, but worth visiting.

Too expensive to be this bad... had to send my food back because it was ice cold came back kinda warm... my bf couldn't eat his tacos because they were flavorless and dry. They make everything gluten free I guess but my bun was soggy like oatmeal and my fries had the consistency of old McDonald's fries, hard and very thin. Cold inside, perhaps owner is trying to save $ on heat? Waitress was nice, Cute atmosphere and drinks are good but have like 0% alcohol in them def not coming back.

My wife is a celiac so we keep hoping! Stopped in on Wednesday night, half price wing night. The wings are half priced because I think they are literally wings from a sparrow or canary, the smallest wings I have ever seen. Also the wings were so salty they were almost inedible. We give this place a chance every few months and the drinks and service are always good. Jerk chicken tacos were the only good item we had. The food almost always is bad. Time to keep the menu simple and stop trying to be what you aren’t, a restaurant. You are a tiki bar stick to that.Dietary restrictions: Nice that it is gluten free kitchen but could be done so much better.
