My friend had this to say about their experience that she posted on Yelp. We ordered a Tiki Bowl, some of their signature Spinach/Oyster Soup, Beef Skewers, "All In" Fried Rice and Pork Sliders with Onion Rings. The Tiki Bowl was served quickly, maybe too quickly. It was not in the traditional Tiki Bowl, but in a smaller menehune bowl. The rum was evident, but the fruit juices seemed canned with little flavor other than sweet. Next came a bread basket with two pretzel rolls and some lavosh. The four spreads were good, especially the wasabi mayo. Unfortunately the food took a long time coming, so we finished all the breads and they were not refilled. The host even came around when he noticed that our drink was in the wrong bowl. But instead of putting the half of our drink that we had not finished in the new Tiki Bowl, he whisked it away and left us the Tiki Bowl half full of a glacier of ice and maybe a tablespoon of rum. We did not order another drink. The appetizers we had were delicious, the beef tender and the soup succulent. Too bad my poor husband had to eat the soup with a teaspoon. My fried rice was the best I've ever eaten. I'm glad that I had enough to share with my husband, because his pork sliders were very tasty, but rather small for a main course. He finished his meal with a coffee creme brulee served in a huge coffee cup. I was also brought one, though I didn't order it and don't like anything coffee flavored. Would we go back. Maybe. I loved that Fried Rice, but from now on I'll stick to call liquor. |
