Wowwww what can I say ! The cocktails were phenomenal & very creative. The staff were super friendly & presented the cocktails like it was magic. The experience was really impressive. They also put my group on the guest list of La Voute for the end of the night so they went above & beyond !!

My cousins said it's a nice place to go. But the girl behind the bar sat around giving dirty looks. The drinks were just okay & the waiter could have been friendlier.

Meh. Nothing to write home about. Not a great tiki wonder. Not on my top anything list. Kind of a sleazy lounge atmosphere meets the Jetsons. Not for me but there were plenty of people here so it's someone's thing.
