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.
