Many guests praise the expertly crafted cocktails and flavorful, well-presented food, highlighting the sushi and appetizers as excellent choices for a night out.

C'est vraimennnt beau, très instagramable, cool vibe, très festif. Si vous voulez vous parler à table, c'est pas la bonne place. La musique est vraiment forte. Nourriture trop cher pour ce que c'était. Saumon grillé sec & triste. Service plutôt boff, très lent.

Excellent experience. We came to Mona Loa to celebrate a birthday & the staff went above & beyond to make our day special. We were seated on the lower level lounge, immediately immersed in the club-in-a-volcano vibe.

As this was a pregame spot for us, we didn't get a chance to try the food, but we did give a proper run through the drink menu, & we all left thoroughly impressed. The drinks were expertly crafted & delicious. Strong enough to feel good, but well balanced & in line with the tropical theme.

Great atmosphere, killer drinks, & hyper attentive service. I want to give a special shout-out to our server & management, especially Charly & Nish (please forgive me if I misspelled your names - just wanted to thank you for your hospitality & recommendations).

Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.

Great vibes, good service, good drinks, upper tier prices however. If you're okay spending approx $22 a drink, the theme is very unique 👍

Absolutely amazing experience here! The vibes are insanely cool & the drinks are expertly crafted. Simon was an amazingly attentive bartender & so sweet! Gave me extra olives when I finished my dirty martini without me even asking! Would come here 10/10 times for a girls night or a date!
