Had a reservation for 7pm, at 8:40pm when we went to order a 3rd drink (every round took about 30min to come out) they told us that there was a 1h45 limit on the tables so we had to go. Decor is cool but very disappointing experience & wouldn't recommend. Service was very slow & poor.

You're really just paying for the vibe here, not the quality or taste of the food.
The music was good & our server was nice, but everything else was disappointing. We had a reservation for 7 people at 9pm, & while eating, the restaurant slowly started letting people in to stand around & drink. It was super uncomfortable having people standing right next to our table while we were trying to have dinner.
On top of that, a lot of items on the menu weren't available, including sushi, which was one of the main reasons we came.
The food we did get was just mid at best, definitely not worth the price.
Great music, but not somewhere I'd come back to eat.

Fun decor, cocktails were alright, very Crescent vibe. Think they could have gone harder with the Hawaiian volcanic theme.

I had a reservation for 10h30,they kept me outside for 45mn.
Once inside I waited for another 20mn before having my 20$ drink that was nasty.
Also very small inside.

Super belle expérience!
J'avais aucune idée où on allait (c'était une surprise de la part de mon amoureux). Quand nous sommes arrivés sur place j'ai été surprise par le lieux & l'ambiance.

Quoi dire du menu ? Il est super pour la thématique de ce resto : Hawaï. Nous avons eu un excellent service de la part de Lisa.

On y retournerait sans hésiter =)
