Went specifically for the “Sippin’ Santa” holiday tiki cocktail popup experience. Unfortunately, the cocktails all seemed off. We ordered the Sugar Plum Mai Tai, the Choquito, we wanted the most important cocktail - the Sippin’ Santa - but they were out of it, so we ordered the Jingle Bird. These cocktails were not great and felt like the ingredients listed in the drinks were missing in several instances. Tiki drinks are usually bold and flavorful, these all felt watered down; missing spices, balance, and freshness. The food saved the evening because it was actually quite good.

We visited on Monday, December 9 for my son’s 21st birthday. I wanna say our server’s name was Isaac. I’m not sure I got that right but he was absolutely amazing. We sat at the table right next to the front entrance. He was the best server. We had a great time and we truly appreciated him making it a great night.
