Our Signature dishes include our Dr. Funk Burger and Hawaiian Ribs.We are located near O'Flaherty's Irish Pub and the Old Spaghetti Factory in the heart of downtown San Jose.Trader Vic and Donn Beach invented the tiki motif at their California restaurants of the 1930s that would entice generations for nearly a century. Our eclectic décor, too, draws influence from both Trader Vic and Donn Beach. Both Trader Vic and Donn Beach sought not to create a fantasy world that was hinged on any single location; but rather one that encompassed the concept of escapism by incorporating and embracing elements from the Caribbean, to the South Pacific, China, Singapore and beyond!In doing so, they created a backdrop that was thrilling, fascinating and alluring—one we wish to pay homage to.

    Good was good, service was very good but it was very noisy. Tables are fairly close together in one big room. Seemed like a tight arrangement. In addition the parking is awful. No parking on street or garage. We had to park blocks away and walk to and back in the rain

    Upon arriving to the restaurant, we noticed right anway the cosmetics of the restaurant were amazing! The atmosphere was very pleasant as well. I am not sure if the restaurant was short staffed but it did take a while for our server to arrive after seating us. Even after our whole party of 12 arrived. Nonetheless our waitress was very nice. I ordered the enchiladas and I must say they were pretty good. We also ordered 2 pitchers of margaritas. The cucumber and the guava. My favorite was the cucumber margarita. So refreshing and a must try. After dinner we went on a stroll around the area and it is centrally located and surrounded by super up beat bars and more small restaurants. We had such a blast.
