I'd heard about the Tonga Room for ages, but had never been. We went there before a show at the Masonic Auditorium. Great food, great service and great ambiance. Love the pool that serves as a Polynesian Lagoon, and the intermittent "rain storms." Food prices were similar to others in San Francisco these days -- dinner entrees from $28 to $44 dollars. Good variety of appetizers. Service was quick. Drinks were festive and fun. Would go again. It is a fun place! It's best if you can make a reservation.

Food was good. Service wasn’t the greatest. Server took 15 mins to take our drink order, then about another 15-20 mins to come back and take our food order after dropping off drinks. Band was great! Probably would not go again but it was a decent 1st experience.

The atmosphere is great and band is a blast. The food is terrible and super overpriced. We’ve been a few times now and always have dinner. And immediately regret it. Recommend go for an overpriced drink and pay the $15 pp to see the band. Eat anywhere else in town.

Menu is very limited and very expensive for what you’re getting. You’re definitely paying for the atmosphere which is tiki kitschy and fun though we had to ask them to “make it rain”

Great dinner experience, from the band in the boat in the water to the thunderstorms and rain. The drinks are delicious and strong, plenty of alcohol added. The food was great and overall excellent dinner experience. A little pricey, but worth it for the experience
