Customer Reviews
This is a relatively new spot, and a pretty awesome tiki experience. It’s Beautiful build, and the interior is stunning to the eye. A mixologists approach to the cocktail is taken as fresh ingredients are prepared in-house. The drinks are well balanced and flavorful as a result. Traditional tiki drinks are offered as well as original offerings. Beer and wine is offered as well. Food offerings are dinner size portions, so I suggest staying for dinner as the cuisine is delicious and pair well with the cocktails. Definitely look into reservations, especially going into the weekends. Parking in the area can be a bit difficult, but don't let this deter you. So, plan extra arrival time to find that space. If you're in the mood for good customer service, accompanied with delicious cuisine and coc
First time here, I do love a good tiki bar. This place by the pier is very nice decor very on point., very tropical. Its a busy restaurant but if you dont have reservations the outside area is just as lovely. Now for the drinks, I had their Lapu Lapu , ..maybe an off night. Usually its a fruity drink with rum but not very spirit forward such as the navy grog or zombie. I was not happy. Bartender offered to change it but like asking her what I wanted,.it was more of different drinks instead of making what I specifically stated. Something more not spirit forward but not as fruity, if that makes sense? A balance of tasting the rum yet not just having that single note flavor in a drink.. Anyways A for effort, nice of the female Bartender not charge me for the drink... I left after finishing
They lose me on value for the $ spent. My bill was $88 including tip and I had one main, one drink, and dessert. The portion of black miso cod was the biggest offender, it tasted phenomenal, that was not the issue. My drink was strong and well balanced. The Basked Alaska dessert was the best thing I had.
Food was great, had the Chicken Karaage, Pule Steak, and Baked Alaska. The food was all cooked perfectly and I left wanting to try more items. Drinks were strong, but not overly so. Great selection and flavors. I do wish they had more smokey flavor variety’s though. Everything was well balanced with alcohol and flavor and nothing I tried was overly sweet. Atmosphere was great and feels like a modern/post modern feel with great lighting and a killer mood. Overall place was excellent, especially considering they’ve only been open a few weeks.My bar tender was Dan, who did a killer job. I know there are a few bad reviews, but honestly I didn’t experience any of the problems those listed. Do your self a favor though, get a reservation to make things smooth! I like to frequent Strong Water
Nothing but 5 stars! This spot has transformed beautifully over the years — it used to be BrewCo and before that, Mediterraneo — but now it’s Tiki Kai and wow, they absolutely nailed it. 🌺 The service was incredible from start to finish. The GM even came out personally to introduce herself and make sure everyone was having a great time and enjoying the food and drinks — such a nice touch that you rarely see anymore. My friend Cass and I had three of their tiki cocktails, and we were shocked to see that every single one was under $20. They were gorgeous, balanced, and strong (in the best way). 🍹 The food matches the vibe — tropical, Hawaiian, island-inspired, and full of flavor. Every bite felt like a mini getaway. Between the drinks, food, and ocean breeze, it’s the perfect pier spot.
