    1st time visiting and we came by word of mouth. So many things to talk about but I’ll go top three: Food tasted good and felt like the price was reasonable. The drinks tasted good with the right alcohol content. The attention to detail on plating the food and the use of fruit to decorate the drinks made me feel they have pride in what they serve. Finally, get the Dole Whip…we’ve been to the plantation and know what it’s supposed to taste like and this is it! We love soft serve and it was real good. Yes, we will be back!

    We did the Sippin Santa event here and it was a 1000/10 experience. The decor, the drinks, the ambiance all absolute perfection wouldn't change a thing. Our server was also very attentive which we appreciated. Not too much in the way of veg/vegan food but we made do. We'd go again and again.
