    Such a cute place. Very comfortable and fun. The drink menu has a couple drinks for 2 to 4 people to share, non-alcoholic tropical drinks, and a good variety of regular tropical drinks served in various unique glasses. My husband had the Painkiller and was given the option of level 1, 2 or 3 depending upon how much pain you want to kill. I had the Caribbean Welcome which was served in a hollowed out coconut. For brunch, he had the Kalua Scramble and I had Chicken and Waffle. Both dishes were outstanding and we brought home the leftovers and had them for dinner. After brunch we went up to the rooftop to the Cococabana and had another drink. Their food menu was the same as the Tiki Bar, but the drink menu was slightly different. It also was a very fun place to visit and had a great view. I would highly recommend coming here for a little slice of the islands. We will be back.

    The food was great, but they need to work on the order in which the food comes out. Our appetizer and dinner all came at the same time. I get they are new, but this is basic restaurant management. They also have a problem with returning phone calls. I tried to call, left a message, and never heard back. So expect the worst service with good food.

    We’d seen social media posts and figured we would try The Lobby Tiki out. Great experience - great staff, quality food and drinks. To make it even better we stayed the night at the Brick Hotel, couldn’t ask for more.

    The food is good, but the drinks were sub par and the vibe of their outdoor seating is not there. If you can’t get a seat inside, I would recommend going upstairs to the rooftop bar or somewhere else. And don’t order the tequila drink downstairs. It was so watered down and pretty flavorless.
