    A few friends went here for the sippin santa and it was so fun! I have been here before a couple times during the regular season and it was great then too! The food is good, a tiny bit on the high end price wise, but not really out of the ordinary for the area and definitely not the most expensive place. Our server was the best and she gave us handmade magnets at the end. Loved it

    We love Speakeasy's and The Grass Skirt was a lot of fun. Great drinks and the tacos were amazing. Anny (?) , our server was awesome. Totally recommend The Grass Skirt and Captain Quarters next door was awesome as well.

    The food and drinks are very tasty! The bites are small though, definitely more of a late night snack than a meal. If you’re starving I’d probably advise eating first and focusing just on the beverages which were definitely the stars of the show. The ambience of the restaurant is so fun, great for a date or a girls night out!

    Overall, it was a good experience. The only downside was that they didn’t acknowledge my boyfriend’s birthday, despite my note mentioning it. However, the drinks were delicious, the service was good, and we had an awesome time.

    The food quality and value has gone down. I haven't been to the Grass Skirt in over a year, so I brought an out of town guest to experience this fun island inspired Speakeasy. The ambiance and the service was great! However, the food... forget it. We ordered the kalbi tacos. There was 5x more cabbage than meat. They should've called it cabbage tacos. How embarrassing. There were only 6 dice size pieces of meat total within 3 tacos. I laughed about how ridiculous this was. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

    Taylor took great care of our party of 5! Amazing happy hour deals, outstanding cocktails and food. We really dig what SDCM Group is doing these days.
