We had a fabulous time. They were able to accommodate my group of nine people in the back room and we all had great drinks, some food and enjoyed the live music. This is a must visit!

Our second time there and it was another enjoyable experience. Drinks were excellent once again. Excited to see they have expanded the building and the decor was fabulous. They have a waterfall now!

Fantastic experience. One of the most comfortable and relaxing tiki bars I've ever been to. Intend to be back regularly. No food really, just light snacks.

We’ve been here 6 times. It’s perfect for a before or after dinner drink. It’s a great place to meet up with friends. Love the ambience. It’s a very cool place and so happy to have it in our town.

Can you set up a helicopter service to take me home so I can drink more drinks when I’m there? Things I’d like to see- featured drinks that rotate. Pearl Divers are a pain to deal with but if they ran for a week I’d be in. Also would be a way to test new drinks. Pictures of the drinks on the menu will help people step outside the box a bit more. But honestly, my request is to keep up the good work. See you in a couple weeks to buy the new mug. Can’t wait! Thank you!

There is really nothing like it around this part of Metro area. The ambiance was worth it and Michael was great as the manager. Drinks are a little pricy but no more so that other cocktail establishments in Brighton and Howell. Service was so-so, we were left unattended for several longer periods of time for drinks and the small plate Palm Platter was overpriced at $20 for chips and some cheese. We thoroughly enjoyed our night at the bar as we have in the past and will go again.

Enjoyed the drinks , ambience, seating and decorations. They definitely have the „experience „ they advertised! I would like to see more snack selection (or food!) , possibly a low sugar drink… and some kind of „flight” with a variety of tastes. Good job! We will be back!
