Small and a bit dark inside, but the vibe is great. Staff are really nice. We went twice. Once for my birthday, and their celebration style is super fun. The food is full of flavor and everything we tried was delicious.
Food was good. Drinks were great, small dining area and waited 1hr be for we sat down. Cute vibe
This was my third visit this month. My out of town guests love it for birthday celebrations. The room comes alive with the volcano. Food is fantastic and the wait staff is attentive. Drinks are innovative
In all honesty, this review is from a visit from a few months ago, but I feel like it still stands. I stopped by here with my friend on a Saturday was seated within ~5 minutes. The Horst and wait staff were super friendly, attentive, and helpful! I don't remember what drinks or dishes I ordered (shrimp rice bowl, poke appetizer?), but both were delicious and well seasoned! The drinks were on the stronger side, but so good! I remember that even with all this, the price was still reasonable. Overall, I had a great time here and loved the food and drinks! I would definitely come back for a happy hour or drink. Service: 5/5 Food/Drinks: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5
Great tiki build in Walnut Creek. When we went they had a Christmas overlay but the details around the bar are amazing. Truly a sign of a great tiki bar when you can't see everything on your first visit. Unique drinks and some staples as well. Great place to hang out!
