| - Tiki bars evoke dated kitsch, but this Old Town Scottsdale establishment is anything but. In addition to the cool, modern ambiance, the menu offers a plethora of Hawaiian-inspired dishes with a focus on fish. A ceviche starter, for instance, delivered fresh-tasting whitefish with a pleasant citrus tang. For the land lubbers among ye, the pork dishes are also well-executed. The jerk pork is a departure from the classic Caribbean preparation (it's a bit sweeter) but no less tasty, and purists can still rejoice at the presence of plantains.
Pricing here is reasonable (entrees in the teens), the menu is sufficiently varied, service is friendly and prompt, but there is one significant drawback: the music can be ear-splittingly loud. Catch a break in between songs, however, and you can enjoy a flavorful meal.
