| - I probably would not o back to this place.
We went here because we had a free drink (up to $9) voucher from the hotel and a buy one get one 1/2 price coupon for dinner. They also have a "free shot" deal if you log onto Four Square.
The Free shot.
They give you a choice of three different of shots. I ordered a Kamikaze and the waitress repeated it as a Lemon Drop and I confirmed Kamikaze. She came back again to ask me what I ordered and I repeated Kamikaze... and I still did not get a Kamikaze.
I ordered the Crab Cake Sandwich and my wife ordered the Chicken Parmesan (for the life of me I could not understand why Chicken Parm would be on a the menu of a Polynesian themed restaurant!)
My sandwich was served on a plate that was HOT! I mean hot like you would expect with an Italian or Mexican dish. It was like just came out of the oven hot which made no sense as there was nothing to be melted on my meal. The hot plate wilted the lettuce before it even got to the table. Crisp lettuce compliments a crab cake sandwich, wilted, warm lettuce really distracts from it.
My wife's chicken parm was nothing to write home about. It tasted like a store bought chicken patty covered with store bought sauce, and topped with a little mozzarella cheese melted at the last minute.
Throughout our time there, our buy one get one free drink voucher sat in plain view on the table, however our waitress NEVER ASKED US what we would like. I actually had to ask her of we could order a drink!
This place has an EXTENSIVE tropical drink menu with not a single price on it. With some research I found that the average drink on that menu is about $18! So your "free" drink will cost you at least $9 if you order off the menu. My wife ordered a Pina Colada and I had a Vodka Gimlet. The gimlet was good but my wife said that the PC, the drink they discounted, was way too sweet and way too weak and she didn't finish it.
After serving our food, our waitress never came back to check on us, NEVER refilled our water and would not even make eye contact with us! I actually had to call her attention to us just to get some water!
This restaurant looks and feels great. The food presentation is very unique with dry ice "smoking" coconuts or volcano's on some dishes. The food itself is ok but certainly not worth the price they charge. It is rather expensive and the service was TERRIBLE! This could be a really cool place if it operated on the premise of serving a quality experience rather than draining your wallet.
Edit:
My wife wanted me to point out that when she ordered the Pina Colada, she ordered it made with Malibu Rum, what she got was the sugary , pre-made cocktails they have in the machines.
Once again the waitress got our order WRONG!
