CHARLOTTE IS LUCKY TO HAVE THIS PLACE.
My husband and I have made it our mission to visit every tiki bar/restaurant in the South and I can honestly say this place exceeded our expectations: the decor is awesome, exciting and visionary. The drinks are potent, unusual and a lot of fun. And the food is even better than at Trader Vic's in Atlanta! Delicious! And we were so impressed with the attention to detail. The owners clearly love the place and want you to love it too.
My only tiny wish is that the (very nice and professional) waiters wore traditional tiki shirts or Hawaiian maxi dresses, instead of the usual head-to-toe black, to complete the vibe.
It's a three hour drive for us to get back to the Tiki Hideaway but we're already planning our next trip to this little gem.
