Finally a top notch experience. I’ve been there many times before with tourists and others but this was a date, a real date. The Mai Tais were delicious as was the poke appetizer. Both the basil chicken and salmon were very good, the portion size generous. The entertainment was old time tiki bar. The service was efficient, professional and friendly. The setting? There’s only one Tonga Room, the one that we old time San Franciscans can appreciate.

Food was excellent. Service could have been faster but I don’t really have complaints since we were taking our time. It’s a bit pricey, but that’s to be expected.

It was a great spot for different breakfasts. The service was supreme and very friendly. One minor problem was that 6 Tables did not have regular coffee. You had to buy a special cup and pay for each cup. It is not a deal breaker but we wont be getting coffee there.
