    Absolutely amazing! Even without the waves on the window. Which, how can the restaurant control that?! So delicious and elegant. 10/10. Hector was our waiter and he was the absolute best! You can tell the staff works together to provide the best experience for the customers. A highly recommended restaurant.

    This past weekend, my sister and I decided to experience The Grass Skirt during the holiday season. I was so happy. I finally got a chance to experience this bar normally it's hard to get a reservation, but if you decide to go to this place, recommend going right when they open so you can be able to get a walk in timeslot or reserve a time early in the day, they open at 5 PM. The customer service was friendly , great selection of drinks and by far the best Poké I've ever had this will become a tradition for me to come back every year.
