We took advantage of the fun photo op inside and then grabbed some open seats at the wraparound outdoor bar, which was quite comfortable with the overhead space heaters. My friend ordered the Blue Indigo cocktail, and I initially requested the Kiwi Caviar, but since they were out of ingredients for it, I asked for Island Life as a backup. Both drinks were really good. Mine straight up tasted like tropical juice, but my friend's was a bit stronger. We stayed until closing before hopping over to The Bungalow. Would love to come earlier next time for happy hour and to watch the sunset.

We came in around 9:30 and they close at 10, but the door was already locked. We knocked and they…read moreeventually let us in, but right away it felt like we were bothering them just by being there. The bartender was honestly pretty rude. I ordered a Pink Flamingo and he made a comment like "no good deed goes unpunished," basically because they had opened the door for us. Then I asked if the drink had mezcal in it and he responded, "Unfortunately." It was just a really weird and uncomfortable experience. We weren't trying to hang around past closing either. My brother-in-law and I actually finished our drinks before everyone else and left. I understand wanting to wrap things up at the end of the night, but if you close at 10, customers coming in at 9:30 shouldn't be treated like they're doing something wrong. The service and attitude were just completely unnecessary and honestly pretty unacceptable.

Another ordered the bone-in rib eye medium and it also came out well. That same person ordered a hot fudge Sunday for dessert and they brought the Sunday without hot fudge. By the time we were able to make eye contact with our waiter, it had completely melted. The waiter joked about forgetting the hot fudge and rather than bring a new Sundae, he just brought the fudge. I guess we were just supposed to make a milkshake with it? Doesn't only two issues. We really had the Sunday thing kind of caught me off hard. That's just Customer Service 101. Apologize and make it right. And he charged us for it, even though we didn't eat it because we're not eating melted ice cream with a side of fudge. Everyone else had a wonderful meal. My husband and I had the ribeye and lobster tail and it was a beautiful medium rare. Macaroni and cheese was delicious. Broccolini was perfectly cooked, the wedge salad comes chopped and tossed (I love that) I would've given it five stars except for those three little items. And steak has to be cooked right. You can't send it back because that's just tacky so they were a little bummed out that they didn't get it the way they originally ordered it.

I ordered the "So Much Drama," and my husband had the "Amalfi Coast," which he really enjoyed. We started by sharing a wedge salad. For our entrées, my husband ordered the pistachio-crusted halibut, and I had the cioppino with linguine. We both really enjoyed the vegetables served with his dish! Unfortunately, my meal was just okay. The broth was a bit bland and lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Our server, Luke, was attentive and provided great service throughout the evening, which we appreciated. Overall, the views are stunning, the atmosphere is lovely, and the service was good, but the food didn't quite live up to our expectations. While we enjoyed our evening together, we likely won't be returning.

The place looks incredible. The Christmas decor is done so well, way better than the regular Graceland vibe if I'm being honest. They even had a piano with a live singer, and he was so good. It gave the whole place this warm, slightly magical Michael Buble energy. The new drink menu is gorgeous with actual photos and the cocktails were all really well made. Will was our bartender and he was great. He and the waitresses checked on us the whole time without hovering, which I appreciated. Easy spot to settle into for another round and stretch the night a little longer. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in HB.

You will have to go through the main tikibar (Stowaway) and walk to a side door in the back. The theme is along the lines of Pinocchio. After you enter the side door, you will be transported and see a story book. You will walk through a whale's mouth to get to your booth. There is so much to look at all around so take your time admiring the decor while you drink. The tiki drinks are different from Stowaway and are delicious! It's definitely more intimate so you can talk to the bartenders. Though since it's all booths, you won't really see them make the drinks. Overall, fun spot - intimate if you want the tiki vibes in a quieter location

The Belly of the Beast - Pinocchio Speakeasy at Stowaway Tiki Bar, Tustin…read more The Belly of the Beast is a Pinocchio-themed speakeasy tucked inside Stowaway Tiki Bar in Tustin, and it's definitely a fun experience. You actually enter through the mouth of a whale, which immediately sets the tone. The decor and theming are really well done, with plenty of unique details that make the space feel immersive. The atmosphere is more intimate and private compared to the main tiki bar, which makes it a nice change of pace. The food menu is limited, but what we tried was good. The drinks were definitely the highlight. I had the Farewell Jimmy, Smoke the Monster Out, and Geppetto's Last Words--all three were great. Smooth, tropical, flavorful, and definitely potent. Service was okay, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, The Belly of the Beast is a cool place to check out if you enjoy themed bars and unique experiences. For me, it's probably more of a one-time experience rather than somewhere I'd regularly return to. Still, the creativity, decor, and cocktails make it worth experiencing at least once.

The Blind Rabbit is no doubt a very neat place and definitely an experience, but the reason for my…read moreone star is because my friend and I were treated absolutely terribly by one of the bartenders. We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.
