Another review I swore I wrote years ago! It took us a while before we made it here when we first…read moremoved to the area. It was super busy when we went our first time and it was not during happy hour on several occasions we have visited. We live close and visited here a bunch the first 2 years we moved to Ocala and have visited less and less since then. There have been several occasions we have stood at the bar waiting not only to be greeted but also waited very long times to receive our drinks. In their defense, many times the bartenders were busy attending to patrons or making drinks. However, there were several times some bartenders were just talking to friends or messing around. The drinks here are super detailed so they take some time and TLC. I will say, most times our drinks taste delicious and the presentations are magnificent! The decor is so cozy and the ambiance is consistent. Hubs and I absolutely love Tiki themed bars and fell in love with Hawaii after our visit years ago so this place is perfect for us. We also like this place because they are open later than most places in town. We recently visited for a nightcap and it was definitely different. I recently had referred someone here because she was looking for Hawaii themed food (they used to serve food) and she informed me they did not serve food. That sucks because we always meant to try it but never did. Looked good. When we recently visited, they did not have physical menus and were referred to QR code cards on the bar. Our bartender was attentive and helpful with choosing a drink during our recent visit. He actually went out of his way to make the orange peel twist in a perfect manner. I appreciated that! I was going to suggest to hubs we have another drink and then a roach crawled across the bar. I discreetly informed the bartender of the dead roach I killed when we closed out and he took it away. Usually this place is clean and tidy so I was surprised to witness the roach. They do have seating outside as well but we usually sit inside to listen to the themed music.

What a fun and unique experience this is!…read more The theme is a Tiki Hawaiian speakeasy and is very inviting with all the island decor. They even have hula dancers! I lived in Hawaii, so I didn't expect much, but I was actually impressed with the two dancers. Moreover, they were very accommodating when it came to letting a few of the girls dance with them on stage for their birthday (lol). This is basically a bar, so there is a bar menu with plenty of fun specialty drinks to go along with the theme. There is food available as well. It is a bar, so don't expect to get a full meal, but rather small shareable bites. We ordered a variety and shared. Everything was so good. The staff that waited on us was super friendly and fun...and put up with the crazy girls I was with...awesome! Be advised, the food and drinks are a little on the pricey side, but you are also paying for the atmosphere, etc. The Lounge is located inside the Wyndham Garden Hotel; therefore, there is plenty of parking attached to the hotel, and it is free. You do not have to stay at the hotel to go to the Lounge; it is open to the public. Restrooms are available as well. No discounts that I am aware of.

For starters this place was very cool and the atmosphere is exactly what you're being told to…read moreexpect. We went for a birthday party and had a reservation made for our entire party. Just some information to know it is primarily a bar, they only have about 6 appetizers to order from. The appetizers were good and came out very quickly. The first thing that caught my attention was the amount of times they put food down at our table we did not order after about the 3rd or 4th time of this happening it seemed to be something they do to up the bill in hopes you don't notice. The second thing that thoroughly surprised and bothered me was after ordering another round of drinks, the second the drink was put at our table the waitress came over to check us out. No one had asked for the bill so we were all confused as to why we were being told we needed to close out, especially since we had just ordered more drinks. The waitress tells our party they have another reservation coming and they need our table... We all scramble quickly to leave so there's no issue and once we were outside that's when we realized there was no time limit on our table nor did anyone ask to close out the tab. Thankfully the hula dancers and our own group made the experience great however this place is very clearly a money grab and should not be accepting more reservations than can be handled as it completely ruined the end of our experience.

It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar. Dark and stormy tiki bar vibes. The service was super friendly, and the food and bev came out very timely. The drinks were great, and they had a really nice mocktail menu. You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.

First you check in at the hostess booth in a small room where she does her spiel and fully explains the menu. Then she will lead you inside the restaurant to your seat. We sat in a private nook in the corner which accommodated our 8 people (which the staff was fine with us adding 2 more to our 6 person reservation initially). The entire place is so well decorated and if you look around there's tons of fun details and decor. The menu is made up of a map and they provide everyone with their own personal flashlight to see it. When you order certain drinks, it triggers various special effects. At times, it felt like an adult rainforest cafe with changing sounds and lights. Our server went above and beyond to make our experience great, going all out with his special effects and overall sassiness. You get a two hour allotment and our server did a great job of updating us of how much time we had left. We will definitely be back!

When you arrive the parking lot connects to a walkway that is lined with tiki torches they light up after the sun goes down leading you to the bar area and then the restaurants tables on the docks. The open facing lake view is absolutely gorgeous, when you get to the restaurant area you can pick any open table and a server meets you promptly. They have everything from fresh seafood, delicious burgers, and crisp fried side options like tater tots, onion rings, and of course French fries. We ordered their Mushroom, Onion and Swiss Cheeseburger and the Smokin' Jalapeno Burger! Both were solid burgers with 1/2 lb angus beef thick patty and great flavor combinations. Ordered some drinks from the bar that were refreshing and for dessert we split the Key Lime pie that is a MUST order (sorry not sorry Publix)! For amazing views, great food, and relaxing vibes, I highly recommend making your way out here soon! We will be back to try out some of their seafood and specials very soon!

We loved the cozy vibe of the place and our server was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, the ramen left a lot to be desired. I ordered the miso ramen and the broth was honestly like drinking water, completely bland and with almost no flavor. I tried the ramen my friends ordered as well, and unfortunately, none of them had much flavor either. The shoyu had the most flavor out of the ones we tried, but even that one was still missing something. Our server was amazing, though. She offered to change my bowl, but since I had already tried the other ramen options, I decided to keep it. She brought me soy sauce and spicy oil, which definitely helped. I also tried the pork gyozas and unfortunately they weren't the best I've had. I probably wouldn't come back for the food, but I'd definitely stop by for a beer if I'm in the area. They had some really interesting options and they were nice and cold!
