This is probably the best Tiki place I've ever been to! So many treasures of decor in one place…read more You are welcomed by the vibe right upon entering. Friendly service. The dining area has main floor seating & little cubbie rooms to sit in. Each has its own Tiki theme. We ordered drinks off the extensive menu. Delicious & decked out with garnishes. We had the chicken satay & a cheesy dip with grilled bread to eat. Both were great. The bathrooms are located downstairs. The upstairs wasn't open for dining, but they let us look around at the decor. So many Tiki mugs! An amazing fish tank too. This place is a gem.

How it ended up here is a mystery but this is a legit Tiki palace, and certainly the best Tiki bar I have ever seen.

From authentic decor to music to seating options and last but not least perfectly crafted tiki cocktails! The most beautifully displayed private collection placed in a bar. The space has doubled and the new side is open. It's lovely and perfect for larger groups (or more intimate tables). Already planning the private party I'd love to host here. Thank you for letting strangers into what feels like a private tiki venue. Chill, relaxing, and in. Escapism at its very best!

We ordered the chicken nachos and a couple of drinks, and enjoyed the view. This is a come as you are place, and has pretty good food from what I could see. I'll be back to work my way around their menu! Service was ok, but he was training someone, which is normally distracting. We understood, everybody has to learn. Great view and always busy!

I happened to go to Blue Gill Grill on 4th of July. Honestly, I wasn't feeling the holiday this…read moreyear, unfortunately, and so the fact that you could barely tell it was the 4th was a big plus for me. It's a laid back beach vibe no matter what, I suppose! I was here for it and that little peekaboo view of the lake. I ordered the blue gill because why not? I've never had the fish but it won't be the last time. The fish was lightly breaded and fried to perfection. The corn was spicy but delicious too. I don't even like hush puppies and these might make me a convert. But the Caesar salad. Child please. You know when you can tell they used anchovies in the dressing? (My true test of a Caesar salad.) Oh yeah. It has that salty brininess that anchovies bring to the table and it was divine. The drink was a fun nod to a holiday weekend. Service was fantastic. No fuss but very attentive and friendly. I live in Cincinnati but visit the area often and I will definitely be back. Maybe I'll even update my photos if I can manage to let the phone eat first.

While hosting family visiting from New Jersey, we spent part of the afternoon enjoying an activity…read morealong the river in downtown Lansing. About halfway through, everyone started getting hungry, so I asked my sister-in-law to pick a restaurant in Old Town that looked appealing. She chose Zoobie's because she thought she had seen it featured on a Food Network show, and the menu looked diverse enough that everyone in our group would find something they liked. Being from New Jersey, my sister-in-law firmly believes there is no good pizza outside of New Jersey or New York. Well, Zoobie's proved that great pizza can be found anywhere. I ordered the pear pizza without the meat, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors worked perfectly together, and I never felt like I was missing anything by skipping the meat. My sisters each ordered different pizzas and thoroughly enjoyed them, while my nephew had a burger that disappeared quickly, which is always a good sign. My wife ordered the bruschetta and spoke so highly of it that I had to try some myself. She was right, it was delightful. Another pleasant surprise was the atmosphere. The restaurant was quite busy, with a full bar and a group celebrating some kind of event, yet the noise level remained very manageable. As someone who is sensitive to loud environments, that can make or break a dining experience, and Zoobie's got it right. For context, we visited on a weekday around 2:00 PM, so that certainly may have contributed to the comfortable atmosphere. Still, every aspect of our visit exceeded expectations. Great food, attentive service, a welcoming environment, and perhaps most impressively, pizza that won over a skeptic from New Jersey. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Old Town Lansing.
