Todd HamiltonJanuary 21, 2016Don't write this off as a tourist-trap only restaurant. The food is very good and the atmosphere creates a tropical haven for cold New York winter days.- My parents’ favorite place to eat in NYC. Start w/ the Macadamia Crusted Goat Cheese. Get the Parmesan Crusted Sanibel Chicken w/ Cauliflower Potato Mash as the main. Finish w/ the Piña Colada Cake.Upvoted 1 week ago
- Elizabeth BursteinSeptember 1, 2019Went back for the second time in less than a week! Loved the goat cheese and scallop sliders. Mahi mahi tacos were good, and pineapple yuzu mojito was lovely, as was the painkiller drink.

KarenJuly 16, 2022Beautiful decor. And wonderful ambiance. Super friendly wait staff. Highly recommend the shareable appetizer, hummus and feta cheese with pita bread... it is so delicious.
- Elizabeth BursteinAugust 27, 2019Such an amazing place! Loved the coconut shrimp, pineapple cake, and mahi mahi. The half slice is plenty on the cake. Want to come back for cocktails!
the BEST restaurant in midtown. Deliciously strong drinks, yummy seafood apps, and a great scene often with live music!
They have live, chill, acoustic music here (I'd call ahead to confirm which days, I believe it fluctuates, but I'm remembering Tuesdays and Saturdays). Drinks and food are top notch!
Drew MSeptember 3, 2019The Salmon and Tuna bowls are both good; salmon a little bit better in my opinion. Tacos are also recommend.
S FDecember 8, 2017The Chicken sandwich and the coconut shrimps were so good. I’ve never tried anything like their chicken sandwich before.💛
StefaniFebruary 12, 2015Took forever for the food to come out but... The steak was so delicious and worth the wait!! 12oz! Perfect to split between two people.
Grace LadyecuaJuly 8, 2016Great food, cuisine, and service. We went on a Thursday for my mom's B'day and were lucky to hear live music.
Kristina PDecember 9, 2021surprisingly good for happy hour or lunch. Brussels sprouts, salads and bowls are all good- Alex Cruz-LebrónApril 10, 2016Host was rude when asked for a table: "Sure. *looks at me twice / fake smile* Can't say no, right?" — We were this close to leaving, but we're glad we stayed: food was amazing! & Waitress was lovely!
- The blackened fish tacos may be the best in NYC. The soft plantains they're served with put it over the top.
Jimmy ChrabiehDecember 12, 2013Delicious food! try the macadamia goat cheese mango entree, and don't forget the pineapple creme brulee. To die for!
Thomas NanceAugust 14, 2013The bottom floor is the apparel shop. You have to go to the 2nd floor for the restaurant. Walk right through and upstairs. Don't be shy!!- Elizabeth BursteinMay 15, 2022Got the salmon, tuna guac app, coconut shrimp, and the island orchard bev. Good!
Sarah SuchoffApril 15, 2013Try the Seared Ahi Tuna & Kale Salad! So light and flavorful. The tahini miso dressing is addictive. Great atmosphere.
Maritza Morales ShevlinMay 14, 2014Sangria delicious and the fish tacos were great- little on the pricey side - but hey that's 5th Ave midtown for ya!
Joshua BatemanMay 27, 2015So tasty with an awesome selection of seafood, deserts and other fare! We'll be back!
Amazing handcrafted cocktails and island inspired food upstairs in the restaurant!! Try the coconut shrimp & the Tropical Itch cocktail- Elon RubinAugust 5, 2015Nick is an awesome server. Great vibe and happy hour. A groovy island vibe mon. Come here!
This place is amazing. ..live entertainment Saturday nights and insanely good desserts!!
Rory ParnessApril 4, 2017Macadamia snapper was OK, a little dry. Desserts were excellent highlighted by the creme brulee pineapple
JanaAugust 30, 2013Lee is the best bartender! Tell him what you like and he'll make something spectacular.
