    I’ve been a fan since the soft opening and their holiday event offerings were amazing! A well crafted ‘will ube mine?’ Paired with the steak skewers was a perfect treat. No matter the staff, they’re always friendly and easily answer any questions you might have.

    Fantastic Tiki Bar! Superb ambience with lovely hostess. Surprisingly good food. This is on par with the world's best Tiki bars I've been too... which have been quite a few. The Pop Polynesian decorations, floatsam and jetsam, sculptures, Tikis and oddities really set the atmosphere. Talk to your travel agent now - this is a Must Book 'Permanent Vacation'

    Like ALWAYS, such a great time at Permanent Vacation- the steak kabobs were so tender and full of flavor and every single one of our drinks were perfectly crafted (pain killer for the WIN) 🍹

    If you want an overall experience, this is where you need to head. The decor and atmosphere are very indicative of a true tiki bar. The travel agents aka the service staff were attentive, jovial and offered valuable suggestions on the menu. The drink menu consists of mostly rum-based cocktails, but the other ingredients in each makes for a well-rounded and diverse cocktails menu. The presentation of the drinks are also phenomenal and part of the overall experience. The food menu is appetizers, flatbreads & a few entrees. Despite my reading other reviews that the menu is eclectic and contained “strange” items, I’d say that’s categorically false and the flatbreads and appetizers we tried were outstanding. I’d order anything we tried again and I’d go back to explore the rest of the menu as well. Another bonus: the travel agents also proactively asked about allergies and ensured everything that I ordered was safe for consumption. We will definitely be returning!

    We had a fantastic time! The atmosphere is classic tiki with exotica music playing at a level where you can hear it and still have a conversation with the people at your table. When special drinks are served a sound, light and fog effect is played making it very festive. Drinks were creative, well balanced and presented beautifully with great serving vessels and garnishes. Staff was so knowledgeable and attentive. The speakeasy style entrance was an unexpected bonus! We will come back as often as possible!
