- Esther AssaadJanuary 25, 2014Cute spot! Underground tiki bar with fun cocktails. Can get a bit pretentious. Hour long wait for a table on a Wednesday night!?

- Nick FruendtFebruary 19, 2016Great place to bring a date. Fun atmosphere, and the DJ was playing some great music
- Dan WeissDecember 13, 2013better than the drinks you'd find on a tropical island. Saturn,three dots and a dash, lonely island, pain killer #3
- If you're hungry, the banana daiquiri comes with half of a banana (shaped like an adorable dolphin!!).
- Curtis HillerApril 4, 2015When the bar's crowded, piggyback on someone else's order. Order your next set when they arrive; it takes forever to make them so you have to make the most of having the bartender's attention.
- Kate FurmanMarch 18, 2016Line can be long outside but it goes fast. Get the banana daiquiri, it comes with a banana dolphin!

- Great cocktails! Feels like you are in a tropical paradise when it's really 20 degrees in Chicago!
