   Expensive but fun. Wish you could order appetizers or something within the “tiki” area.

   Disappointed that none of our drinks came in the special glasses. That was what was advertised in the news and the main reason I made the Rez and wanted to go because the whole theme looked so fun but only select people at select tables had the fun themed glasses. All 7 of our drinks came in normal boring clear glasses like any other drink so it killed the vibe for us. So No fun pics. Overhyped for the experience it was. Plus paid $5 per person just for the opportunity to get in. Make sure you have enough of the themed cocktail glasses next year!

   Very busy, but neat decorations. Purchased a food voucher but could not use it in avantiki, and needed to wait to use it until after. They were very strict about only having one hour to enjoy Your drinks at 2 mins before our time was up our table was cleared and we were asked to leave. Drinks were spectacular, but could have done it somewhere else without a $5 cover, time limit, and confusing food situation.

   Don’t bother with the food vouchers. Can only be used towards the tiki specials. How does it make sense to pre book $15 that can only be spent on a limited menu? Better off to not pre-book the vouchers and get access to the full menu. Drinks were good, but the food vouchers are a scam.

   I’m an admitted Tikiphile but wanted to try a new pop-up for Avantiki. Unfortunately I feel drinks were just average (and small) and had a mandatory 20% gratuity added to the bill. The noise level was way too loud for a tiki experience. And much of the Xmas music had zero tie in to anything remotely tiki. The service was good, the lights were nice, but the rest of the tiki decor seemed more like I got drunk and went to the dollar store for tiki decorations for a PTO meeting at the Pre-School. We also were kind of rushed and told “you have an hour” within 5 seconds of sitting down. That’s not good as one of he first few things said to a customer, especially after making reservations and paying $10 total basically as a cover before buying anything else. While I may be slightly not the target audience for this event, I’d love to see some better drink recipes and even some remote care but into making it feel like a good investment and experience vs being treated like cattle (especially for the prices you pay).

   It was great! The food had to be purchased and consumed outside of the tiki area.

   There was a really slim selection of drinks and they weren’t very creative or worth the price. You weren’t allowed to bring outside food from Avanti in and they only had a small refill for popcorn, we were starving by the time we left! Our server only came over a handful of times and then told us we had to get the check 35 minutes before our reservation was up. Overall there are better Christmas popups that are better decorated and more worth the value. Something to do but not worth going back.

   The website make it seem like there is the option to purchase food in the event area. Instead of it being from outside the event area and not being able to bring it in. That should be clear on the website so that people can make arrangements for food and time.

    Very nicely decorated, the only food there inside the venue is popcorn snacks which suits the vibe. You have an hour to stay. It was a nice experience.
