    We were there during the Sippin' Santa...Christmas decor, atmosphere, food and special drinks were outstanding! Would highly recommend, even without the Christmas pop-up. Well worth the visit!

    Waited 30 minutes to put in our drink order. About 40 minutes upon arrival we placed our food order and the food started coming out before our first round of drinks.

    Great service, we enjoyed the food and Christmas feel. The drinks were scrumptious especially the pinacolada my friend mentioned. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

    I had never been to a Sippin' Santa pop up, but had always wanted to go to one. 🎅This year it was held at the Grass Skirt tiki lounge in Pacific Beach, which I had always wanted to go to as well. I had read the reviews and knew it was going to be pricey and the food portions would be on the smaller side (going by the reviews), but I really enjoyed both the drink I got and the food I had (lettuce wrap shrimp and non alcoholic Pina colada). I just really loved the decor/vibe and fun Christmas music they were playing. Our waitress was nice and the Tiki mugs were fun. My friend really enjoyed her drinks (the bird of paradise and the one in the shark tiki mug and the pork bao bun). The women's bathroom had cute decor-think flamingos and a tropical theme. The only downsides were the fire pit in the middle with the 'skulls' wasn't working (where we sat) and they were out of the dessert I wanted, but other than that I had a great time! I also loved how you go through a freezer door to get to the Tiki lounge. I kind of knew what to expect going in, so it met my expectations.

    We enjoyed our drinks and food but the service was not good. Our table was in a corner and our waiter seemed to forget us. Some of the drinks took and food took too long to come out. Our server was no attentive to come back to check to see if we needed anything

    Had a wonderful experience. We were seated in their patio which was too Casual and the tables were too low for my mom to sit comfortably at. We requested to be at a normal table and they were able to accommodate that change for us and our server was amazing and so kind! Overall great experience
