My bride and I along with friends dined and imbibed this afternoon at that tiki turtle place in Dunedin. Honu (turtle in Hawaiian) is a fantastic find.

The setting is tropical, the drinks were divine, the service was stellar and the food was orgasmically good. There was nothing to poo poo about and that includes the pu pu platter.

I am already thinking about a return. My bride said, "Not tonight!"

Poo!

Gave this place another chance after a not so great visit over a year ago. Everything has improved drastically from the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. Everything was spot on followed up with warm friendly service. You can tell the new staff has really raised the bar!

Just wow. The food is worse than ever and now the place looks like you are at Epcot Center's Pacific Island Display. High Prices to boot, Just wow!!! Hey, if putting a flower on a plate of tacos doesn't work dump all your cash to make the place look how you wish the food tasted I guess.

I went here on a lazy Sunday evening for a few cocktails with my husband! The bartender Ian was very knowledgable and personable. He was quite the mixologist! I enjoyed sitting at the bar and not having to worry about social distancing since their was plenty of room.

The unique, curated flavors served in glasses to match added to the vibe! The decor of tiki statues, blow fish and pineapples along with the music rocked!
