The Jungle Bird offers a vibrant tiki bar experience with "amazing atmosphere" and "delicious drinks."

Perfect for a fun night out!

The drink was cool, but the food wasn’t hot when it came out. Also, the dole whip was one of the reasons for trying this place and the machine was broken. I would rather hear that from McDonald’s where the food is warmer than what we were served and I expect their soft serve machine to be broken.

Waited for 40 minutes to be served. It was raining and we had reservations outside so the host said it would be a longer wait to accommodate us. When it was time for us to be seated, the host told us we could stay seated at the bar or seat on the other side of the entrance ramp. No one was waiting us when we moved. We were then moved for a third time to be waited on. All the staff seemed stressed out and were over explaining why the service was bad that evening. The drinks and food was good.

This place is a must-see for tourists and a great hangout for locals. There are two parts to the restaurant/bar. The bar area in the front has a few seats so you can drink and chat with bartenders. There are a couple of tables up front in the bar area. The dining area in the back is a well decorated and cozy room that will make you forget your troubles and the weather outside! This is a real treat for locals too - I would never get bored of visiting this fun escape.

We had a large group in the back of outdoor seating and were largely ignored by our server, I’m unsure if he was the manager but he was still really nice just unfortunate that 40% of our table didn’t get served because of it. I hope to have a better experience next time!

If you make a reservation for 2 expect a awful location. I was sat next to the back door leading to the outdoor seating and the door was opening and closing letting sun in then out and was highly distracting and annoying. Food took forever and getting new drink orders in was a hassle.

Very colorful and tasty drink menu, good dinner and small bites, and mysteriously inviting atmosphere that takes you to the islands. Went to meet with friends and had the Poke Nachos and the Pu Pu Platter. Great vibes and would definitely recommend!
