Let me start by saying I Love The Tiki Terrace and am so glad that Des Plaines has such a unique dining venue. I was just a bit disappointed with last night's visit. I'm hoping this was a one-off thing, but there was only ONE server in the restaurant. The poor girl was running frantic trying to do it all – hostess, server, bartender, and likely something with food prep with how much time she spent in the kitchen. She did a fabulous job juggling it all, but service was extremely slow and the food was not as good as usual (my chicken was super dry). Luckily there was live music to help distract us from the delays. One other thing – it would have been nice if they gave me a discount on the taro chip appetizer since they were out of the pineapple salsa that usually accompanies it.

We were not sure what to expect and the dinner was so so. Small portions of meat/fish and the sides were cole slaw and white rice, with all dishes. Pretty starchy for me, something vegetable-like would have been better. Since we didn't buy a package we had to pay extra for an appetizer and drinks. The show started almost 2 hours after we arrived and by that time we were a bit sore from sitting. I wish we knew what time the show was scheduled to start so we could have arrived much closer to that time. The show was cute. They showed some traditional Polynesian dances and threw some comedy in with the customers.The staff was very pleasant and I think except for the so so food and the long wait for the show it was a nice place to visit.
