The Tiki Terrace - Des Plaines

The restaurant is quite small inside, but the interior decor is nice. We had a good view of the performance from where we were seated. However, the experience was not worth the price of $49.50, which was supposed to cover a 3 course meal and the performance. The meal consisted of a small salad, grilled salmon for the main course, and chocolate lava cake for dessert. The menu options were limited to pork shoulder, coconut chicken, a burger, or salmon. Additional charges applied for drinks, appetizers, and desserts other than mousse pudding. With a party of 7, we each ended up spending $100-140, which wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for the $20 gratuity added to each bill. The service we received was subpar, as we were served last and had to repeatedly ask for utensils and napkins. Ultimately, the overall experience did not justify the cost.

My wife and I were joined by a group of friends to celebrate my 65th birthday at this restaurant. We had a wonderful time trying out the pork dinner, chicken dinner, and hamburger steak dinner, all of which were generous portions and delicious. Most of us also enjoyed their special cocktails priced at $8.50. For dessert, everyone had the included option except for me, as I opted for the coconut cake. The desserts were tasty, but I felt the extra charge for my cake was not justified. The entertainment included 2 dancers and an emcee, which added to the enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, we all had a great time celebrating my birthday at this restaurant.

I had high expectations for this restaurant based on what I had heard, but unfortunately, the only things I found great were the waitress and the salad dressing. While the presentation of the food was impressive, it did not live up to my expectations. I cannot recommend this venue, but I do recommend the host of the show. His quirky humor was delightful, and the birthday dances were entertaining. Overall, if you have the opportunity to go, I would suggest passing on it.

Very nice experience ! The food is delicious and the experience very affordable. Is a small place, but cozy and friendly.

The place is really small inside, the interior decor was nice... We sat at a nice angle from the stage so we were able to see the performance clearly.... But this was not worth the money $49.50 is stated to pay for a 3 course meal the performance, the 3 course meal entailed a small salad, I had grill salmon for my entree chocolate lava cake..... The entrees were very limited to either pork shoulder, coconut chicken, a burger or salmon.... The drinks, appetizers any dessert outside of the mousse pudding is a additional charge..... It was 7 people in my party we each spent $100-140 each which wasn't a issue really had we not been charged $20 each for gratuity.... The service rendered did not deserve gratuity at all, we were last to be served our food, last to be rung out when it was time to go, when asking for silverware to eat with or more napkins, we had to ask multiple times just to be told that we had to wait on our server
