Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar offers a "fun tiki atmosphere" with "excellent music" and a unique band on a boat experience. While the drinks and service are praised as "top notch," the food is often described as "pedestrian" and expensive. Visit for the "memorable" ambiance and entertainment, rather than the dining.

    Service and ambiance was good however the food is very mediocre, especially for the high price tag. Glad I checked it out but probably won't be back for a while due to how expensive it is.

    Yes, the iconic SF Tonga Room…..come here for the ambience, not the food & drinks. Poor quality food. Overpriced and simply not good. Terribly disappointed.

    Honestly thought the drinks would be stronger, since they name off 3-6 different alcohols in each one. I think they put an eye drop of each alcohol in the drinks. The food, waaay overpriced for the portion you receive. Band was very good though. Will we be back? I don’t think so.

    This is not a place for food, it was sub par or even worse. No taste, seemed microwaved. We ordered apps, mains and deserts. The ambiance and drinks are what you’re getting here.

    A total experience restaurant. This is a place you go for drinks and appetizers and skip the food. It's a fun atmosphere with a band in a little boat on the water in the middle of the restaurant. The food was bland but the service was great.
