Bamboo Beach Tiki Bar & Cafe

Two out of three visits were terrible. Giving one star for view/location because it’s on the beach. First time, completely ignored and disregarded for almost a half hour by staff. Even after I got someone’s attention it was at least 40 minutes before I was able to put in my order and it wasn’t busy. Made eye contact multiple times, happy hour expired, nothing. Things are over priced but I get you are paying for the view/location. Second visit was late night, service was prompt and good, portion of meal was better. Third visit was today, during happy hour. 1/2 price app ordered during HH was not good. Had 3 drinks and thought they were all on HH. My bill was huge! Pointed out I was charged full price for my 1/2 price app and bill was discounted. Then realized also charged full price for my beer. Also discounted. Didn’t bring up the margs even though I watched them make them and they were definitely house margs. HH is 1/2 off wells, 1/2 off domestic beers, and half off select appetizers. They charged me $14 A PIECE for two WELL house margaritas during HH. Literally everything I had was overcharged. Location is gorgeous but you might not get served and if you do you might get price gouged so check your bill carefully. If it weren’t for the one good experience out of three and the view this 100% would have been a one star review. This is coming from an 18+ year former service industry professional who has a lot more grace and patience for servers and bartenders than most people and I rarely write a review but this just reaaallllly rubbed me the wrong way and I wanted to warn folks. I wanted to love this place and I tried hard to but overall… no.
