Mel Ski Review of The Grass Skirt
Wow! Lets just say I'm a huge fan of speakeasy's....
Wow! Lets just say I'm a huge fan of speakeasy's. Who doesn't love them? Its like being a child again, finding the ultimate secret hideout. When you first arrive, there is a little bit of a confusion as to where the entrance is. This was my first time here and prior to coming in I knew nothing about the Grass Skirt other than it being a tiki lounge. Another bystander pointed me out to a nearby poke shop. This can't be the entrance I thought. Oh, but it was. I entered the establishment and was greeted by the kind staff. Reservations are highly recommnded by the way, especially if you come in on a weekend. Anyways, the staff leads you to the kitchen where they open up what you think is a big metal fridge door. No, it's the entrance to the lounge. When that door swung open I was in complete awe. The place is fully decked out with Christmas decorations. It was absolutely stunning.
Now, on to what we ordered. For drinks, we got the Kris Kringle Colada, Sippin' Santa and Boozin' Susan's World Famous Chi Chi. All drinks were good but if you're looking to get a little tipsy, Boozin' Susan's is the way to go. The drink is dangerous, meaning it tastes so good that you dont even realize there's alcohol in it. For food we ordered the Tenderbelly Rice Bowl, the Spicy Tuna Tostada and the Grass Skirt Bao Buns with pork belly, peanuts, cilantro, cucumber, gochuang and hoisin sauce. Ya'll! These bao buns were amazing! Our whole group loved them so much that we ordered a second round. I am officially adding the Grass Skirt as one of my top lounges to visit in San Diego.
