Tonga Room

Pros: The Kitsch! The Cheese!
Cons: Parking is a pain.

Part Enchanted Tiki Room, part Jungle Cruise of Disneyland, brought together by that retro lounge feel, the Tonga Room in Nob Hill is one serious lounge/restaurant for all Tiki Bar fanatics, uninitiated locals, and tourists who enjoy campy, cheesy, and...

Pros: good food, inexpensive, GREAT atmosphere
Cons: hard to find

I went to the Tonga room last week on a business trip to San Francisco. I chose the restaurant based on an epinion written by Mindkill91. It was wonderful. We called in advance to make reservations on a weeknight which wasn't really necessary since...

Pros: Great island atmosphere allows you to get away from it all...
Cons: Parking and some dishes a little pricey for anyone on a budget

How many restaurants do you know of with scheduled tropical rainstorms, and a floating island to house the musical entertainment? My guess is there’s only one. And it’s the Tonga Room.

For my 18th birthday, my friends and I decided we wanted...

Pros: Great food and a great atmosphere!!
Cons: Little pricey

This has to be one of the coolest restaurants in San Francisco!! Our roommate made a reservation there he couldn't keep so my boyfriend and I decided to take his place last minute. I am sooooo glad we did!! The Tonga room is located in the Fairmont Hotel...

Pros: Wonderful ambiance, not too expensive, excellent and unique cuisine
Cons: The lighting is a little dark, but that's only a problem if it really bothers you.

My boyfriend happens to be a native of San Francisco. On my first trip there he requested that we eat at The Tonga Room. It is one of his favorite restaurants, and he used to go there every year on his birthday. The way he originally described it, I...

Pros: Great atmosphere, Lots of fun
Cons: Expensive!

The Tonga Room is a venerated tradition in San Francisco. Located in the historic Fairmont Hotel, at the top of Nob Hill, it is truly a place not to be missed when visiting San Francisco. It is, truly, the king of Tiki.

Let's get something...

Pros: fantastic food, unique atmosphere
Cons: a little pricey, but the food is worth it.

A friend of mine recommended this place once, and on a lark, we decided to check it out. I was impressed. Over the last few years, I've used the Tonga Room as the restaurant to impress out of town guests, and just to have a good meal with in town...

Pros: -Great Service -Entertaining atmosphere in a Disneyesque sort of way
Cons: -Poor quality of food -Very expensive for what you get

Based upon some of the other opinions on this website, we chose the Toga Room as a dinner spot to visit with some friends.
While the service was excellent and the atmosphere fun (in a tacky sort of way) the food leaves much to be desired.

Pros: Happy hour.
Cons: Food, chef, prices.

While dining at the Tonga Room for my friend's birthday, I was greatly displeased. Their food is tremendously overpriced and greatly lacking in flavor. I am Chinese and I have dined at a lot of Asian restaurants, but none of them left me with such a ...

Pros: good food, drinks, and entertainment!
Cons: none!

I went to the Tonga room with my sister and my cousin. We had no idea what to expect when we went. It was great though! We didnt eat dinner there, but we did eat appetizers and had some drinks. And what we had was wonderful! So i assume that the food...

Pros: Good place just for drinks and cheesy atmosphere, service is okay.
Cons: Food is very overpriced when you also factor in the lack of quality.

Cheesy can apply to both the ambiance and the food. I must have went with the wrong expectations. In a city full of great Chinese food; this was mall food. I was also expecting some south pacific type entertainment not strictly lounge singing for which you get charged an additional $5 after 8pm.
