The restaurant requests:

“If you plan to shop, please do before or after your table reservation and not after you have been seated. We want to ensure everyone can enjoy the brunch. Mahalo!”

There’s no cover charge to come enjoy the music, libations, and SHOP! However, if you want a place to sit, eat, and relax you’ll want to make a reservation.

I recommend calling for a reservation to ensure they have the most up to date information.

Fun facts about the bikini. Thank you Oh So Delightful for this very informative read.

1946: The Bikini is Born

The modern bikini as we know it was officially introduced in 1946. French engineer Louis Réard unveiled the design in Paris, naming after Bikini Atoll, the site of atomic bomb testing, because he believed it would cause an “explosion” in the fashion world.

The launch was so daring that no professional model would wear it. Instead, Michelle Bernardino, an exotic dancer, debuted the suit at a poolside fashion show. Measuring just 30 inches of fabric in total, the bikini shocked audiences and was quickly banned in countries like Spain and Italy.

The 1960s: Liberation and Pop Culture

Brian Hyland’s catchy 60s hit “Itsy Bitsy Teenie We**ie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”turned the swimwear into a pop phenomenon.

Today, the bikini is a classic that’s constantly reinvented. From vintage-inspired high-waisted sets to daring cut-outs and eco-conscious fabrics, it remains a canvas for self-expression. More importantly, it’s no longer about scandal, it’s about choice, comfort, and personal style.
