Tiki Terrace | Hawaiian Escape in Des Plaines, IL

[@RobbZipp]

Thanks for joining me! I’m glad you enjoyed it enough to go back!

[@SantosChronicles]

It was so fun and we have been recommending this to everyone. Thanks for helping me discover this place. We are all going back for Mother's Day and bringing the kids.

[@RobbZipp]

@@SantosChronicles thanks great! I’m glad you liked it so much!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Omg 😱 the dancing 😂🤪

[@SantosChronicles]

Robb Zipp couldn't believe I was going to do it. Felt a little old with all those teens there.

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

Brilliant job all most the weekend time again 👍 keep it going u legend 😊😊😊😊

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much for watching. With all the cold weather in IL, this made us feel like we were in Hawaii.

[@Terry.W]

Looks like an amazing place to enjoy...have fun..

[@SantosChronicles]

We are looking to go to Hawaii soon so this got us in the mood.

[@Lonerider59]

Have fun👍👍

[@SantosChronicles]

We did for sure. We loved it so much we are going back in May. Thanks for watching.

[@NickandRachel]

Looked like a fun experience! Food looked really good as well 😀

[@SantosChronicles]

The food was really good and much cheaper than when I went to a Luau in Hawaii. And the dancers were so good.

[@melissatravels2023]

Can’t wait for Mother’s Day!! ❤

[@SantosChronicles]

Rosalie is going to love this place and so will your mom.

[@FLACKFAM]

What a fun find! I would be coming here all the time so I could pretend I was in Hawaii! Way to hula!

[@SantosChronicles]

We are planning to take a family trip to Hawaii soon so this was a good warm up. Your Hawaii videos got us in the mood!

[@FLACKFAM]

@@SantosChronicles have so much fun!

[@21Swayzee]

Looks like a nice warm evening in the Chicago area..and a tiki escape with an amazing dinner would warm up your sole, cool place to dine, way to capture its vibes!

[@SantosChronicles]

During winter we usually hibernate and I edit my backlog of videos. We are taking the whole family here for Mother's Day and then hopefully next year it will be to Hawaii, which neither of my kids have been to. Melissa and I have been there and loved it.

[@JoseJuarez-sg7wg]

Me and my wife are always looking for new and family friendly restaurants most definitely will give this place a try!!!

[@SantosChronicles]

It is totally worth it. We have been to several Luaus and the dancing was on par or better than the ones we have seen. And it didn't matter how old you are, everyone enjoyed it.

[@bradandamy]

The food looks amazing. When the salmon is crispy on the outside but soft in the middle, it's perfection🍽 Carl, great dance moves! Oh this is the highlight of my day😂

[@SantosChronicles]

Glad I could entertain. We went back and Melissa said no way she was dancing. I would have included that in here also. We are hoping to go to Hawaii next year.

[@adventuresintvland]

That place looks like so much fun!!! I’ve never been to Hawaii. I’ve been to a couple of Tiki bars and they are fun

[@SantosChronicles]

Hawaii is amazing and looking to go back this year. The show here was as good as what I have seen in Hawaii and much better view. Such a great vibe there.

[@AndyandRachel]

How FUN is this!?! We are totally obsessed with Hawaii so if we are in the Chicago area we will HAVE to stop by. What a great share 🤙 Man that’s a lot of food! I can’t say I’ve had salmon cooked over lava and I do love salmon. So fun that they take volunteers to dance. Look at you living it up. Go Mister Showtime! I bet you’ll never forget it.

[@SantosChronicles]

You are right, I'll never forget it. Bringing the rest of the fam for Mother's Day. I have gone twice now and its a different show most of the time. I hope I catch the Blue Hawaii Elvis show. Have a good weekend guys! I saw your Northern Lights video, are you doing an Eclipse video?

[@trvlnthru]

Catching up on videos from a few weeks ago. This was video was amazing. Your hula skills are on point for an amateur! The food looks good. And the experience looks awesome! Thanks for introducing us to Tiki Terrace.

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much for binging on our content. It was fun to Hula but a young persons game for sure. We are going back here for Mother's Day with the whole fam.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

What an incredible experience!! I love places and experiences like this. What a great meal out. Incredible decor and ambience, love the Easter island head 😂 watch out for the sneezes though lol! That salad looks so good. The performance is amazing, and you are right, such a great way to preserve culture. So cool it could be a different show each time. Way to go getting up there to hula!! Fantastic video!

[@SantosChronicles]

It was so fun. We are going back with the whole family for Mother's Day. I swear the quality was as good as places like this in Hawaii that I have gone to. I heard there is even a Blue Hawaii Elvis show sometimes. Thanks for watching.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Carl! Who knew you could hula! 😂😂 that place looked great! The drinks and the food looked amazing!!

[@SantosChronicles]

LOL. I took one for the team! Figured you guys would get a kick out of it. We are going back for mother's day with the whole fam here.

[@wildzenventures]

Great video! Fun to find new places, I think your family would love it too! The practice dance was entertaining 😂

[@SantosChronicles]

Glad I could entertain. Fun to do but I'm not ready to be signed on for the dance company. We love finding new places. We are bringing the whole family in May for Mother's Day.

[@PogiboyProductions]

This Tiki Terrace place is cool. Definitely gives off Hawaii vibes! I like that all the designs are all in house made. Food looked delicious guys, and the mocktails look sweet 👍 Carl you're a natural when it comes to hula lol..

[@SantosChronicles]

This is totally a place I could you see you guys doing on your food adventures. Something totally different than the usual. Took a Texas KZbinr for me to discover this place. Now one of our favorites. Hula was dance but I definitely need more practice!

[@DMSAdventures]

Oh my goodness! Seeing you hula was the highlight of my day!! (It's been slow so far) 😅 That was fantastic! Super cool looking place! Now that you know it's family friendly you need to get the whole Santos Crew up there to hula!

[@SantosChronicles]

Must be a super slow day if my dancing was the highlight 😂. We can't wait to go back and bring the whole family this time during Mother's Day. Melissa and I returned here for Valentines Day. One of our new faves.

[@DoodletheTravelBug]

Oh! I want to go here so bad!!!! The food looks good too. I would have gone just for the theming. Carl, you could get a job there! 🤪😝

[@SantosChronicles]

I would get a job there if they needed a court jester - I'll leave the dancing to the professionals. But I do like trying 😂

[@TastesLikeDisney]

This looks amazing! 🏝️ Unbelievable theming in this place. Definitely need to check this out sometime! Makes me miss the Kahiki in Columbus, Ohio!! Went there all the time growing up. Sadly it’s gone.😞 That’s for the video. So much fun!!😄

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much for watching. I have lived in the area for over 3 decades and just discovered this place. It is a different vibe than most weekend outings here int he burbs of IL. We are going back for Mother's Day with the whole family. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@TastesLikeDisney]

@@SantosChronicles That’s a perfect place for Mother’s Day! Have fun!!

[@JenniferandMark2014]

Well that was an unexpected island get away in Illinois 🍍🤗Jenn

[@SantosChronicles]

Took a KZbinr from Texas to find this IL hidden gem 😂

[@DestinationEarth]

A lot of $$$ went into this hand made sculptures! Carl might have been my fav hula show of the night!! I'd pay $49.50 to see that again :p

[@SantosChronicles]

I agree but how much time it probably took was even more impressive. If I was the Hula show, the place would go bankrupt 😂

[@mihaelaclaudiap..2]

Now we're talking Carl! This was exquisite! Makes me think of my wild travelling days in Brazil! Loved the editing and also what camera are you using, low light performance it's not bad at all! we are so far from Hawaii :( such a shame, I would love to visit! We do not have anything Hawaii based in here, like bars and stuff. Yes, the stone figure had a huge nose! :)) 3:18 you killed me this drink! I love pink drinks no matter what they put in it! Great dishes as well not to talk about the dessert! I am so addicted to sugar it's ridiculous! Loved how you explained the dance. Nice they take volunteers! I would go as well to try and dance! ha,ha Carl, practice! You killed it, made me LOL big time! xx

[@SantosChronicles]

For this one, I just used my iPhone 14. Usually for low light situation or I need to zoom in, I usually switch to the phone. But usually, I use my GoPro 11. We are looking to go to Hawaii next year since neither of the kids have been there yet. Glad I could entertain with my dance moves 😂

[@TheTolleRoad]

You missed your calling

[@SantosChronicles]

It was fun, but far my calling! You would have fit in here with your Hawaiian shirts.
