Total Island Vibes! Food was absolutely fantastic! Drinks were well made and balanced. Swings are totally fun!!!! Bartender Kendall is so nice and gives great recommendations! Mahi Mahi tacos and Southwest egg rolls were AMAZING!!!!
Had a business lunch there today even in the rain. The food was as good as expected since HeyDay sister restaurant has a James Beard award. They are coming out with a new menu very soon and can't wait to see what else is coming. The smash burger was amazing and recommended by hotel staff. The southwest style egg roll was super tasty with the sauce. The poke taco is super fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this place and I will be back to swing on a bar stool as I enjoy a cocktail the next time and not just food.
Amazing atmosphere. Service was slightly slow but very attentive, helpful and friendly! Vibes are 100/10. Edamame were spicy, with pad Thai flavor, but really enjoyable. The dips I would skip in the future. Had the Larb Thai Lettuce cups!! The Upcountry cocktail was amazing! The swings are a cool vibe.
We stopped by Heyday tonight on vacation for dinner and something to drink. Mason, our bartender, was super nice and very accommodating when it came to our drinks. Dakota was also very friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. The swings were cute while still being functional. My girlfriend loved the katsu and I thought the mahi mahi was great. I would recommend this as a cozy spot with a welcoming atmosphere to grab a bite and a drink.
Great little intimate spot. Food was really good and the Happy Hour menu is available until 6pm. The Tempura green beans were so good, going to dream about that sauce. Drinks were strong and yummy. Service was great and bartenders friendly.
