We LOVE the shrimp tacos here. The cocktails in pineapples (alcoholic and non) are fun and yummy too. I wish we could tell you what other dishes are good, but we just keep ordering those shrimp tacos! All the seating is outdoors, shared with 4 other restaurants, so if some of you don't want the Caribbean food served here, you have other options: pasta & pizza, Korean, sushi burritos, and savory & dessert pies.

Really good gelato and sorbet that is less crowded than 50 Licks ice cream down the street. We were surprise to find that one of our favorite flavors is the orange cardamom sorbet. Don't miss the blueberry lavender sorbet if they have it! Fun atmosphere with board games, quirky furniture and mural. Its even a local D&D meeting location.

If you don't know how to dance yet, never fear, there is almost always an introductory class at the beginning of the evening. http://www.norsehall.org/calendar/
