The Hangout at Gulf Place

The Hangout was a great place to visit while on vacation. The owner must have spent a lot of money getting this business up, because the place is really beautiful. It's a great place for children as well as adults; they have a sand pile playground where children can play while the adults are waiting for their food.

The Hangout is also a great place to take teens; they regularly have bands playing with a seating area around a fire. They have great Mojitos and delicious foods. There are also 4 bars in the restaurant, so finding alcohol wasn't an issue.

I ordered the Shaka-Shaka shrimp and it was amazing. They also have the biggest burgers on the island. Indeed, it costs a little more than the average restaurant, and it is economically a tough time, but the experience was well worth the extra spending.

There's an event that takes place at this restaurant from time-to-time when the kitchen gets backed up, where the waiters and waitresses jump on the tables for a dance number. The gift shops were fun to shop at, they had a wide selection of humorous gifts.

One of the only issues that I had during my experience was the parking. The parking lot was a nightmare, and finding a spot to park was rather difficult.

The employees over-all were very friendly and courteous and made sure that my experience was a good one.

To sum things up, The Hangout was a great place to visit, and I would recommend it to anyone who is on vacation or visiting the area. Although it can be a bit expensive, the experience that you and your family will have will be worth the while.
