Tropicali was envisioned by creative director Michael Sterling Eaton and his wife, Sanoe Lake, a professional surfer and actress. Sanoe, a local Hawaiian, and Michael, a California native, seamlessly blend their diverse backgrounds to craft the uniquely natural California island-style fusion known as Tropicali – an embodiment of the island state of mind.
Inspired by the beauty of California and their individual experiences, this power couple has curated an atmosphere that reflects the all-natural, laid-back essence of the Californian island lifestyle. Bring your dog along to experience the captivating blend of cultures and the warm, welcoming vibes that make Tropicali the number-one poke restaurant in America. The outdoor patio area is dog-friendly.
