Amber and her tropical escape are the best establishment in Hollywood! The sangria and the fish dip are my favorite and they are to die for! Such a fun atmosphere and amazing food and a great time overall!

This place wins because of the ambiance and location within the Farmer’s Market. We visited Yellow Green on Father’s Day and brought the pups in to take a lazy stroll around the place. It was our first time here and we had heard so many great things about the market itself. Anyways, onto Amber’s place. It’s pretty centrally located and cozy. The bar seats about 10 – 15 people and it also has two or three extra areas set up with patio furniture rented to accommodate for an overfill of customers(it must get really busy sometimes). The day we were there, it was very empty and we joined two others at the bar. Amber greeted us and was very friendly. She offered us drinks and we opted for the beer and YG trendy, ‘frozen sangria.’ Both were good and perfect for a hot Sunday afternoon. Considering the fact that I’m usually a bourbon girl, I was really surprised that the sangria had such a kick and that by the time I finished I was feeling a little bit of a buzz. The food itself wasn’t anything to get excited about. I ordered the house-made fish dip that Amber prides herself on and my hubby had the sirloin burger. The fish dip was small, plain in flavor, and served with toast points, jalapeños, and limes. It was okay, but a tad fishy for my taste and could’ve used some fresh herbs mixed in like basil, cilantro, or dill. The burger was tiny and served on french bread. My hubby was starving so naturally he scarfed it down, but when he finally came up for air he mentioned that it was dry and overcooked albeit edible. His burger was also served with Ruffles potato chips, yippee NBD. The dining experience killed two stars due to the price of the meal and drinks. We ordered the beer and sangria thinking that they’d be affordable like a couple bucks, but they ended up costing us almost as much as the appetizer and meal itself. Anyways, I get the appeal of this place and I know why Amber is successful. She’s genuine and kind. Her food is good, but doesn’t tout any bells or whistles. She even offered our pups a little treat which was nice. I don’t know if I would return to the Tropical Escape, but I’ll definitely be back to Yellow Green.
