Bali Hai, Eastside Santiago, Chile (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

The LA photographer Ocatvio (Winky Tiki) got me hip to Bali Hai in about 1997. I visited there in 2000 on the way home from my first trip to Easter Island. It is WELL worth a visit. From the three life-sized moai outside, to the unique-to-Chile Tiki mugs, to the many-multi-lingual floor show, it was a blast. It is basically Chile's answer to the Mai Kai, but only 1/4 the size... but you'll love the camp value. Make a reservation, they have 1 or 2 seatings per night (like Mai Kai), for the dinner and show (you can't just show up any old time and get seated). More info in TRT and TBRP. ...and as long as you're in Chile, why not schedule some vacation time directly after your shoot, and make the pilgrimage to Easter Island? When else will you be 3/4 of the way there on someone else's dime?
