The food was pretty good, but I found the drinks lacking. For a place that bills itself as the 'Mai Tai Lounge', I am setting high expectations. Their 'Haole Mai Tai' was like drinking fruit punch. Their 'Classic' mai tai was a tad stronger, but was too little for $7.00 (although this is the going rate for drinks in the Gaslamp District).

The decor was top notch, but the Tiki with a nose ring annoyed me. I did my best Regis Philbin impersonation, and told the wahine 'A Tiki with a nose ring?? That is blatant pandering to the hipster crowd! What next, will the tikis sport a tatoo in the lower part of their backs!! I can handle a bone in the nose, but a nose ring?!?!'

It never hurts to have a bit of melodrama after visiting a new Tiki joint. :)
