The last time I went to Coconuts was in Jan. of 2004 when we tried unsuccessfully to get some local TCer's together. When Coconuts first opened in '03 I thought the place showed a lot of promise but was stuck in the "trying to be all things to all people" loop. Anyway, I went to their web site the other day and saw that Coconut's was "under new management" so I thought I'd give them another look. The only change I saw is that they've finally added tropical drinks to their drink menu. I ordered a mai tai which wouldn't have been so bad if it didn't come in a plastic cup with a lemon wedge. I was hungry so I had some of their lettuce wraps which were just so-so. Music was strictly 80's pop, mostly dance music...I thought I'd heard the last of the "Puttin on the Ritz" remake but leave it to Coconuts to remind me how much I hated that song. Last time I was there I think I counted 15 items resembling tiki. This time I only counted 10 and they were all crammed behind the margarita machine. If you're in Dallas and want to see a couple of well carved tiki's, stop in during happy hour. Otherwise, just go to Applebees.
