My wahine and I took a trip out to SoCAL last week and hit the Bali Hai while in SD. Here's a quick rundown...

I read there weren't many tikis left in this place, but there seemed to be plenty when I went (yes, the dining area is bare). The view of San Diego bay was gorgeous. The food was good. The wahine got the Beef and Pea-pods, I got the Chicken of the Gods.

As for the important stuff (aka drinks) I knocked out two here. Numero uno, the Bali Hai Mai Tai. This drink truly was "out of this world".

Next I tested out their Navy Grog. One word: strong! It tasted good too but you really knew the rum was in it (nothing wrong with that of course). This was my first NG so I don't have much to compare it too - it will make a great benchmark though.

The drink prices were very reasonable too, if I remember correctly both drinks were under $7. What a bargain.

I only wish there was someplace in RI that treated tiki drinks with respect. The best Mai Tai you'll get here is white and tastes nothing like a Mai Tai - argh, when will the revolution begin.
