I had an astonishing Suffering Bastard, beautifully tart and tangy unlike the "Mai-Tai-with-a-Cucumber-Slice" you're likely to get elsewhere, and my wife got her favorite drink, too: a nice sweet & fruity Lava Flow. I really wish we could've stayed for dinner, and possibly the Hula show, but we already had plans to have dinner with my Godfather. I'll post pictures as soon as I've got them developed, this place is really worth a stop. To give you an idea, they closed after lunch 15 minutes before we got there, we waited in our car in the Chicago winter for almost 2 hours for them to open for dinnertime, and it was worth it.
