Puamana and I just returned from our second visit. Tonight we had dinner reservations, but arrived an hour earlier and sampled some drinkies. If I had started typing this post about two hours ago, I would have been exiled to Bilge. We tried a Mai Tai, a Suffering Bastard, the Trader Vic's Grog and a Tortuga. With dinner we split a Seattle Tabu, which was originally served at the Seattle TV's back in the day. All the drinks were excellent. Our Aloha wear attracted a woman who is an employee of Trader Vic's named Eve, who's in town overseeing the opening of our TV's, getting the staff trained and such. She oversaw the opening of SF, and will be there for Scottsdale, Vegas, Dallas, etc. She proceeded to drop the names of Martiki, Mr. Smiley, Otto and Judd, and sends her best wishes to you all. We had a great conversation with her, and it felt good to hear the names of fellow TCers, and know that indeed we have positive impact. It's good to know that the staff has expectations upon them, that will be to our benefit in the form of properly made drinks, and food, but mostly drinks. Ironically, our waiter for dinner was named Adam. Our dinner was great (I had king salmon, Puamana had Mahi Mahi), service was good, and it was inspiring to feel the enthusiasm of all who worked there that we had contact with. We look forward to our next visit.
