Visually stunning. That Trader Vic's scene makes me weepy. Being part Cuban myself, it's quite a thrill to see my interests coalesce. There's some earlier discussion about it here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=17933&forum=1&hilite=cuba By the by, recently scored a Trader Vic's Habana Hilton menu containing a scrawled message from Mr. Bergeron himself wherein he calls Fidel a "dirty stinker" for tying up the rum supply! Is BIG BRO SVEN back from Cuba yet? I'd love to hear a full report.
