We told the hostess we came down from the Bay Area and just wanted to look around and take pictures. Overall it looked nice, never got to see the "old SAM'S". Would have loved to try the food since my wife and I are real "foodies", (Best food in any Tiki style Restaurant...Definitely - MISTER TIKI...though the decor is a little too 21st Century Tiki). Now I'm still a bit unclear as to what the "management" thinks since the planned Re-Opening Celebration was scheduled the same weekend as Tiki Oasis 7? When my wife and got a hold of someone working there, who by the way claimed to be THE PROMOTIONAL DIRECTOR FOR SAM'S RESTAURANT, we mentioned who we were, said we had been talking to "Alan" on Tiki Central since last year, http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=22058&forum=1&hilite=Sams , to which she replied, "I don't know any, 'Alan'!". Then we mentioned "BambooBen" and again she replied, "I don't know who that is either!" and we said, "Oh, just the guy that did all the remodeling work over the past year!" Finally we asked point blank why they would schedule the Re-Opening on the same night as Tiki Oasis.....everyone at Tiki Central has waiting for the Re-Opening.....here's what she replied, *"WE'RE NOT INTERESTED* IN THE 'TIKI CROWD', WE'RE TRYING TO ATTRACT THE LOCALS!"** :o Needless to say we walked out of there with our mouths open and to save a 'linching' it's a good thing I don't remember her name after Oasis! :x [ Edited by: Dr.TikiMojo 2007-08-30 11:42 ]
