Well . . . I can personally report that there are quite a few of us still around . . . we were there in the 1960's and even earlier. In fact, I remember an evening in the Tonga Room (at the SF Fairmont Hotel) in 1953. I remember the girl with me that evening very well. Sorry, but I don't remember the decor, the food, or the drink . . . but she says it was classic "tiki." So . . . if you want to know what it was like in the good, old "Tiki" days . . . just ask an old-timer's girl friend.
