Is it realy needed to DUMP on TV's without giving them a chance and more of a try than a lunchtime stop in daylight without talking to the staff that are looking to make this work?

Respectfully, I have to say "yes," it is necessary to dump on them. The decor is not going to change when the sun sets. We can all see what it is. Plus, Trader Vic's brass do read Tiki Central, and they need to know what the tiki community thinks.

I also believe most of the disgruntlement is coming from reaction to the decor, not so much the service and food. Certainly, any new restaurant deserves a chance to prove themselves in that capacity.

Also keep in mind, the decor that was chosen was not really the decision of Trader Vic's as a company, but more so the investors who put this project into place. I'm beginning to see why the Dallas group pulled out of it.

Also, I'm curious to know if the drink menu is a typical Trader Vic's drink menu. I heard it was going to be "limited."
