Royal Hawaiian, Laguna Beach, CA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

I had to complain to people who might understand. Not surprisingly, quite a few of you beat me to the punch. While the Oceanic Arts light fixtures are quite nice, almost all of the old look and feel of the RH has been destroyed. Now it looks like the sort of place where every menu item is uber-expensive and "infused" with the "essence" of something weird. What a loss. I'm hoping I'll have a better experience when I make the pilgrimage back to Sam's in a few weeks.
