At least they are still open! Exactly...and I talked to Rusty about this. They're concentrating on making Dallas TV as successful as they can and not spreading out quickly opening new restaurants. They know the drinks were a little overpriced and that it scared some people away. Rusty also said he wants EVERY customer to order a Mai Tai which is why he knocked the price down to what it was in the early 70's. I think this is step in the right direction and a step in keeping Dallas TV a well oiled machine that's going to be around for a while. They definitely have a vision and a good understanding of the local market...something other Trader Vic's seriously lack.
