It seems that the small owner-operated places are the way to go now. Possibly, but such may overlook the success TV has enjoyed as a chain. Also, TV "target" audience was broader than just those who frequent Tiki bars. It seems that the operation cost required too high of a dinners & drinks served and that their location was not will situated to take advantage of the tourist trade. A shame.
