It looks like they added more decor from when I visited in late 06.

I do remember that "Bar Smell". I think its the bar mats and the bleachy crap they use to clean them. I too was amazed that nobody was choosing to sit in the main dining area but I'm from Florida and I suppose if I was visiting from Michigan I would rather be outside enjoying the view and weather.

I long ago gave up expecting the hired help to be Tiki Knowledgeable, although I do expect the bartender to know the drinks and hopefully the history or lore behind them.

It sometimes pains me to see touristy MCtiki establishments with a turn em' and burn em' mentality. I do not think "Tiki's" falls fully into this category. They obviously have appointed the place well and I agree that the food was well prepared. It's a good place to go for lunch to sit out and look at the view and to have Dinner in the main dining area.

The best place I found to relax and drink is
Da Big Kahuna

Great Pictures TikiReno! must be the D300. I have the D2x but it only gets to 1600 on the iso, although it has Hi1 and Hi2 settings (? never use em.)
