Haole'akamai: Actually, according to my mother- and father-in-law, who we took to FI right after it opened and who grew up with Trader Vic and knew him quite well, FI reminded them of the old Hinky Dinks.

What my wife's niece was reacting to was not our patronizing FI, but attending a Tiki Fest there last September (along with my wife's mom and dad, who loved the experience). There were a bunch of dealers on the outdoor patio and we picked up a bunch of good stuff for our Tiki lounge, mugs, carvings and other art work, along with some CDs and clothing, while we were there. It was our mentioning that we had attended this event that elicited her response, not simply visiting the bar.
