Definitely not Tiki in decor, but then that might be a good thing for the clientele, as the above mentioned reviewer expresses the opinion of John Q. Public (or Joanne Q. Public) that "themed", gimmicky restaurants spell bad food...clearly a remnant of the 80's Tiki devolution period. Now where is the place that has a menu like this, AND gets the Tiki decor right, to re-program the public.
