After getting so-so service from my waitress at the local tiki restaurant here in town, I thought it would be fun to put together a postcard series showing waitresses serving tropical drinks from vintage tiki bars and restaurants back when service meant something.

We'll start with the original: The Mai Kai Mystery Drink Girl

Then the "copycat" Kahiki Mystery Drink Girl

This in one of my favorites - now that's how to serve a drink!
From the Samoan Restaurant in Cocoa Beach, Florida

Hawaiian Punch Village from Marineland in Ohio

These are from the Bali Hai in San Diego - you can see Mr. Bali Hai on the tray.

And from the Tahiti Restaurant in Quebec. Now how come she has the huge tiki bowl and he's got the little mug? That' my kind of date!

From the Tonga Room in San Francisco - Why is the sea captain so grumpy? Beautiful woman, tikis and big drink.

A lovely Hawaiian Girl serving tropical drinks - Is she checking that one to make sure its strong enough?

The Kalua Room in Seattle Check out the menu and the mugs on the table!

You just don't get service like that anymore!

Enjoy
