LS Lake Surfer Tiki Socialite Milwaukee, WI Joined: Oct 21, 2002 Posts: 3417	LS Lake Surfer Posted posted on Sun, Apr 20, 2008 10:44 PM Here's some new info from Tiki Terrace. The new digs are good to go! Aloha from Tiki Terrace! I know it has been a while since our last email list update, so here goes... After nearly 5 months of constant build out, we will be open to the public this week! We are planning on a Wednesday open date, but please stay in tune with the website for the exact day or please call the restaurant... website and phone number below. Some points to look forward to: MENU... We have a new partner and head chef, Rich Lazaro. Rich is from Hawaii and knows the "local grindz"! So we are really excited to offer many new items on our menu. ATMOSPHERE... It is a similar atmosphere, but on a larger scale. We devoted much effort and time to details like hand-carved table tops, custom made booths, over 20,000 feet of blonde and brown bamboo trim, and so much more! My brothers, Rich, several friends and I fabricated/installed essentially everything you will see at the restaurant. We are very excited to hear your feedback on the atmosphere. ENTERTAINMENT & NEW ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE... Barefoot Hawaiian has a new show called the "Hanalei Revue" that will be featured every Saturday night during the dinner/show segment... and in my opinion, it is their best show yet! On Friday nights, Barefoot Hawaiian is back with the "Ports Of Paradise" revue during the dinner show segment. On most Wednesdays, we will be scheduling Live Island Music. Twice a month, we are scheduling a Senior Luncheon. And we hope to offer special events on a regular basis. STAGING... Our new stage is just awesome! It is decently larger than the stage of the old location and is elevated for better viewing. We are running an impressive lighting set-up which includes 48 par cans with theatrical control. Our sound is also bigger and better! And finally, our stage backdrop features the two largest Maois in the Midwest!!! Note, I do not have actual stats to prove they are the largest, but brah, these things are HUGE! SPACE AND LOCATION... The space can accommodate 90 guests in the dining area and 10 at the bar. The stage is viewable from all seats. The location is very accessible as we are literally 3 minutes North of O'Hare airport. The address is 1591 Lee St in Des Plaines. NE Corner of Lee/Manheim and Oakton. As mentioned above, this restaurant was a massive project for us and ultimately it is for you all. We really hope you enjoy the new Tiki Terrace and we look forward to serving you very soon! Please note regarding this coming weekend, if you are interested in making a reservation for the first Friday or Saturday show, Saturday is nearly booked to capacity, but there is still decent seating for Friday. Call asap for reservations for either show this weekend. Please check the website for Wednesday entertainment and luncheon dates.
