Some of you may have read my earlier posts about Bamboo Island, the new restaurant in Pleasanton. Well, they have been open for a few months and are doing well, according to my coversation last week with the owner. But they haven't had a proper opening celebration until now:

On Sunday the 28th of July, they will be hosting their First (hopefully) Annual Island Luau. Here's what you'll get:

-A buffet featuring slow roasted pig, mahi mahi, salmon, and I can't remember the rest.
-One free Mai Tai or Lava Flow per person
-Happy Hour pricing all day. ($4 for select tropical drinks)
-All this for $20 per person.

For those who have not seen the place yet, is it tiki? No- it looks like a Roy's. But once again, we should encourage places that try at least. There are about nine exotic drinks on the menu, some look pretty good, and many promise fresh juice. There are also two very large, semi-Marquesan tikis inside, so it could be worse.

I say, let's show 'em how it's done. Show up in full regalia and do it up right.

Tiki Central has a table for ten people reserved already for six p.m. I'm sure I could add more if there's demand. RSVP to this thread, and let's have a blast. I need to hear back from everyone by Friday the 19th so I can let them know a final head count well in advance, as they expect to be booked solid.

(Perhaps after dinner drinks in Emeryville at a little place out on the water?)

Hope we can get a tikiposse,
