just back from an wonderful evening in the Tonga Room. i brought my 84 yr old Uncle Richard, cousin greg, Uncle Fred and Auntie Elsie.. our waiter was a curt chinese dude, who we could barely understand, he wasnt very attentive, but he gave us free rice even though 2 in our group had the appitizer for an entree!

the pro photographer came by when one of our group was away, and i guess he went to develop film, so we couldnt wait around. so our waiter got us all in focus and took a nice group photo.

we had a flaming dessert. i have no idea what it was, i just asked our waiter for a 'dessert on fire".. he made sure there was plenty of booze in the chocolate cup to make a huge fire.

only auntie else had a drink, Tom Collins, and she got darned tipsy, and enjoyed her cocktail.

the cheezy filipino trio was playing the same set i remember from a few years ago.. and we ALL sang along to 'fly me to the moon'. i think $5 per person isnt unreasonable for a cover..

i love this place, the remodel seems like just a deep cleaning ~ i didnt notice anything missing, perhaps there were fewer thunderstorms.. other than that..

ive enjoyed all our visits to the tonga room..and it was nice to bring folks who havent been there in 30 plus years ~ and watch them have fun too.
