None of those are any reason for a Tiki Mecca to be destroyed. The Fairmont is one of the most ritzy hotel chains, so of course drinks are going to be expensive. Not getting seated fast enough; poor waitservice? That is silly.

Have you been to the St. Francis Hotel? Have you noticed that the esteemed Compass room is now replaced by a sleek restaurant? San Francisco is not LA, where anything can be torn down for the latest. A classic does not become dated with the passage of time.
