I didn't make it to the Tikiyaki event, but I made it up last night and had a blast. The DON'S name on the swordfish is great and the new entrance looks awesome, especially the hanging jade tiles. The service was very good (I understand monday's a very slow night, but the staffing is also much less) my drinks were great; much better than they had ever been at Kona, and the happy hour prices are awesome! It seems that DTB's is making a conscious effort to balance the wants of TC members and the wants of the other 99% of the general public. I mean, someone ordered a VIRGIN zombie last night, so obviously there's a lot of folks out there who couldn't give two shits about drink authenticity (or taste for that matter.) I can't even think of anywhere between my house in Dana Point up to DTB's that even serves a mai tai w/o pineapple juice in it. I enjoyed the Don's version of the mai tai and the navy grog, and I felt Ryan was making a lot of effort to bring the good authentic ingredients to the drinks. Overall GREAT time, and I highly reccomend making it out/over/down/up there!

Oh yea, I was kind of bummed that they don't use Sailor Jerry or the new Jay-Z rum in their Navy Grog... :wink:
