Well...this was my second dining experience there, and was quite good. My lunch was very tasty- it's an upscale, Roy's-style menu, very california-flavored island food. The buffet at the luau was also very good- I'm giving them some leeway since it was a buffet and it's hard to be great with steam tables. I thought the only dish that fell down was the mahi mahi which was very dry and tough.

I think the drinks are basically terrible so far, as I've tried four from the menu.
Mai Tai- tastes OK but is not a Mai Tai. Should be renamed Bamboo Islan Punch and would be OK.
Lava Flow- Just too sweet for me. (Coconut and grenadine based)
Mojito- not enough mint and not carbonated.
Guava Rita- Guava juice Margarita. Actually pretty good, but difficult to justify a $7.50 price for some Cuervo and Kerns Guava Juice.

We had a great time. Thanks to everyone that came out for it. It was nice to put some more faces to UserNames.

Thanks for the great pics Mike!

And thanks again for the tiki pendants, TikiKing! I've been wearing my Lava Guy for three years and now he has a friend.
