Okay, okay. Is the food and drinks all over the place. In a word... yes!

My wife, her brother and his wife, and I all dined tonight at the restaurant. We had a great time... despite the fact that

1. The Samoan Fog Cutter was served in a Tiki Bowl. Try picking one of those up.
2. There were no long straws for communal drinks, hence we couldn't order communal drinks.
3. The Chilean Sea Bass was not served in the Chinesse ovens as is traditionally done in the other restaurants.
4. The restaurant doesn't serve Bongo Bongo soup.
5. No flaming skull drinks.

Now for the good news. The food was great and the Navy Grogs were outstanding. The ambiance is a 10. The wait staff were super friendly and the evening was a hit with everyone.

But, yes, they are having trouble getting a few things right. The manager's response to my querries was that TV wanted a little experimentation and that the ovens were too tempermental to be trusted with cooking all of the food. He said future TV's would not use the ovens at all.

The place was fairly full for a Saturday night at 8 p.m.

I'd go back in a heart beat.

Despite the traffic.
