More so than a tiki bar, a tiki restaurant needs
- Earth, i.e. lava rock, moai,
2.. Wind, i.e. exotica music,
- A water feature - i.e. waterfall, indoor rain, fountain,
- A fire feature - this could be a mini hibatchi, torches, fire pit, etc.
- Whimsical gods and terrifying beasts, i.e. tikis and mugs
- Astronomcal layout and other temple fundamentals, i.e. tapa cloth, bamboo trimmings,
- Magic potions and other communal brews.
- Sacraficial meals of outstanding tastes all arranged exoticly,
- Appropriately dressed ambassadors of the religion, i.e think how the Old Beverly Hills Trader Vics servers used to dress,
- Eye candy, plain and simple, i.e. nets outriggers, glass bulbs, war clubs, etc.
This formula works and has mass appeal.
I can think of a certain chain that has embraced certain aspects of this list and is doing quite well.
Rainforest Cafe? They have at least 8 on this list.
