I have been meaning to post a more extensive review, but I'll do the short version here.

I had dinner at Don the Beachcomber last weekend, after the Bamboo Ben Pool Party. Dtb has really raised the bar! Both food and service were excellent! The special was a fish from Fiji and it was cooked perfectly and very delicious. Better still were the DRINKS! They have added new drinks to the menu, including a Missionary's Downfall, Doctor Funk, Three Dots and a Dash and even the Reverb Crash! They also changes the Mai Tai slightly and it was really good! Better, in fact, than I think it was when Don's was still open back in the 80s. I had the 3 dots and a dash and I was very impressed. Very good! I am looking forward to my next "sippin safari" there to sample even more.

Me too! I went after Ben's "pool" party too with 2 friends. We weren't aware that we "crashed" a b-day party in the bar, but the b-day boy was really nice- (he even gave us aloha necklaces as souveniers). We had to wait 10 minutes before our server came- cause he was the only one in there at the time, but it was fine. I had the Mai- Tai first- which was pretty tasty, but the Missionary's Downfall was a SUPER hit with out table. So were the Ahi Poke Tacos and Sweet Potato Fries!. We left a HUGE tip because our server became the Bartender mid-shift. Plus you can't beat the Half price drinks and Pupu's for happy hour in the bar :) - Rosered
