There are plenty of places with great food and service, just no tiki. ie: Outback....great service almost every time....plenty of warm bread , good appetizers, good food....no tiki. Their Mai Tai is GODAWFUL tho'. Glad I was able to sway your opinion a bit. My good deed for the day :) Support your local Tiki establishment.

Great argument Tikiyaki.
