It used to be that Tiki-Ti was the only place in So Ca to have it both ways, i.e. genuine Tiki history as well as fantastic tropical cocktails. 2009 will go down in Tiki history as the year we added both the Tonga Hut and DTBC (which should really still be named Sam's Seafood) to that list. Actually I think the Tonga Hut vibes the best in overall Tiki atmosphere and decor (discounting DTBC's additional role and size as a restaurant). BTW, how come the TH drinks can't be Kelly quality or Grog Log recipe all the time? The drinks at Tiki-Ti have been consistent for decades and whenever I order from a different bartender at DTBC, it's always great (Thanks Marie !). Just asking. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2009-11-21 10:18 ] Well???? Easy, it's not my Bar and I don't premix my secret recipes in the back for future use when I'm not there for that reason. However,!! the Tonga Hut has given me free rein to make Amazing Tiki Drinks as I please and has supplied any and all Rums and ingredients that I need or request! Reason?? To please all of you! So, please, come in and have a Cocktail! All Bartenders will mix a cocktail from the "Grog Log" with amazing results But, there is a Awesome "Tonga Hut" Cocktail Menu and the T.H. is going to be adding some new cocktails to it in the next few weeks and yes, some will be HipHiPaHula's recipes. Tonga Hut Cocktails are to NO longer be under rated and are made with Great consistency every time by all Bartenders with Top Shelf ingredients, the best Rums, Cane Sugar products, hand crafted products, fresh squeezed citrus and all the little things it takes to make a great cocktail. "HAVE YOU TRIED A TONGA HUT COCKTAIL LATELY?" Come in this weekend and try one! Tiki Party all weekend!4-8pm. Much of TC in on Sunday 4:00pm SEE YOU THEN! I think it's hilarious that despite the TH making strong efforts to please TC folks, especially with kelly making all this effort to make kick ass drinks...there is always one dissatisfied person out there. "YEAH WELL....______ IS BETTER THAN TONGA HUT SO NYUH! >P" Oh please. :lol: You rawk Kelly :D
