I would be happy if they opened one of these TV's B&G places here. We have nothing that resembles tiki in the slightest. I would rather have a Forbidden Island or Don the Beachcombers here, but I doubt that would happen. Being that Sacto is a college town, this new concept would catch on. Maybe a few would get into the tiki scene, maybe others would try a full-on TV's if they were near one. I would just like to have a good mai tai near a tiki in a bar. With friends.

TV's is part of a dying breed of restaurants where service came first. Too bad. But if the B&G is what keeps the chain afloat and introduces newer generations to TV's then I'm all for it.

But I do wish it was more tiki than Margaritaville.

But beggars can't be choosers. So bring on the watered down TV's!! Open a TV's B&G in Sacramento! Maybe other chains will start tikifying if they see TV's new concept catching on! It's not replacing our old Trader Vic's, but adding to the whole genre. It's tiki for the masses, but it's better than no tiki!
