I'm going to close with this:
I didn't personally write what I felt because I'm hating on the venue. I didn't state my opinion to belittle the Floridians. I simply stated in what I see as a shoddy attempt to bring a TV to Florida. Most people that have been into a TV would agree that this particular TVB&G is only a TV by namesake.

It is scary to me, having actually stepped foot into at least two Authentic TV that they would even consider going this route, as it may very well threaten the existence of the remainder locations. Especially, if this B&G became widely accepted. Since so many of you got overly defensive about something that you have no ownership of, I hope you can be happy with what you get, and I will not chime in on something so "out of the UPS box" again.

Keep playing that Mai Kai card all you can, its about the only thing Florida, including most parts of the United States has in terms of Tiki-Grandness, and it is at the top of the list, at that!

I'll finish and go on record to state that, I just hope that a chain of "Mai Kai, To Go" restaurants don't pop up in my backyard.
I guess we "Left Coasters" are blessed with having a handful of venues to choose from that keep it period correct, and or as authentic as polypop (as it is represented on this site) can be.(It used to be hands and pocketsfull of venues)
Good luck with the McVics.
