My feeling is: the drinks should be of consistent quality regardless of which hidden bar they emanate from. Maybe a "Master" or two needs to be overseeing the drinks being made at each location to insure consistent quality. A Black Magic ordered at the Molokai bar should be identical to one ordered from one of the dining areas - Just my humble opinion.

AGREED!
But it just doesn't happen that way.
The only place I have found this to be true is at the Tiki Ti, BECAUSE it's under a "controlled environment" or, the owners are the bartenders.
A lot of you guys here at TC are very knowledgeable of your cocktails. that's why your gonna notice these slight changes in what drink you had last time and the drink you're having now. We (at TC) have hit a peak of mixology that where we're actually very spoiled with our drinks and taste! Nothing wrong with that, but we've set our expectations so high at other establishments, that we only "come down harder" when that drink is not a carbon copy drink of what we remember from what the last one was.
The drinks at Mai Kai are great , but you can only dissect a cocktail so far.
If you think your drink or food entree is going to be exactly the same from your last visit, then you have a head for fantasy, because it's just not gonna happen.

Let's just go to the Tiki bar and have fun!

CHEERS!
