Yeah, you would have balance out the bar to restaurant, but plenty of bars do that - but I guess my point is TV's is too fixated on being a restaurant (a middling one at that) instead of just being a great bar that happens to serve some flaming Pu-Pu on the side. Frankly, as much as I kept trying the main dining room, the best food I had at the Dallas TV's was stuff on their bar menu! That's why we talk about tiki bars, not tiki restaurants (well, mostly)!
