I have not chimed in on this till now as I have been in a deep funk, I was so worried that my Tiki Temple, my Mecca was going to the wayside as so many Tiki temples of past. I had my first mixed drink at the bar at Bali Hai in 1959. Okay, it was a Shirley Temple with my folks and I was 4. They had a full Tahitian Revue and I can remember the drums and the colors to this day. We faithfully visited Bali Hai every year till the 70's. (Not to mention every other Tiki and Nautical themed restaurant in So Cal, I come by it naturally, the old man was into Tiki also.)
I cannot describe how relived I am that the restoration is staying on theme. I also am thrilled by the omen that a Tsunami took out the dock. The Tiki gods spoke!
