it does not have to be rainforest cafe to appeal to folks

This thread is somewhat of an embarrassing moment. Rainforest Cafe? What that hell what I thinking?!? I absolutely despise Rainforest Cafe. But, one of my points then was that when you put a description of it down on paper, RFC and themed Tiki restaurants of yore look vaguely similar, but of course with some major desirable differences.

As far as I'm concerned, I agree that as long as the atmosphere (what you see and what you hear) is right and the drinks are right, I'm not too concerned with what the food offerings are. That's just me, but foodies will have a different view naturally.

And yes, in a modern perspective, Thatch gets it right. Certainly no pretension to haute cuisine there. They get the atmosphere, the music and, by and large, the drinks right. The food served is in a supporting role and does that job very well. And that's all I really ask.
