I've been going and having a couple appetizers and a couple Mai Tais (calimari, and the baked brie). Note that the bar/appetizer menu has MORE appetizers listed than the table/entree menu. Also ask for the drink menu which is a 3rd menu. The $4 Mai Tais are plain, decent, Trader Vics Mai Tais. But for a bit extra you can ask for the Mai Tai "The Old Way" and you will get a Mai Tai which is noticably more tasty. I'm not entirely sure how much more, as I'd already had a couple Mai Tais :) and the receipt was a bit confusing. The bill had 3 - $4 Mai Tais, then 1 - Open Liquor for $5, then 2 - Open Liquors for $1 each. I think there were only 3 Mai Tais involved though, 2 of which were the Old Way. Thursday night also has a live quartet which sets up around 7:30-8'ish. The first night I went there was so-so, typical new age jazz, but the this week they seemed to have wised up and were playing Girl From Impanema and other similar songs.
