I had a (Tropical) Itch and a few mai tais. The drinks were alright, but I was really impressed with some of the ingredients that they had on hand. I tried the Mai Tai Degeneres, strictly because of it's usage of Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur. The bartender also had no problem with subbing Appleton for Bacardi(at no charge) which I thought was cool. They mentioned at least 3 specialty off-the-menu drinks while I was there, so with the TV and Don's mai tais you mentioned, they could pretty much include an addendum to their cocktail menu. Great view, but you're right when you say the drinks ain't cheap...
