Also, pragmatically speaking, the Mai Kai is on the other side of the country, the Cove in another city, and the Tiki Ti 8 minutes from my house. :) Both you and John O addressed the question in an extremely thoughtful and respectful answer. I appreciate your insight. In truth, I never fail to stop at the Ti when in LA. The quality of drinks there are unimpeachable. When near Sunset Beach, I never fail to stop at Don the Beachcombers for a Rum Barrel. The decor is so refreshing. And, the Tonga Hut is without a doubt a neighborhood bar that goes well beyond the extra-mile. When I speak of gold standard, I refer only to the handcrafted nature of the drinks. I was simply blown away. I love Forbidden Island and regret that I didn't make it there this time. The rain put me off. We in California are fortunate to have so many places to chose from.
