Here's my thought. We have lots of discussions about tiki bars and starting something wonderful. But what about a restaurant? As has been stated before, many people go to a Polynesian restaurant maybe only once a year. But, what if the food was ethnically driven, i.e. Thai, Asian, Mexican, Chinese, etc? What if the tiki joint was an American Steak and Seafood House with a South Pacific theme?

I'm thinking something like "South Seas Prime Steak and Seafood". Wouldn't a concept like that bring in more regular customers while allowing the restaurant to present a tiki - south seas theme.

And the bar - you certainly could have fun with that.

I am thinking about this because I love Steak Houses. LG's, the Chop House in Palm Desert, Ruth Chris's, and to some extent, Morton's. All of these serve over-the-top foods, but they seem to be missing something in atmosphere. It's like they can't match their surroundings to the goodness of their steaks.

If I had the money and the willingness of my wife, I'd purchase the restaurant by the Caliente Tropics and turn it into a Steak and Seafood House.

I love the name - South Seas Prime Steak and Seafood House.
