"Generic island motif" was run into the ground as of the late 1980's. It just never cast the same spell as the South Seas enchantment of the tiki era. It's become as tired and boring as the 80's Applebee's-style fern bar. True Tiki had 40 good years in the heyday. That Carribean crap was cliche in about 5 years. The style was lame, the drinks were lame, the music was lame, and the whole thing geared to the lowest common denominator. Bob Marley? Jimmy Buffett? Man...I'd need the pot and the margarita just to fight the depression of listening to any more of that garbage. Visit the Mai Kai soon and take notes.
