I stopped by here while visiting family. Fish and Chips were okay but not really worth 14 bucks. Everyone else liked their food.

I had a navy grog - it may have used the TV's navy grog mix or something because it wasn't close to my homemade Beachbum Berry Remixed recipe. It was sweeter and much darker - more than from the rum. Not the worst, though.

Next, I tried the Mai Tai which was on special - again, it was pretty dark and had an artifical taste. By the way, both were quite powerful so I don't feel like I have perfect judgement.

The decor was annoying but had some great pieces. It was as if you could make one awesome tiki bar 1/4th its size with all that cool stuff and throw the rest out.

I grabbed a Trader Vic's Moai bowl for $29 out of the case. It is brown on brown with a thick glaze that takes away a lot of the detail. No markings anywhere. The hula/drunk guy bowl was $28 but didn't seem to have the three ladies holding it up. They have the S&P for $10 which is a great deal except I already have a set.
