John-O & Sven...I concur!

I have very high culinary & cocktail expectations, Which if I apply to any Tiki Bar or restaurant
I would never eat or drink at any of those places, If that was why I went to them.

I never understood all the rave food reviews I hear most of the time, but It's the History, Atmosphere & Social factor
that makes these places great, Now if the Food & Drink is top notch all the better, Many of our Tiki Bars here are substandard
if you judge them only on cocktails alone, But I still love the places, It's not a perfect world.

One of my very favorite places is the "Tonga Room", But don't expect a decent cocktail there, Yet I would not
pass up an opportunity to go, Anytime, "The Bahooka", Great place, But the worst cocktails I have ever had, Still I go whenever I can.

Don's has so much going for it, You just can't write it off.
