Given this information, I am even less enthusiastic about going back than I had been previously. It doesn't surprise me to hear all of this, really, having seen the place. As my review said, the food there is great, but the drinks blow and all the Tiki is in the little bar on the balcony. I'd think of it as a good place to eat if you're stuck in Schaumburg, with the bonus attraction of a few Tikis. It's insulting to see someone attempt to cash in on Tiki by treating it as no more than the trend du' jour. Unfortunately, the neo-Tiki bars that are anything other than this are very, very few and far between.
