Hey Murph!

Manuel and I went there with Krisdrama and Capt. HR Falernum a couple months ago for lunch... Their veggie burger is quite delish!

The drinks are not spectacular, but mine, a Painkiller-esque "Fantasy Island", was tasty. Manuel and Chris were disappointed in their Bloody Marys, sent 'em back and ordered something else.

I think there's one actual tiki in the place. I read a review that described the atmosphere as more Lilo & Stitch than Trader Vic's, which is pretty accurate... Modern Hawaiian, if you will.

The same review also went on to say that their Mai Tai was too sweet (it's the basic orange juice/pineapple juice/grenadine abomination) and that the reviewer would prefer a Damon's Mai Tai.
Now THAT made me laugh.

I actually want to go back for the veggie burger!
