Trader Vic's Sarasota RIP - General Tiki

R robotiki Tiki Socialite Florida Joined: Jul 01, 2009 Posts: 223	R robotiki Posted posted on Mon, Sep 16, 2013 9:01 AM I bought most of the best TV tiki stuff they had (see my separate thread about that), the two signature tikis and most all the smaller tikis that were not of the gift shop variety. Some of my friends snapped some stuff up too, though I imagine there are a few Indonesian tikis and some of the chicklet tooth Florida style tikis left. I can't imagine another restaurant going in there. There have been 4 or 5 there before, each failing miserably. The location is bad and the zoning there restricts signage so small you can't see it from the road. It was doomed before it opened. The owners mentioned it becoming a medical office. Being close to other medical complexes, that might not be a bad idea. Robotiki Mira Mar League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [ Edited by: robotiki 2013-09-16 09:02 ]
