My wife and I were frequent visitors to Preston kealohas "taste of the Islands". kealohas was indeed tiki lite but the grinds were very good, the Mai Tai quite tasty and the place definitely had an island vibe.
The last 3-4 visits we noticed a change in the air and Preston was nowhere to be seen. He's a good host and alway's stopped to chat. Our menu favorites were becoming increasingly unavailable and new faces were bringing "hot buffalo wings"and other new menu items for the patrons to sample.we were reading the writing on the wall and hoping against hope.
I wish that I could have gone to the farewell but ironically we were in Honolulu (Preston's hometown) on Sunday.i hope a tc'er got the hula girl. He also had a suffering bastard mug on the bar back that I tried many times to buy from him to no avail.
Btw,there use to be one or two tv'so -last visit we counted ten. The Friday and Sat. Hawaiian music(live band) was no mo. So much for change-gonna miss em!
