When given the choice of Smuggler's Cove OR Tonga Room, always choose Smuggler's Cove. But Tonga Room has definitely improved the drink quality in the past year or so. They hired a new F&B guy that has completely revamped the cocktail list and ingredients. Gone are the "Finest Call" bottles that used to line the back bar. They even include on their menu a recipe from Martin Cate. As for the food, the happy hour buffet fare remains the same, but my most recent actual dinner there was definitely much better than my only other dinner experience several years ago. I vote for giving it another try for dinner, then leave before the band starts (you'll thank me for that), then head to Smuggler's Cove for the best service, variety, and quality, oh ... and the rum!
