I've put in some good hours drinking and eating at Damons and I know a few (non Tiki) people who have been going there for years with their families. I think it's great that they're getting a refresh.

One thing I would say is don't change things so much that you alienate the old school neighborhood clientele. Though I've never understood the Monkeys, or thought they were Tiki (or Steakhouse as kkocka said) they seem to be an integral part of Damons brand - they're on the mugs. I'd personally like something more Tiki but at the same time if feels a bit like replacing big Mo at The Tonga Hut, I just don't see how you do it. And I'm not talking about the stuffed ones in the canoe (I think everyone would be happy to see them go) but just the money motif in general.

Anyway that's my two cents for whatever it's worth. I think it's great that they're revamping a little, means business is good and those strange but refreshing "Mai Tais" and Chi Chi's will keep flowing.
