See, now this is just getting into the realm of totem swinging.

You may have been a general contractor on some of this project, but the press releases (going out to media in the links above) and various current employees say otherwise.

What you were working off of could have very well changed. Especially since I was at the opening and had talked to Andrew Meieran about the plans for that top floor. So I think I'll take the word of the building owner.

Yet another from the DT News quoting Maieran as well;

The fourth floor holds the Treetops bar and lounge; the design is Art Deco, with the redwood replica’s needle-like leaves creating a canopy overhead. Through a nearby doorway is a tiki bar named Pacific Seas. Decorations include a 1939 Chris Craft boat and tiki pieces from Bahooka restaurant in Rosemead, which closed in 2013. Meieran said he expects to open the bars and an American steakhouse menu on the floor by the end of the year.

But hey, why the fuck not take the word of a contractor as fact over the owner himself...

How about this, we stop this pointless back and forth and put money where thy mouth is. When it's open, if the steak house, which why the fuck even bring that up or attempt to correct someone on a Tiki forum?!, if it's on the floor you say it is, the third, then I'll buy you a steak dinner and round of tiki drinks. But equally, if the steak house is on the floor I, employees and even the building owner state it is, the adjacent door from the tiki bar on that top floor, then you buy me a steak and a round of tiki drinks.

Enough of this tiki drama, as Bamboo Ben would put it, there's no room for such silly back and forth - FACT. I was simply reporting what multiple employees and even higher ups who were there to answer questions on that night of the L.A. Conservancy event - and I have no fucking clue as to why they would lie. My guess, at one point that 3rd floor was set to be the steak house, but the plans have changed as multiple sources have pointed out and go against your "FACT"

So hey, up for the wager?
