I want little nooks and cozy spaces in a tiki bar, not a big hard surfaced warehouse feel. Even at the quite large Trader Vic's in Emeryville, the little nook at the back end of the bar area is the space everyone gravitates to if your party is small enough. Jen, this is what the Trader Vic's in Portland Oregon has done well. They've got a corner lot, but they've broken up the space with organic/tropical themed dividing elements. You're in a large restaurant, but depending on where you choose to be seated, you can have a very intimate evening at your table, even if you're at the bar.
