If you want to cross if off your "must visit list", then go. You won't have a bad time, and if it's a nice day, it's great to sit outside and try to imaging what it used to be like, but it's nothing like going to a much better place like Tiki-Ti or Tonga Hut. It's also NOTHING like the Emeryville one! Totally different vibe, much more akin to a "hotel", than a restaurant/bar.
