I will suggest, however, that learning from the mistakes of others can be just as useful as taking honest advice to heart. Point being, Pilikia in Dallas. It's been open two months and I've yet to see a positive review. My writeup here was the most favorable they've received thus far (that I'm aware of) and even that was lukewarm. That doesn't bode well for long-term viability, even allowing that the dedicated tiki crowd makes up only a small portion of their clientele. And I'm glad to hear of Mike's Austin plans. Looking forward to seeing it come to fruition some day!
