I'm surprised some of the tiki purists haven't started crapping all over this since it for sure isn't dark and moody. Plus, windows! I'm sometimes okay with windows, if it's view of the ocean/water (e.g. Trader Vic's Emeryville) and also am not always against more modern feel. This does look sterile, though. Hopefully it's better in person or when there are people there rather than empty restaurant shots.
