Hey Slacks,

Roy's serves fabulous Hawaiian fusion cuisine at pretty steep prices. I doubt if you will find any tiki there, but it's definitely worth a visit if you are up for a very nice evening out. Their Ahi is amazing! The bar has a very cool aquarium and they make excellent pineapple martini's. I hear their mai tais are good as well but I haven't had the pleasure of sampling one.

Roy's is on the Fashion Island Mall right next to the Hard Rock Cafe, Newport Beach. The Tommy Bahama store and restaurant is also just down the street and I would recommend checking it out for their great bamboo bar, ambience, and decor (more of a Key West/Caribbean vibe). These are all pretty "high falootin" places (I was gonna say hoity-toity, but that's already taken!) but hey, you might not get back anytime soon.

As previously mentioned, The Royal Hawaiian is probably your best bet for Tiki and it's only about 15-20 minutes south on PCH in Laguna. Try a Lapu Lapu. As my friends here will say "you only need one!"

Have a great time!
