"If the bars that are currently found wanting were actually perfect in every other way, but had one lone monkey (wearing a fezz on which a parrot was resting) in the corner somewhere, would we even have this thread?" See the Kahiki had "tiki" lots of it from Mexico, and it by itself was not that great, but altogether it was great. "Are the monkeys just symptomatic of the whole "tiki devolution" trend?" I think yes. It's all getting away from realistic and going towards cartoony.
