"MISTER TIKI's Mai Tai Lounge will finally, open in Spring of 2004. The restaurant design is a collaboration between the Cohns and noted San Diego Designer JLorene Gage. JLorene worked with us on the design for Kemo Sabe, Indigo Grill and Blue Point. All of our designs have incorporated the work of local artists and MISTER TIKI will be no exception. As it turns out, San Diego is a hot bed of Tiki culture and Tiki artisans. MISTER TIKI will feature more than a dozen custom Tiki Gods and masks carved by San Diego County's own Bosko Hrnjak http://www.tikibosko.com/about_bosko.htm. I'm very excited about our All-Star management Team at MISTER TIKI. Jonathan Hale, our Executive Chef at Blue Point will also serve as Executive Chef at MISTER TIKI. Jon lived in Hawaii for 8 years and was Executive Chef at A Pacific Cafe in Maui. Our Chef de Cuisine will be Hawaii native, Jesse Cruz. Jesse was most recently the opening Chef for Jean-Marie Josselin at 808 at the Aventine. He also worked with Jean-Marie at 808 in Vegas as well as Valentino's and Roy's. Our General Manager, Christopher Cooke, has worked with our Group for the past 3 years at various locations. Prior to joining the Cohn Restaurant Group, Chris was formerly a Manager with Wolfgang Puck and Scott's Seafood. A sampling of MISTER TIKI's menu includes BBQ "Polehu" Ribs, "Ka-lua" Pork Potstickers, Trio of "Bao-Bao" Buns, Peking Duck Eggroll, Poke Platter, Hot n' Sour Duck Soup, Crab Crusted Mahi-Mahi, Shrimp Chow Mein and Pineapple Pork "Pago Pago". The TIKI BAR will offer a variety of signature tropical rum drinks (with tacky umbrellas, of course) as well as Mai Tais, Stingers, Zombies and Navy Grogs served in retro Tiki glassware."
