Nice effort, but you bartender doesn't know what a Mai Tai is? I'm tired of the level of service that is available out there. I would pay extra for a proper drink. The Purple Orchid to me was not tiki. There was no Exotica or Hawaiian music on the juke box, what's up with that? Pool tables and television, looks more like sports bar tiki. I'll go there again the next time Iam in the South Bay just to check again, but other than the ceramics, there was not much to appreciate. Cheers, KT
