Has anyone out there been too/ heard of Bamboo Island in Pleasanton Ca ?
I happened by the place yesterday and was quite surprised to be "greeted" by 2 life size tikis. I had heard of the restaurant, but had also heard it "wasn't Tiki" True, to a point. It has more of a neo-Tropical vibe than a true Neo-Tiki vibe. However, the Tikis and drinks served in Tiki mugs do give it a certain Tipsy factor - pehaps more so than a lot of places often mentioned in Tikicentral.
By the way, the drinks were pretty good and the bar apps (esp the Kulua Pork Quesadilla) was excellent. Mrs Conga Mike and I will be back for dinner some time soon-their Menu looks killer- and will report back.
They were playing Hawaiian music in the dining room and we were told that they have live entertainment (Tahitian dancers/steel drum bands) on the weekends.
In the meanwhile, just wondering if anyone one else has checked it out...
