Perfect Mai Tai ~ San Diego

Pages: 1 7 replies

we had dinner at The Tractor Room, a decidedly non-tiki restaurant, but where my husband found a Perfect Mai Tai, and a very good Zombie.

pictures of our entrees and desserts are on my myspace page.

Is that red thing the Mai Tai?

no Jason, the "red thing" is the zombie.

Glad you found a mai tai that y'all enjoyed. At least they were close to the original recipe. It seems that 99% of the bars I have visited throw a blend of fruit juice in a mug and float Myers on top for a mai tai. The place looks a bit kitschy for me though. I have a very snobby pet peeve towards anything served in a martini glass that's called a "martini." At least they make a ramos fizz...good for breakfast.

Great find - thanks for sharing.

It is actually a MUCH better cocktail menu than I would expect to find in a place called "The Tractor Room", but I guess that saying is true about a book and it's cover.

It's the same owners as the infamous Hash House a Go Go, known for the biggest and best breakfasts in San Diego. http://www.hashhouseagogo.com/

I ate there for the first time a few weeks ago, and they really do seem to care about their cocktail menu. I had their Marilene Kiss - Yummy.

Thank god! It looks like the mai tais my oh-so-not-tiki neighbors served on New Years Eve. A red mai tai is always a bad sign. Thanks for clearing that up!

I still think Bali Hai had the best Mai Tai's in San Diego.

They are very strong but are great, and have perfect ice.

Great pics dogbytes!
