I'm planning to make a reservation but the Tikiyaki flyer says "doors open at six" but if you go look at the "Tiki Art Show Extended" thread, that says doors open at 4pm. Just wondering if anyone here knows if the restaurant is open before 6pm. Is it closed down and only open at 6pm for the show or is the restaurant booking reservations before 6pm? Hi Hanalei pirate... The restaurant opens at 4:00 . The show is in the Banquet room and Hidden Village which are separate from the main dining room.

The show is in the Banquet room and Hidden Village which are separate from the main dining room. Ok, thanks! that give me all the info I need on what's happening where and at what time. I will go ahead and make a reservation. Tikidude - What's the difference between eating in the bar area and the dining room - ambiance? Different menu? At the old Trader Vics in Beverly Hills the bar was a total different experience than the main dining room. (I remember someone saying the Trader Vic's bar menu was different too.) Anyway, I've only been to the old Sam's - once, several years back and don't remember anything about the layout. I think we were just there for some TC thing in the bar area.

Have a great show and we'll make the next Tikiyaki gig for sure. Can't wait till things slow down a bit for us so we can get down to DTB! Terra

Jeff(bigtikidude) Last summer's Tikiyaki show was particularly cool to me because of the reserved dinner seating prior to the room switcheroo. As far as I can recall, the place was pretty packed despite arriving around an hour before Tikiyaki played their first set. Is there any way they could reconsider the reservations? Some of Don's employees are on this board, yes?
T tikiyaki Tiki Socialite The Exotic Port of REDONDO BEACH, CA Joined: May 18, 2004 Posts: 2725	T tikiyaki Posted posted on Tue, Apr 7, 2009 10:23 AM I agree Mambo King. I too prefer, the "dinner show" style of reserved seating, But as we know from reading posts on this board, Kona is still making it's transition to Don's. and with that , all those things like getting the staff, managers and organizers are still getting sussed out. So for this first event as Don's, it was agreed that we keep it simple while the new staff gets put in place and up to speed at DTB. So we have to be patient for that to happen. It's a big Party, so we're just asking everyone to be civil, use your best Aloha spirit, and don't take people's seat - if they appear taken.

Yes, there will be a full wait staff serving dinner and drinks. It's just not reserved seating.
M MamboKing Member Huntington Beach CA Joined: Jun 11, 2003 Posts: 213	M MamboKing Posted posted on Tue, Apr 7, 2009 10:41 AM I guess I don't understand how reserved seating would be a hassle for DTB...I get the part of the changeover from Kona. But I don't see how that works into a problem for DTB.

Well...they'd need an event organizes within the restaurant, who has a list of parties, how many etc...then people want certain seats etc....right now, it's too much to deal with, but hopefully in the future it won't be.

People staked out their seats and then while they were at the bar, others came in and literally picked up and moved their stuff to other tables and took the seats--very uncool!! It turned into a big cluster #$%@.

I mean, an EXOTICA band causing a venue to be fined due to a NOISE complaint? C'mon! They are obviously guilty of playing jungle rhythms to stir up the crowd to steal seats, cut in lines (which is cause for expulsion from the park) & not flush toilets. Shame on them. I submit the "Bad Boys of Exotica" should use this image for their upcoming album.

I submit the "Bad Boys of Exotica" should use this image for their upcoming album. The police were called on them last time. Tikiyaki Orchestra are very bad men! There is no place in sports for a band like that. Jail is where they belong! They are all really violent and crazy, but that Marty Lush is the WORST out of all of them. I never told anyone this story (mostly because I was very embarrassed about it) but when it was still Kona, I was there watching the Tikiyaki Orchestra. I went outside for a smoke break, and I guess I kind of brushed up against someone's car. I mean, very lightly. I hardly touched it. Anyway, to make a long story short, I hear this rough, guttaral voice behind me: "Hey, you touching my car?". It was Marty, but at first I was not sure because he was wearing a hood and dark clothes. I tried to give some response, but before I could even open my mouth he punched me hard in the face. One, twice, again. My 2 front teeth were knocked out (I even swallowed one) and my nose was bleeding horribly. I fell to the ground, where Marty started kicking me. I guess some other of these thug band members came outside to see what the commotion was. Squid and JonPaul started in on me with their boots as well. I had three guys kicking the crap out of me. I tried to go for an ankle take-down on one of them, but these guys were too good. Like they had done this before. So I did what I could to survive, rolling up into a tight ball so my outer muscles would absorb the worst of this prolonged, vicious beating. Somehow during the haze of the furious kicks and blows, I was able to notice Jim Bacchi, sitting on the low wall cooly smoking and watching the whole thing, giving the guys encouragement like "Now kick him in the balls" or "Good! now step on this fingers, break 'em, snap 'em!!". That kind of thing. I cried out "Jim, Jim, what did I do? Please tell them not to hurt me no more!" At that point Jim made a motion with his hands for the guys to stop. He approached me and almost whispered in my ear: " It's $200 a week, EVERY week, from now on, and DON'T make me come looking for ya!!" So like so many others, I have been paying. The only good thing is I no longer have trouble with the Musician's union. They hear that I am with Jim, and they back right off!
