$14 mai tais!

Yeah, you'd think they were in a high rent district or something.

On the bright side Unga, no flaming drinks for you to worry about! :)

aren't the Mai Tais in EmmeryVille $14.

I know its a bit of money, but I'd rather Pay 12 to 15 bucks for a great drink. than 6 to 8 bucks for a horrible drink.

(most the time)you get what you pay for.

My argument has always been a Trader Vic's drink is better than 2 drinks somewhere else so I don't mind.

I asked John about the price of a Mai Tai. It hasn't been set yet. I too would like to see a high quality Mai Tai offered like the $100.00 Mai Tai that the Bum suggests. $14.00 will be a bargain for their Mai Tai as John informs me that the bar manager he is hiring is a true mixologist and will only use fresh ingredients and good rum. ZPersonally I agree with Boris, I will pay more for quality.
The hula dancers will more than make up for the extra if there is any. I also heard that they have the ultimate consultant for TVLA. I'm not sure if I can tell it now so I'll wait for an OK but believe me when I say, everyone who reads this will be excited when I do.

Tim, yes if you are thinking who I am thinking of, the advisor is probably THE BEST IN THE WORLD hands down.

gee, who might THAT be ?

A celebrated author on the subject of tiki, perhaps ?

I don't know anything, i'm just guessin'.

And I'm not saying yet. They also have one of the Tiki carving masters to do the Tiki! Guess who?

The website has an email address posted for sending contact info to pre-order the mug. Is this still in effect? I sent off my info last week but I haven't heard from anyone.

Vic Bergeron would be proud.

got mine and it's very cool....i'm a sucker for those raised letters on tiki mugs with the name of the place on it....

Mine arrived in time for Christmas. Great mug... Love the raised letters and the white glaze inside. Nice and heavy too.
Aloha,

Flaming... Beef... CHO - CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs...!

Please.

And I'll try to love again...

S :wink: K

I was there recently and had both their flaming cocktail in a Tiki Mug, as well as the flaming chocho as the pupu. There was hula, too!

Amazing and wonderful time. I felt as if I was at a Luau, but better as it is here at home, and more Tiki!

Looks like the Trader Vic's Los Angeles is closed...again. Now they are down to just 3 US locations.
