I'm pretty sure it's the place that stirred within me the love of Tiki. I don't recall that our family went there more than a handful of times, but it was always a huge treat. I remember it being a completely exotic, mysterious hideaway with dark rock, lush foliage and strange wooden carvings. I went there for the last time in the mid 1980s for a wedding party and was a little disappointed by the menu, and wondered whether the decor and ambiance I'd remembered from my childhood had been changed over the years.
