It pretty much lived up to the description here on TC. I'll be posting an detailed review on Locating Tiki later tonight or tomorrow. But in summary: Food: good (dishes were a little bland) Drinks: strength ok, authentic recipes - negative Atmosphere: the most tiki I've seen in RI. Matting on some walls, bamboo dividing rooms in some areas, thatch roofs here and there, very cool hanging lamps, tiki outside (above entrance), and two tikis in the bar. Definitely locals in the bar area - but no attitudes to be found. Service: Excellent - I don't hand that kind of rating out often but our server (her name escapes me) was very friendly and quick. Basically if you're in RI and need a tiki fix, this is the place to go. Pappy and Leah I hope you guys had a great time last night. Keith and I certainly did. Oh yeah, I grabbed a shot of the tikis in the bar and will post them later. Hope we didn't fill you with too much dread about your upcoming addition to the family. Kids really are fun to raise (right now mine are literally crawling up my back as I write this). Well back to being a responsible parent! Aloha! JohnMan
