It seems that the small owner-operated places are the way to go now.
Very true, and the owner-operated are more deserving. Usually, but not always, When a company is incorporated, corners are cut to save money and to help inflate profit margins.
Trader Vics could use to take some tips from the independent owners of such places like Tiki Ti, Forbidden Island, Purple Orchid, I'd even throw in Bahooka for good measure...They all seem to have the right chemistry to make great bars(and food where applicable), and the prices are all reasonable for what you receive, unlike the present day Vics...
"You get what you pay for" doesn't apply in all circumstances, and TV definately tests that adage...
