Well, to stay off- and on-topic (butt-rubbing-wise), Manuel and I are having dinner there on Friday for his birthday.

I've been keeping him away from this thread, so he's in for a surprise... as far as he knows, the new Luau is an Asian-fusion desecration of past tiki glory, as was reported earlier, before things really took shape.

But the photos here look incredible... Bamboo Ben has done an outstanding job... A few weeks ago, I took a peek in the front door and I was blown away by what I saw. I've been dying to get a better look since then... can't wait until Friday!

Oh, also, thanks Trader Tom! I was poking around on the internet looking for info on the opening of the Luau, and found nothing until I checked here and found what I wanted, including a phone number!

So hopefully, this will be another step toward returning Los Angeles' status as a Tiki Mecca!!!
