After the delayed service from New Years when it was Kona, I had a feeling I should grab food before and get an appetizer if possible. I was right. Being new is one thing, but having to be hit with so many people when your staff isn't quite up to speed is a whole other thing. I will say though, what I did have was amazing. The teriyaki chicken from the kids menu was fantastic and not at all dumbed down for kids... my son practically licked the bowl clean of the sauce. The spicy chicken soup actually was spicy (you never know what 'spicy' means on menus) and felt home made. I had a Mai Tai (and for those complaining about them... remember the Trader Vic's Mai Tai is a very different beast than Don's Mai Tai... they went to court over it if you remember your tiki history...) which I loved the variation, though either I have a tolerance of a bull or they were a little shy with the rum. The bartender was slammed and looked like he had fear in his eyes, so I think its fair to say nothing that night should be taken as the definitive experience.

I will definitely continue to sample their efforts encouraging them in every sip I take!
