Hey snowbound, welcome to TC.
I strongly suggest that if you are making the 7-hour drive for Tiki, that you make a side trip to also experience Hala Kahiki. Not to take away from the Zuziak clan's achievement with Tiki Terrace, but HK is one of Tikidom's national treasures. If you want inspiration for your own home Tiki paradise, HK will definitely inspire you.
Hope to see you there.
Hey Scott - I'll be soming out by myself for the TC gathering on Thursday, so if the reservations are tight, you can free up a slot.
My pal from LA and I will be there on Wednesday - see ya then!

Fellow T-C folk,
I have to reneg my reservations from Thursday to Sunday as it will be the only time that I will be able to visit the Terrace together w/ my wahine. I'm still excited about going but we were sorry to have to miss the TC night to meet and hang w/ other tikiphiles.
So have big fun and much ALOHA to you all until we can arrange and have another meetup.
~be excellent to each other, and . . . ~

I had the honor of being there tonight. One word. Kupaianaha! Was great to meet up again with the legendary JT and was great to see Pat from the talented Penthouse Playboys. Can't wait to see you on Dec 2. Mostly, it was great to finally meet Scott and Phil. You guys have created a marsterpiece! For those who are in, or happen into the Chicago area, this place is a definate must.

We didn't forget our camera to such important event. We visited on Wed Nite. Scott and his family have done a great job in four months. I love the stage area with the flaming volcanoes even with out the smoke machine. The veggie chips, fruit Salsa and pineapple/? dip where yummy, but the slice of star fruit with blob of coconut pudding topped with a candied ginger strip was incredible. We went with longtime friends Momtiki and Dadtiki. I tried going flash-less that night so some of the pic maybe a little creative. Wonderful time and a great tiki-full place. Another great mid America winter wonderland tiki oasis. This will be great to go in January when the temps are in the single digits with a wind chill in the negative digits. Good luck and good day,

Congrats to the Tiki Terrace Ohana on a job well done! Good luck with everything! The decor was beautiful!
Here's some pictures I took...
I like the wall of moai...
Here's the great little hut we sat in... this area can be rented out for parties and has fountains on each side and tv monitors to view the live entertainment...
