Sam's reopening! This is all too cool. I was so bummed about what was happening to all the LA tiki restaurants. I would go to my basement tiki bar and wonder if I was a dinosaur caring about this stuff. But now it's like that was all a bad nightmare.

Yes! That is such good news! Whoohooo!
And has anyone heard anything about the Royal Hawaiian reopening? I drove past there recently and there was a sign outside stating that it will be reopening after renovations. Hopefully this will mean double the good news of Sams coming back...

There have been a few posts in the Royal Hawaiian thread the last week or so:

But no first hand reports of late. Mainly just drive-by's like yourself asking the same question.

I know it was mentioned that Sam's was reopening on the weekend of the 17th, but is that a firm date? I'm going to be in SoCal this weekend and it bums me if I'm going to miss the reopening by one week. But I'll be back!

Oh, somehow I missed the Royal Hawaiian thread...but still, at least Sam's will be back.
You all had a going away party, maybe you can have a welcome back party....to sort of bookend the whole thing. Just a thought.
Well, back to watching the Hawaiian Eye...

This is great news. My wife and I decide to make the two hour drive there for the first time last year, and just our luck, they had just closed. So I'm thrilled they will be reopening. How often does one get a second chance.

The wife and I went to sams yesterday and they are not open yet. The folks said around st.patties day, but no such luck. The outside is painted a dark green with orange trim, I liked it, the wife gave it the stink-eye!.The inside that I could see looked maybe halfway done , bit damn nice!......Good things take time.

I called Sam's yesterday and got their voicemail. All it said is they are doing Spring cleaning and are open for catering only. The wife and I ara really looking forward to the grand opening.
Mahalo,

I can't tell you all how happy this makes me. When my Hubby and I drove past Sam's in Nov./Dec. and saw the "For Sale" sign....Well, we thought for sure there would be some new Condos going up soon.
SOOOO glad to be wrong.
We'll be there with shells on for the re-opening!

Good job with the phone call Tikiatt. I can't wait until Sam's is open again.
