 As if the setting of San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel isn't dramatic enough, located atop Nob Hill with an almost 360-degree view of the city from the front entrance. The Tonga Room Restaurant & Hurricane Bar is almost as dramatic with its very 1950s kitschy fascination with all things Polynesian---from décor to drinks. Entering the Tonga Room is like stepping into a happy-hour version of Disneyland's The Pirates of the Caribbean. The lights are dimmed to highlight an array of tiki torches which encircle the central pool. A huge raft floats around the pool with a live band belting out top-40 tunes for the lively bar. A couple of times an hour the sound of thunder quakes through the room and a mist drops onto the dance floor. Good thing there is so much entertainment and large, sweet cocktails because the food is not the draw here. Expect the most basic renditions of Pan-Asian favorites like peanut-y chicken satay, wok-fried chow mein, and shrimp and scallop pad Thai. |
