Nautical/Tiki restaurant with steak and seafood. Lots of bamboo around the restaurant to give that Tiki feel. Only a few Tiki drinks on the menu but a very good Mai Tai. The bar area is crowded (probably due to a nightly Happy Hour) and has that Tiki Bar feel. Good food and great service.

Not a tiki bar per se, but apparently the oldest restaraunt in Santa Monica. My wife and I enjoyed sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender. The chili was good. Not many original drinks, or a mug though unfortunately.

The Galley is certainly a nautical more than tiki location but if you are in the area it is not to be missed. It does feel like a bit of history with fair food and drink.
