Forbidden Island-Alameda

Located on Lincoln Avenue, Forbidden Island is a Tiki Bar in Alameda.  Both Tom and I had been to this bar before but with different levels of appreciation.  While Tom had only been there once and it was enjoyable, I've been there a handful of times and never was happy about the experience.  This review experience was my best time there but they kicked us out early because they wasn't anyone in the bar.  With a limited number of seats, this bar regularly packs them in. With decoration that looks like it came right off the Gilligan's Island set, Forbidden Island offers all kinds of fruity and rum based drinks.  A note about the drinks: Forbidden Island doesn't offer any drinks with strawberries.  The waitress told us that since strawberries have a short shelf life, they don't use them there.  We found this out when Tom tried to order a strawberry daiquiri.
