Tilted Kilt

Anyone know when the new Tilted Kilt will be opening up in Winter Park and if so we should try to plan a kilt even to help them open the new location.

I am in for that. The Kilts of Florida will try to plan an organized Kilted night out there to show our support and get them on their way. I went to the one in St Pete and the food and service was very good, and that's what we look for in an outing.

Sanddog28 are you planning on attending the get together tonight at the Fiddlers Green at 6:30pm? Please do if you can, all are welcome!

Going back to the subject of "kilts as costumes", I find this place horribly degrading. The waitresses are caricatures. The costumes are cheap knockoffs of Scotland's national dress.

I accidently found myself in a Tilted Kilt about a month ago, having never heard of the chain, and abruptly about faced out the door.

Last spring, the Tilted Kilt in Palm Springs was opening. Found the most straightforward thing to do was telephone the establishment and ask when they planned on opening. Remember to take pictures and post them here!

Well I guess some of us are more open minded about what the young ladies are wearing, and remember that they are waitresses"wearing a costumns" not real " KILTS. " I don't mind them at all, I have have never once heard any of them refer to their dress as being the REAL THING! As long as the FOOD is good and the service is the same, I don't really care what they wear!

Just my 2 cents worth.

I decided to give this place a second shot. I went to the Bakersfield TK on Friday night. The bartender was wearing a black casual kilt, with the apron twisted off to his left, and the bottom of the kilt four inches below his kneecap. We left after one beer. I realize this is a "theme" restaurant, and that the employees are just wearing a uniform, with no idea what the actual dress is supposed to look like, but I couldn't stay.

I see that at my local TK, I'll give them some pointers sometimes. "Hey man, hike up that kilt, let's see them knees, see, like this". That would have been a good way to make friends with the bartender.

I agree the best way to educate is not with a hammer, but with a friendly hand. Theirs is a theme restaurant. Let's just enjoy the atmosphere
and stop being a kilt purist. Let me know when the opening night, I'll be there to enjoy the first pint. That's right, Im calling for a kilt night!int:

Some people just can't get past themselves.

As has been stated in other posts, it is just a uniform.

I am sure you would want someone to help you along if you were not wearing the kilt properly.

Help others, and you will find that the world is a better place to live.

Were you a pro when you started?
