Today I must publicly announce the unfortunate news that Kahiki Moon Restaurant & Lounge has closed its doors. It's clear that if Kahiki Moon had been realized in a bigger metropolis this post would not need to be made. Thank you all for you vocal support. **Here is the announcement in the local paper: The beach party is over at Kahiki Moon in downtown Burlington. The restaurant's creator and co-owner James Kathary confirmed that the tiki lounge closed its doors last week, less than six months after it opened in July. The Polynesian-style restaurant and bar struggled to communicate its unique concept and with its somewhat hidden location in the basement of One Lawson Lane. "I'm not a restaurant guy. What I am is a tiki guy," said Kathary. "I created an authentic tiki environment, but it was just too much for this town." Still, Kathary added, "I do want to say thanks -- or 'mahalo, Burlington.'"
