Roosevelt Blvd. City:Key West State:FL Zip:33040 country:USA Phone:305-296-7277 Status:defunct Description: I am sad to report that Key West's Hukilau is past redemption. It had been sitting idle for many years. The building has been torn down and they are constructing condos on the site. My mother reports that the 10" concrete tiki that watched over the parking lot has been rescued. I don't remember the details about where it ended up, I believe in the upper keys. I can't really give a good description of the place, as when I lived in the Keys, I was too young to patronize the place. It was a long-standing KW institution, which, like many others, has succumbed to development. From what I've heard, they didn't use a souvenir tiki mug. More like one of the Benihana Buddha mugs.
