When I (just RECENTLY) heard about the existance of Kahiki Moon my eyes opened WIDE! I needed to know more, only to learn after a brief search, that this wonderful establishment was no more. My search unveiled a food menu, which made my mouth water, and a list of drinks that litterally had me salivating to the point that I had to stop my search, and, MIX SEVERAL of Dons' coconut rums. After downing several drinks, I resumed my search..... I was fortunate; I started unearthing photos..... I had hit the MOTHERLOAD! This place seemed so CLASSY, GOD KNOWS the decor was "DEAD-ON". All the while I kept wondering to myself, "What POSSIBLY could have gone wrong, that this clearly GREAT place wouldn't make it and die within 6 months!?!?" THEN...... I came across a series of photos, and it became clear to me what happened.... first, let me say, I live near a TRADER VICS, I make trips to the MAI KAI regularly, on occasion I enjoy the libations at the HALA KAHIKI in Chicago, and have even enjoyed the LOVE POTION and the COCO LOCO at LEE'S HAWAIIAN ISLANDER in Lyndhurst, and I must say, NOT ONE OF THOSE PLACES would ever consider having a DJ. The pictures I saw, proudly showed "DJ SINISTA" and some other guy calling himself "HASUES" (sp). THAT'S WHAT WENT WRONG! In my (not so humble) opinion, tiki places should have a sense of class. James, I know you put hard work into your place, but, the HALA KAHIKI CLEARLY has a dress code mentioned on the sign on the door BEFORE you go in. Based on how they were dressed, dj sinista, and haseus (sp) wouldn't have even been allowed in to DRINK, much less entertain the crowd. Vic and/or Don would be rolling over in their graves at the thought of someone named "dj sinista" entertaining their patrons. Consider this, when you enjoy your favorite polynesian dishes/drinks, would you rather hear Les Baxter playing in the background, or, some rastafarian wannabe named DJ SINISTA? from the zombie village, TABOO-ISLANDER
