Pacific Andy:

I'm not a restauranteur, and while I presume there is a valid financial reason why Tahiti closed, I would think the proximity of the Grove\Farmer's Market and theaters would attract potential patrons.

Of the Grove's 3 restaurants (in my opinion), only Madame Wu's would qualify as a destination restaurant. The french bistro and Cafe Marmalade are pleasant enough and have tasty cuisine, but neither are worth an immediate trip back, unless your arms are full of shopping bags, whereas the seafood cusine and South Seas tiki ambience of Tahiti would warrant repeat visits.

However, what does your friend predict?
Is the unique tiki decor and the 3rd Street restaurant row location (Linq, Sushi Roko, Cava) make it an attractive option for purchase and reopening?

Regarding a TC owned tiki restaurant, I'll take out a 2nd mortgage on my condo to pitch in!
