Actually I doubt that the Grove's opening is what drove Tahiti down. They teach in Marketing 101 that businesses actually tend to thrive more when they have conmpetition nearby - i.e. the premise that when people think pet stores - they think "hmmm there are 3 pet stores in that mall... i'll go there as opposed to the mall where they only have 1.' Our experience at the restaurant was that the food was just ok and a bit high-priced and so it was not at the top of our repeat list. Also, the bar did not give me a warm and fuzzy vibe - maybe it was the music or sports tv? So although there was a lot of potential for making it into a 'real' hang ala tiki ti - it seemed like a faux one. Whatever happens - i hope that the animated hula girl neon sign is salvaged - it was a highlight on the Museum of Neon Art Tour.
