I hope this location does well and sticks around for decades.

I'll go whenever possible, but that's not often, as I live a good two hours away. Will patrons with memories of the old location, like the guy Numatiki spoke of, keep it going? That'll help, I suppose. Does this concept need the 20 somethings to catch on to it? Will conference attendees support it? Is there substancial residential in the neighborhood? I've never learned how big city restaurants get and maintain high volume. I suppose there's lots of people, so build a good reputation and they will come.

There are many more run-down, low volume, Asian themed restaurants with a little tiki than there are quality tiki establishments like Trader Vic's, and I certainly prefer Trader Vic's. I like what they're doing. I hope it does well.

well i hope to see you there sometime....and the first lousy mai tai is on me!!! :)
