My first choice location, and I’ve been thinking about it for a while, is to put a nice TV on the top of the new International Place in Waikiki. The top floor is reserved for high-end big restaurants and two recently closed because, to be honest, there are too many high-end restaurants up there. The rent or lease must be over the top. Business wise, this sounds like a bad proposal but I propose this for two reasons, the important one is (and this is important to me) I hated what the new IMP did, replacing the old one, BUT this is what they should to to help put Tiki back into the new International Market Place! A new large and modern exposed steel beam and glass A-frame outrigger should be erected in the front of it and it would be the new signature restaurant at the current IMP. The other surviving restaurants are doing well but they don’t say Hawai'i’i nor Pacific, this is what the tourist want. Second reason and granted not a good or sound reason is my hunches seem to do well. I wanted to put a nice Tiki venue in Dubai years ago and look what happen. Problem, as usual, is money. I’m just an average dude with an average wallet, but we all can dream.
