These places look very similar. When I first moved the Columbus in 1971 theme restaurants were just starting to gain popularity. The Kahiki was THE place to go. I only had lunch at the Kahiki, and that after a dental appointment, but I didn't think the food was outstanding. It was an experience though, with a tropical storm with thunder and lightning and torch-twirling dancers. The Rainforest Cafe at the Disney Marketplace at Walt Disney World is a modern day version of the place in some respects.

The area surrounding the restaurant is filled with vacant businesses and old strip malls. It's not like we don't already have a CVS or Walgreen's on every corner. I don't understand how they stay in business, let alone build more!

Is this someplace that would be *special* - and anywhere *near* Powell/Dublin?
