Greenwell: Okay, that was kind of contentious. <br />Johnson-Altamirano: The one person writing we shouldn't open because of traffic? <br />But it's been a business for <br />Greenwell: Right? <br />Takase: Well the other two, Broke Da Mouth and Kona Pasta Co. (Company) were <br />there, were they having trouble with parking? <br />Johnson-Altamirano: No. <br />Rota: We've even staggered reservations to the point where people are leaving, and <br />then more people are coming. I think maybe this past Saturday, we had a thing where <br />people just had to go around, and there wasn't a parking space for them, and they went <br />and they parked right down on Ali`i Drive, there's other parking, so we haven't found an <br />issue at all, we've been open for I think 10 weeks now. <br />Takase: That's good. <br />Okabe: Any further questions? <br />Ventura: What is the club component of the restaurant? <br />Rota: It's really just the name, yes. Latest dine -in, we serve dinner until 9:00 p.m. <br />really, and if you dine out in Kona, pretty much our last reservation roll in about 8:15- <br />8:30 p.m., even though we are open until 9:00 p.m., we rarely see that late. Everyone <br />wants 5:00-5:15 p.m. <br />Takase: Your second floor is really nice up there. <br />Rota: Yes it is, it turned out really well. <br />Okabe: Any other questions? <br />There was no further discussion by Commissioners. <br />Okabe: Hearing none, Commissioners, I'd like to entertain a motion to approve or deny <br />Application No. T24-19? If approved, public hearing to be held on March 6, 2025, in <br />Hilo. <br />Greenwell: This is Greenwell, I'll move to approve the Application No. T24-19, with a <br />public hearing to be held March 6, 2025, in Hilo. <br />Nishimoto: Commissioner Nishimoto, second. <br />MINUTES -LIQUOR COMMISSION MEETING - THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2025 - KONA PAGE 16 OF 39 <br />
