The motion was carried unanimously. <br />Takaba: Application No. 17-10. <br />Villaroell: Yes. That's me. <br />Takaba: Rapa Nui Cucina LLC, dba Rapa Nui Cucina, for an original Dispenser General <br />liquor license. <br />6. Application No. 17-10 (10:00 A.M.) <br />Rapa Nui Cucina LLC, dba Rapa Nui Cucina, for an original Dispenser <br />General liquor license, Category B1, located at the Keopuka Square, <br />81-6372 Mamalahoa Highway, Suite 3, Kealakekua, Hawaii, <br />TMK: 8-1-016:020. <br />Takaba: Can you identify yourself again, and your relation to this business? <br />Villaroell: Yes. Karina Villaroell. The business is owned by my husband and myself. <br />Takaba: Do you have any changes to the report? <br />Villaroell: No, no changes. <br />Takaba: Can you describe your business? <br />Villaroell: We are now open for lunch and dinner. My husband was born in Chile so he <br />has some Chilean items on the menu that are not found in many places on the island so <br />we thought that would be good options, especially in South Kona there's not too many <br />places to eat and those that are here have the same variety. So he does an empanada <br />and a ceviche, I guess you can compare it with poke, but it's a Chilean style ceviche. He <br />also make fresh pasta, so half of the menu is Italian. Lunch is a little more casual, more <br />for families because he also makes sandwiches and it's a little Tess expensive. For <br />dinners, I don't want to say "fine dining" because that makes it sound expensive. But the <br />food is very good, everything is handmade from the desserts to the pasta. Compared to <br />other restaurants in South Kona, maybe a little more pricey. But again, that's the idea— <br />have a nice restaurant in the area which I know is lacking. There was a restaurant there <br />before which was very good, my husband was actually friends with them, so I think the <br />neighbors are very happy that we came in and we're kind of doing the same style with the <br />pasta, aside from the Chilean items. <br />Takaba: Director, do you have a report of protest? <br />Takase: Mr. Chairman, the applicant mailed 9 out of 9 notices within 100 feet, 64 out of <br />64 within 500 feet, there were 63 properties entitle to protest. We do have one <br />DECEMBER 7, 2017 — LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES <br />31 <br />
