kb.ultra: A detail of the facade above the main entrance
kb.ultra: A landscape view of the entrance, one of many shots I later 'stitched' together into an unsatisfactory panoramic shot of the entire building.
kb.ultra: Detail of roof pattern and peak decorations. The brick chimney marks the location of the interior Moai whose mouth was a working fireplace.
kb.ultra: This shot illustrates the elegant lines of the building, part of the reason Kahiki was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.
kb.ultra: This looks like the side of a truck, but below it appear to be attached supports of some kind. Perhaps this was a housing for refrigeration units or something. The Kahiki brand lives on! Look for it in the frozen foods section it at your grocery store.

kb.ultra: A side view of the front of the building, looking West
kb.ultra: Another landscape view of the entrance to illustrate the scale of the structure and the parking lot layout, designed to add an air of mystery.
kb.ultra: A chef at the Sunday brunch table. Bacon, eggs... all the usual brunch items, and a few extra offerings to add exotic flair.
kb.ultra: A terrarium, the 'Tropical Rain Forest' ran down one side of the dining room, complete with the occasional lightning flicker and gently rolling thunder.
kb.ultra: Everything about Kahiki was interesting, including a wide variety of non-standard seating, like this wide-back woven chair.
kb.ultra: This bamboo throne was a bit uncomfortable, but far too cool to complain about. ;-)
kb.ultra: No two light fixtures were alike... this one made of shells.
kb.ultra: I have no idea what this lamp was made out of, but I love the shape.
kb.ultra: A saucer shaped shell lamp
kb.ultra: A sea horse lamp shade
kb.ultra: A very mysterious tiki head lamp, lit from within.
kb.ultra: A different seahorse lamp shade
kb.ultra: 12-sided starfish lamp shade
kb.ultra: This floor to ceiling Moai had a working fireplace for a mouth.
kb.ultra: The foreground table and chairs throw off the scale of this thing. Between the table and the 'mouth' was room for a 3-piece band to set up and perform.
kb.ultra: This small-ish tiki stood outside the dining huts, in this case behind the serving table for brunch.
