Whattup with Pahoa Village Cafe?

[csgray]

They now have 3 locations, including one in Hilo in the Waiakea Villas complex, and have had some staff changeover as well. The menu is now smaller and they pulled my favorite dinner, but the salad choices are better. They are also closing at 7 unless they have entertainment. I was surprised to see what looked like bartenders hired through a temp agency setting up the bar, instead of the usual bartenders, before the Pato Baton show. Lots of empty spaces on the bar too, like they had stocked the new place from the old bar. Friends who work in all the downtown Pahoa restaurants tell me business is way down this year.
