Senor Frog's back in business
Advertiser Staff
Seņor Frog's in Waikiki reopened today, after resolving a building permit violation that shut down the restaurant and bar last Thursday five days after it opened at Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.The city closed the 520-seat establishment because city building inspectors had not made their final inspection. Some 200 Seņor Frog's employees were affected.
City spokesman Bill Brennan said the restaurant requested the inspection one week before its planned opening — as opposed to a more customary two to three weeks. The short deadline could not be met.
The inspection and a certificate of occupancy were completed today, allowing the restaurant to resume business. An official grand opening is scheduled for Aug. 29.
