Hello All,

I just searched through the forums and didn't find anything about this, so here it goes:

This weekend the wife and I went to Banff, Alberta. One of our nations' finest (and touristy) national parks. On the main strip I spotted this restaurant:

Anyway, something about the shape of this entryway made me think it may have, at one time, been a Polynesian themed restaurant.

I went inside to see if there were any clues to a tikified past, and I DID see (what could be interpreted as) a tiki carving. My wife thought I may be losing my mind...
Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of the "tiki" inside, but next time we go to Banff we will eat there. I'm sure the staff won't say no to one little photo then right?

So does anyone have an old matchbook or postcard for a tiki restaurant in Banff?

On another note, we did see this tiki tucked amongst some totem poles in a private yard. This is on the road leading up to the Banff Springs Lodge:
