I used to live in CT and I remember going to a polynesian restaurant outside of Hartford. But I thought it was a Hukelau in Wethersfield. (owned by the same people as the original Hukelau in Chicopee).
My memory is a little hazy on it, all I know is, my uncle was the proprietor of a Polynesian restaurant near Hartford that we used to go to sometimes and it was owned by the Hukelau folks. I'm sure it's long gone.

As for the Maori, yeah, they can be pretty huge. I have a photo somewhere of myself with a couple of the Maori guys who acted in Lord of the Rings (one of them also played Mr. Kill in one of the last James Bond movies) and even though I'm an average-sized guy, in the picture I look like a skinny midget.
