Found these outstanding photos on the Milltown to Downtown website: "The exotic Outrigger Restaurant at Sixth Avenue and Dominion Street was opened in mid-1965." "Modeling a Hawaiian-inspired dress in March 1966 in front of the new Outrigger Restaurant, now called the Bamboo Hut." "A special luncheon for Queen Aurora and her princesses at the newly opened Outrigger Restaurant in August, 1965." "Elaborate decorative painting on the new Outrigger Restaurant, 1965."
