Tiki Bob's, San Francisco, CA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

I recently (1) picked up a copy of The Book of Tiki and (2) moved to San Francisco. While a trip to the Tonga Room at the Fairmont hasn't happened yet, we did need to grab breakfast while passing through downtown so we vectored past the former site of Tiki Bob's. At the location now is "The Crepe House" which is pretty good. I forgot a proper camera, but here's what my phone recorded: The iconic pillar, in its new color - this turned out somewhat artsy. More natural colors... looks a bit like a banana: A really bad view from across the street, as we were running to catch a bus: Sadly, no obvious indication of the location's former life.
