Excellent thread ! Old postcards & brochures have great documentation of murals that existed in
restaurants no longer with us...Here's a few examples, starting with some early views of murals from
places past:

Aloha Room- Heathman Hotel, Portland, OR (mural by Portland artist Georgia Lee) :

Bob Brooks' 7 Seas, Hollywood:

Clifton's Pacific Seas, Los Angeles:

Curry's, Miami Beach :

The mural behind the stage in the Surf dining room, Honolulu Harry's Waikiki- Chicago:

Zamboanga, Los Angeles ( the mural behind the stage in the upper right image) :

Later views from places no longer with us:

The Polynesian Room at the Bali Hai- New Orleans:

The mural behind the stage in the Hawaiian dining room, Hawaiian Village- Cherry Hill, NJ

closer view:

Hawaiian Village, Tampa, FL:

Hut- Ft. Myers, FL:

And some recent photos from the Waldorf Hotel- Vancouver, Canada, 2005

This Hawaiian Islands mural greets you as you descend the curved stairs from the main level of the Waldorf ( where the Tahitian Room lounge is located), to the Polynesian Room downstairs:

The amazing mural in the Polynesian Room, with imagery from the Eugene Savage paintings for the Matson Lines:

This mural is behind the bar on lower level, just outside the Polynesian Room:
