The restaurant is still intact, but they totally gutted the bar.

The bar/restaurant used to be a free standing building, below the lobby. The management thought no one knew of the bar down below, so they tore it up and integrated the lobby and bar.

It is extremely sterile now, with all traces of tiki gone. Curiously enough, they did leave the restaurant pretty much as is, which is good, but the bar was phenomenal, complete with wall mounted, sunk-in exotic fish tanks and the bands performed in an partially-opened oyster shell stage that was carved into the wall!
