I don't know if this restaurant existed or if it was scenery...but it was neat to see eitherway. The film was The Apartment (1960). It starred Jack Lemon and Shirley McClain (sp?). The whole film was interesting from the perspective of the late 50's/60's era. But, the scenes of Shirley meeting her "lover" in the tiki bar were particularly interesting.
