Here's 2 menus & a little informational flier from the Waikiki Room . First is a tropical drinks menu,
its too small to read the drink descriptions , but some of those pictured are : Tahitian Rum Punch, Neyog Rum Punch, Royal Navy Grog, Waikiki Downfall, Hilo Driver, Honolulu Jelep, Diamond Head Punch, Pina Rum Punch, Zombie, Rum Swizzle, etc.

The flier from the Waikiki Room has a list of South Pacific relics that are displayed throughout the restaurant
(list is pictured below - I hope its readable in the photo), and has the following introduction :

"Here in the Waikiki Room you will find bamboo from Formosa, chairs from Hong Kong, the
decorations from Tahiti, Samoa, the Gilbert Isalnds, the man eating clam shells from the Great
Barrier Reef, the coral from the Philippines, the beautiful table tops, the bar top from Hawaii, the
tapa from Samoa, the fern trunks from the forests of Hawaii, and other materials from agents in the far
corners of the Pacific. We recommend that you make a trip to the Beach at Waikiki, and enjoy hospitality,
the food and good potables, delightful native entertainment, and native feast, called, a " Luau".

The food and beverages the Waikiki Room menu affords are unique and typical of the Islands.
The greatest possible care has been taken to see that the Waikiki Room itself, its decorations,
its food, beverages and service, are all authentic Polynesian and similar to what you will find in
the very best places of Hawaii and the Islands."

Following is a '54 dinner menu. I wonder if that backdrop of Diamond Head could have been a lighted display, or just a mural ?

Great idea to show the outside of the hotel building, as well as the interior . Gotta love those green vinyl booths !
