I grew up about an hour from Waupaca, and have several aunts and uncles who grew up within 20 mile of the city.

I did do some research, and found the following information.

The restaurant location was originally known as the 'Bring er Inn' located on West Fulton Street. In November, 1971, the owners started a half-million dollar addition - that included a 50 seat restaurant, a second dining room with 38 seats, and a cocktail lounge that seated 57. They opened their new space the following spring.

One article quoted the owner as saying " It is going to be different. In our Polynesian room, there will be a complete South Island decor, from Polynesian food and drink served in an atmosphere created by water fall and fountains right down to a welcoming parrot we hope to teach to say 'Aloha.' It will be unique inside and out as shown by the pagoda-shaped roof in the architect's drawings."

The second phase of the project included the building of a 30 unit motel with an indoor swimming pool, to be built east of the restaurant after the new dining areas were completed.

I wasn't able to locate any additional information or photos.
