That's a really beautiful menu. I've got one of those Tiki-Bob style mugs, but not much information on the Bali-Ha'i itself. Maybe some of the other Tiki-Centralites can fill us in on what the restaurant was like.

Here is a postcard view of the interior:

And a few close-ups of some details:


From the size of the building shown in puamana's post, I'd guess that this is just a small portion of the interior. The back of the postcard reads:
"Bali Ha'i at the beach. Polynesian Room. Overlooking Beautiful Pontchartrain Beach. In the enchanting interior of this Polynesian Paradise diners will be enthralled by the authenticity of the surroundings. The Tiki Gods, the native beauty of Samoan tapa cloth, woven palm fronds from Hawaii, native spears from Taiwan and vari-colored Japanese fish floats and Shigi fish traps, combine to form a new world of South Sea Enchantment."
