This is one of the few pieces of info I have recently dug up....the other one should be the most fruitful, info to follow. I thought this was a nice memorable tid bit never the less.

Hi, my Mom used to work there in high school back in the early 70's. She talks about it once in awhile. She says that the inside was totally decked out like you were in Hawaii with beads hanging everywhere. She was a waitress there and she had to where a grass skirt and coconut bra, with a flower lei and some girls wore flowers in their hair. When Mom and Dad got engaged he made her quit because he hated her wearing that outfit. She thinks her boss's name was 'Mr. Ruech'(pronounced 'roosh'). It was located at the corner of Fulton and Hillcrest, where the vendor lot/parking lot is now(next to Hardee's). Mom and Dad used to frequent the restaurant for the atmosphere and dancing, especially during deer hunting season because there never was any fights like at the 'Roost' in King (where Chef Chu's now is.) Dad says his class reunion was held at the Polynesia before it burned down in the 80's. My parents had alot of fun telling me about the past. It brought back alot of good memories. Hope this info helps a little.
