This has been bugging me for a while. In the 1970's there was a 1 story, flying saucer shaped building with no windows, covered in overlapping shingles, and it was a then-new Tiki bar. I don't think it was Trader Vics. It was on either El Camino Real or Stevens Creek Expwy near the Lawrence overpass as I recall. It was originally built as a tiki bar, eventually went out of business, and some other restaurant took over the building for a few years before going out of business. The building has since been torn down. It was right next to another restauarant in another bizarre 2+ story split level construction building which I believe still stands.

Thanks.
