The Lanai, San Mateo, CA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

I remember the old thread talking about the place that had this. Incidentally, here's a pic I took in 2002 of the "2.0" location when it was a Chinese buffet. I used to eat there for lunch with co-workers sometimes, and they had a little fountain area in the back by the restrooms, but no other signs of a polynesian place. If you look at this photo, it almost looks like the CL Lanai sign could fit in the little rectangular area cut into the lava rock on the right. Unlikely though. Somewhere I have a more recent photo - it looks even more bland now, with all the lava rock facade gone. -Randy
