I think it was, but was also known as the "Colonel's Plantation Restaurant" housing the "Dagger bar" for a time. Tourist at the International Market Place about 1962.

I found this ad in a 1963 Here's Hawaii guide documenting Donn at the Colonel's Plantation House as noted by Phillip Roberts. This confirms the 4 DTB locations in Honolulu as indicated by Phillip. Also a few more old photos of the DTB at the International Market Place. DC
