The restaurant was completed in 1965 and was a copy of the Polynesia in Seattle. Here is a news article about the new manager with picture of a nice PNG mask on the restaurant wall. Always wondered why there has been no trace of ephemera from this place. Turns out that it was sold to the Black Angus chain just a short year later in 1966 and remodeled with a "western" theme. Wonder what happened to all of the south seas artifacts? DC
