TikiTempus never mentioned his families involvement in another restaurant (his family owned/co-owned the Richland Tahitian for decades) and Vina, who originally opened it moved back to Seattle. Also there was a Tahitian Room in S.W. Seattle in the '60's at Busey's Restaurant. Popular name then, I wonder why? I'd love to see scans of your menu, also the Seattle Polynesia lunch menu that you have (yes they had lunch from 11:30 to 2:30 marked on their early drinks menu, using the same marquesian? "shield" design as the menu you have). aloha, tikicoma [ Edited by: tikicoma 2014-11-01 01:25 ]
