There were two locations for Lanai Island: 479 Winter Street, Waltham, MA and 147 Lowell, Wakefield, MA.

I actually have two addresses for Lanai Island in Waltham: one at 455 Totten Pond Road and one at 479 Winter Street. The 479 Winter Street address was next to a cinema and definitely verified. Not sure if the 455 Totten Pond address was a business or a corporate address, as the business entity was Lanai Island Inc. Totten Pond Road also turns into Winter Street, which may have something to do with it. The phone number was 890-6460.

It was owned by a guy called Frank Lee and they advertised as a Cantonese and Polynesian restaurant. I can place it in Waltham between 1975 and 1990 but am unable to say for certain when it actually opened and closed.
