Humuhumu’s description:
The Royal Hawaiian was originally in a different location, and likely moved to its current site in the 1960s. It has several small dining rooms with glass-walled dioramas filled with tikis and plants, great lamps, bamboo, thatch and sea grass matting, and a bar with a fireplace and pufferfish. There are lovely oil paintings throughout, including a large piece hung directly above the hostess stand.

In spring 2006, the restaurant was sold to a new owner, who has gutted all Polynesian details, and plans to extensively remodel into a non-tiki restaurant.

Scores Category should be updated, the Royal Hawaiian is open, the exterior is still lovely, the bar sucks (but they've got a new Squid mug!), some tikis remained in the interior.
