Coral Reef was a Polynesian restaurant in Millbrae, just south of San Francisco, owned by Buddy and Roberta Maleville. This location opened in 1946 or earlier, and was closed by the owners in 1953 as the restaurant had accumulated debt. During its heyday, it was a destination restaurant. When it was open, Bing Crosby was a regular, and brought Bob Hope here.
The Malevilles also opened a Coral Reef location in Sacramento in 1949, that location was connected to a lodge and operated until 1994.
