Hawaiian Hut - at the Ala Moana Hotel
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
This venue was opened in 1970 with the Ala Moana Hotel and was one of the Spencecliff family of restaurants.
It was painstakingly modeled to resemble a Maori meeting hall on the inside and was covered with all manner of carvings.
Spencecliff later passed this restaurant on to his former employee, Gordon Yoshida, who continued to run it until February of 2009.
In its time, it was run as a dinner theater and home to a number of full Hawaiian Revue dance teams throughout the years.
After its close, the contents were auctioned off or demolished and disposed of. Some of the better carvings found their way into the hands of collectors and a few are on display at La Mariana Sailing Club.
