The Tahitian in Studio City opened February 20th, 1959, and was one of at least 2 locations -- the other was in Pasadena. The Royal Tahitian in nearby Ontario, CA had identical lettering, and may have been related. Menu cover tiki (same as tiki outside of front door) was designed by Andre Bumatay. The decor was supplied by both Oceanic Arts and Sea & Jungle, with coconut mugs and ceramic table lamps from Spurlin Ceramics. The location is now a parking lot.
