Islander, Los Angeles 1960sThe Polynesian themed Islander sounds like it was a lot of fun! Opened in 1959 at the corner of La Cienega Blvd and Westmount Drive in Los Angeles, California, the restaurant featured Polynesian architecture designed by Robert Mavis and seated 300 people plus another 150 in the Hukiluau room. The two storey building was set on simulated coconut tree stilts with a five storey paraboloid roof and to enter guests had to cross a suspension bridge

which opened in an alley off Regent Street in 1953 and ran for 39 years

using pot lids as cymbals and drumming on a metal casserole dish

also designed by Stern

starring Loretta Young and Alan Ladd

fish floats and fishing nets hanging from the ceiling and puffer fish lamps on wooden tables

with pickled pine panels stained to a mellow shade

We think you could have dined there several times a month without having the same thing twice

a rite of passage for French gourmets has been the eating of the Ortolan

There are signposts in this enchanted forest to mouth-watering desserts such as wild blueberry and cherry pies

a menu cover but we could not resist offering this delightful little coconut face as a print
