Royal Hawaiian Hotel, main dining room, Honolulu, Hawaii

Notes from the collector: The pink lady as it is affectionately known. The first time Barnie went to the U.S. was with her mother and they had a break from the ship, the SS MONTEREY in Honolulu. Chateauneuf-Du-Pape 1952 was $3.00. Only French wines on one page. Another with California wines – all $3.00. Prime Rib of Beef at $6.25 included hors d’oeuvres, soup, vegetables, salad (with 1000 island dressing I am pleased to see) dessert cheeses and demi tasse. The menu was not dated, but it was before Statehood as it said a Territorial tax of 3.5% would be included. Matson, the company I worked for at the time, sold their Hawaiian properties to Sheraton for peanuts as I think they needed the cash and to pay my salary. A note at the bottom of the menu says to inform the head waiter if you are expecting a phonecall. How times have changed and not for the better I would suggest.
