The Outrigger was located at the Sheraton-Charles Hotel in New Orleans.

From the back cover of menu " Komo Mai, Now Ka Hale ( Come in, the house is yours)."

"Delightful island custom. Enchanted invitation. We echo it whole-heartedly, because we want this visit to be the memorable fore-runner of many pleasant "voyages" to this tropical paradise. And for the sheer joy of it, go native in this climate of Eden...sip those exotic island drinks."

"By the way, before that native mood sets in completely, you may order your favorite American cocktail, too. Aloha"
