History

Established in 1955.

Locals and visitors flock to San Diego's iconic Bali Hai Restaurant for its beautiful views and distinctive Pacific Rim style menu. The landmark restaurant, located on the northern tip of Shelter Island, is a chic, sleek Polynesian paradise opened in 1955 by San Diego restaurateur Tom Ham. Bali Hai was the island's first "tiki temple," named after the song popularized by the musical "South Pacific," and remains one of the largest remaining original tiki temples. Family owned and operated for over five decades, Ham's vision continues through his daughter Susie Baumann and her husband Larry, and sons Grant, Andy and Tommy.

What a cool spot! I've never seen anything like it where I'm from on the east coast. The shop felt like a pizza or burger joint, it didn't have the usual...
