What happened after Mystery Diners?

On the Season 8 episode "Hawaiian Club Crashers" (Mystery Diners, aired 2014-12-15), staff at the Hawaii Yacht Club in Honolulu were accused of letting non-members into exclusive dinner events, and investigator Charles Stiles sent in mystery diners to find out which employees were sneaking in friends without authorization. The undercover team observed door and check-in procedures during a members-only event to see how thoroughly guest lists were enforced. According to Wikipedia's article on the program, citing its sources, the show's own end-credits disclaimer allows that certain events may have been staged or re-enacted for dramatic effect, and a television critic quoted in the article called the show's scenarios implausible. The Hawaii Yacht Club is a private membership sailing club on Ala Moana Boulevard rather than a public restaurant or bar. Its own website, checked on 2026-09-09, carried a 2026 copyright notice crediting the club-management platform Clubspot and listed working pages for membership information, boats, family and related members, and directions. Only the club's own site was checked for this record, so this review treats the finding as a single, dated source rather than independently confirmed. No source consulted here indicated a change of name, ownership, or membership structure since the 2014 broadcast, and no closure or relocation notice was found for the Ala Moana Boulevard address.
