Since the place was located on a golf course called Bali Hai I thought I'd check out their Mai Tai, so I asked the Bartender what was in his Mai Tai and he responds "Malibu Rum, Chambord..." and stopped him right there. Instead I asked for a Dirty Martini and ended up with a light pour of Vodka, no Vermouth, & 3 shots of Olive Juice in a plastic glass full of ice chips. I asked for a Classic Manhattan, and he grabbed the Jack Daniel's and added Dry Vermouth & a cherry, no Bitters or Orange Peel (this actually wasn't bad, but it wasn't a Manhattan). I stuck to Beer after that.
