There are many great drinks on the menu, but many you can make at home. Though they may be favorites, the Test Pilot and the Jet Pilot are the same. Shark's Tooth and Shark Bite are similar. The Rum Barrel is the best bet for your money to get a good start, but that recipe is out there too. So, I say you need to get the recipes that are only at the Mai Kai. My number one would be their Zombie. Not at all like the recipes you have. Unique. I also suggest the Black Magic. I also think you might go for presentation. The Shark Bite in the ice shell is nice and the drink in a Pineapple has visual appeal. And of course the Mystery Drink! That's something you will never get anywhere else, unless your wife owns the costume and you figure out the recipe and buy the bowl and you actually talk the wife into doing the dance, and you get a gong and someone to play it, and well, screw all of that and get the Mystery Drink! It is more than 4 people will drink though.

As for dining, anything from the Chinese oven is great. My favorite is the Peking Duck which is a 10 and the best duck I ever had anywhere else by comparison is a 6 or 7.
