Hi all,

I have been to both the Kahiki and the Mai Kai, and I have to agree with Vern. Here are my thoughts:

First of all, the Mai Kai's drinks are the best drinks you can buy anywhere. They beat Trader Vic's, Kowloon's, and the Hala Kahiki's by miles and miles. The Kahiki had great drinks too, but I'd say they only rated a bit higher than the drinks one can get at the Bali Hai in Mass (near Boston). Still no where near the drink quality of the Mai Kai.

The food at the Mai-Kai is better than what I remember getting at the Kahiki.

However, the Kahiki's decor was very, very impressive. The giant easter island type heads on either side of the entrance; the gigantic tiki fireplace; the rain forest; the aquariums, and all the amazing artifacts hung everywhere -- and the bathrooms were terrific. The decor (inside especially) was of a higher quality than the Mai Kai, though both are/were great.
