I should mention that the previous bar manager was there for something like 18 years, so it was quite surprising to find him gone. To borrow GatorRob's analogy with mom's lipstick..... Management is also hard to critique in this kind of situation, the Mai Kai is still a Family Owned and Operated business. I love the family very much, they are great to hang out with, and I truly love the fact that they have been putting money back into the place to revitalize it. (still wish they would unpaint those windows in the inside garden!) Whatever your expectations of the Mai Kai, the Molokai, the drinks and/or the food, the place is still a restaurant and is run by professionals. If you drinks are bad, say so and send them back. They won't spit in them just because you sent it back. Everyone that works there genuinely cares for and about the place and its customers and really will work with you and for you and do what they can to make your evening magical.
