Depending on your coffee tolerance, you decide when to get it. It is more interesting in the dark of the main dining room. I can't recommend their Peking Duck enough. It is best for 2, but the duck for 1 is good. ANd as said, anything out of that oven is great. In Molokai, try the pork app, and we always get the Shanghai Chicken. They are all pretty good. Macadamie Nut Encrusted Grouper is excellent. Mai-Kai is old school, so a tip to the Maitre D' will help you get the seating you want. Go for Garden to really get emmersed in the show. No tip and you may end up behind a pole! Also make sure you and she have tipping money for the bathroom attendant. Dropped a pork bit on your shirt? He will help you avoid a stain! Depending on the night, it may be crowded in Molokai, btu usually you can get a seat. Happy Hour is only good there, so get in, get a seat near the back or all the way in the back alcove, and enjoy it... after you tip the Captain and let them know you are there for your dinner reservation.
