Wow......Just Wow ! I was blown away at how amazing the Mai Kai was. The Mai Tais were very good, almost up to the TV's version I had at the Sarasota Vic's Lite. The Food was very good, the show was great. But my God that place is amazing. I said to my wife it's like a Doug Horne painting come to life! The main dining area A frame in the middle was so cool. It was very crowded, but I was happy about that! it hopefully means the place will be there for many years to come. I met Jerry at the Rope ( 31 year employee ) he gave us some tips as to where things were. It was awesome seeing all the " helpers " dressed up. My wife and I love the way things "used" to be, and the whole experience reminded us of what it wouls have been like to go out in 1959 for a night out at a swanky joint. I saw plenty of older people dressed up enjoying the place with what I am sure were memories of other places like that, when going out for the night was a "bigger deal". The only way the night could have been any better was if I had my 1954 Ford to roll up in and park up front. Thanks for al your replys, 1 more thing checked off the bucket list.
