While properly a bar, not a restuarant, there is the complimentary Ritz crackers and port cheese spread in the huge white tub---known to help the wahines take the edge off the mai-tais and sneaky tikis! And Bikini Lounge in Phoenix, new to us, sounds like it's worth investigating... My wife used to work at Mote and has very fond memories of knocking back what she recalls were very strong Mai-Tais at Bahi Hut. Are the drinks there any good?
