Here is my recommendation for an evening.... Start with a nice table in the Molokai Bar. If you are alone for the evening, then sit at the bar, the girls are just as pretty. Have a Jet Pilot and a PuPu Platter. Do check with your Molokai Maiden first, sometimes there is something on special or off-menu that is seasonal. Then move to the dining room for the dinner show. Order a Derby Daiquiri, or a Floridita Daiquiri if you prefer something less sweet. Both are light and refreshing and make a good transition to dinner. For dinner, order anything from the Chinese Ovens. The steaks are magical and between the marinade and the ovens you will not find anything better in all of South Florida. If you aren't so much into eating beef, try the fish. It is cooked over an open flame using the same hardwood they use in the ovens. Mahi is almost always available, do ask your server what is available because it changes seasonally. To drink, you can never go wrong with a Rum Barrel or a Black Magic. I think I mentioned before about the wine cellar.... if you like wine it is worth looking at the list. Don't forget desert! Flaming fruit over ice cream is always a treat, you can have cherries or bananas. A nice stroll through the gardens, some pictures if you like, and back around to the Molokai Bar for an after dinner drink. A Flaming Coffee Grog is an awesome presentation and highly recommended. A Wahini's Delight or Chocolate Snowflake are both good desert drinks. By this point in your evening you should have reached sensory overload.... awesome drinks, fantastic presentation, amazing decor, spectacular food, and I think I mentioned the scantily clad Molokai Maidens already. Now it is time to ask your valet to bring your car around and you can head home. After your evening you will understand why so many people get this far-off look with a slight smile when you mention the Mai Kai. You may need to adjust some of the drink recommendations, you might prefer your drinks sweeter, or weaker, or both.

Here is my recommendation for an evening....

Start with a nice table in the Molokai Bar. If you are alone for the evening, then sit at the bar, the girls are just as pretty.

Have a Jet Pilot and a PuPu Platter. Do check with your Molokai Maiden first, sometimes there is something on special or off-menu that is seasonal.

Then move to the dining room for the dinner show. Order a Derby Daiquiri, or a Floridita Daiquiri if you prefer something less sweet. Both are light and refreshing and make a good transition to dinner.
