Some of the recent Yelp reviews paint a poor picture of the service there lately. Anyone have a tiki perspective on the service in the last few months? I presume a reservation is required to be able to see the dinner show on a Saturday night. Yelp can be a cess pool. The Mai-Kai often server 1200 people a night. One ego-centric jerk posts on Yelp and makes a mess... The service is generally excellent. The staff are generally long time employees with high standards. Yes, on Friday and Saturday you should get a reservation. And also tip the Maitre D' when you come in to get better seats.
