UPDATE: Roof work advances, new thatching added to porte-cochère Guests stopping by The Mai-Kai before Labor Day to pick up their quarts and gallons of takeout cocktails might have noticed some work going on around the entrance to the historic building as repairs and refurbishments pick up steam. While grabbing my holiday fortifications last Friday (Sept. 2), I got a chance to chat with public relations director Pia Dahlquist and manager Kern Mattei. While no new dates have been announced, Dahlquist promised more opportunities to order signature tropical drinks in the coming weeks. Mattei was gracious enough to give me a tour of some of the latest updates to the property. With the structural portion of the roof work complete, plans have moved on to the finishing touches on some of The Mai-Kai’s most iconic features. Most noticeable is the re-thatching of the covering over the driveway that leads to the main entrance, aka the porte-cochère.
