A Fort Lauderdale landmark, the Mai-Kai restaurant offers great food and authentic Polynesian entertainment. Its thatched roof and carved totems are set against a backdrop of fiery torches and waterfalls. Inside, décor includes giant palm-frond fans, massive carvings and high-backed wicker chairs. It has won many awards for excellent cuisine, decor and entertainment. Massive Chinese ovens create some of the best roast pork in the state and the Crab Rangoon is delicious. The service is excellent, and the drinks offered include those showy options served in coconuts and pineapples.
