My New Favorite Happy-Hours! 5-7 50% off drinks & Apps! you cankt beat that deal with a stick! I enjoys going on Wednesday nights to take advantage of the complementary sushi and enjoy some live music. All of this and I didn't even mention the dinner show! A tour of the polnessian islands in traditional dance. I had so much fun!

The Mai Kai is an Historic, Mid-Century Tiki Temple! The food is authentic and tasty, drinks are FANTASTIC, and the ambiance and Entertainment is one of a kind.
No, it's not cheap, but you can't find this sort of retro/Tiki experience ANYWHERE south of Trader Vic's in Atlanta.
Be ready to enjoy classic Polynesian Drinks, food, and Entertainment!

The Mai Kai is an absolute must-visit in Fort Lauderdale! It's a classic 50's Polynesian restaurant with a floor show and gorgeous gardens with waterfalls. I recommend anything from the Chinese ovens, and the seared rare tuna is excellent. The drinks are spectacular! Go with a large group and order a Mystery Bowl, as the presentation is ...

what a grand old school tiki palace! I highly recomend it to all my friends who might be traveling to Fort Lauderdale. Good food, drinks, service and a wonderful floor show. When I'm in Fort Lauderdale I try to go every day to the Mai Kai.

This place is a page right out the last century and I mean that in a good way. A perfectly preserved Polynesian palace right in the middle of all the modern, boring dreck on N. Federal Highway. Once you step inside, you're transported around the world. Once you have a couple of their amazing cocktails, you don't care where you are. I ...

What an incredibly rare dining experience this was! There's nothing else like this outside of California, and this restaurant has been in continuous operation since it opened in 1956. Forget the trip to Disney World, this place has everything you need to get away from the rat race: gorgeous waitresses, exotic decor & music, and the most ...

I have been to South Florida on vacation several times in the last 10 years, and every time I visit the Mai-Kai at least once. It is a one-of-a-kind restaurant with amazing romantic Polynesian atmosphere, wonderful food, and superb tropical cocktails. The dinner show is a fabulous and fun time for a special night out. I especially recommend any of ...

I love the Mai Kai, it's one of the great Polynesian restaurants anywhere in the world. Great food, great drinks, great service and a wonderful floor show.
Don't pay attention to the ridiculous bad reviews. If you read those reviews you can tell that most if them are posted by the same person, who is likely a disgruntled former employee ...

Whenever I’m in Florida this is one of my must visit destinations. (What am I talking about? This is the reason I go to Florida!!) Amazing atmosphere, stunning wait staff, excellent cocktails, great garden on the grounds, fantastic show, periodic rainshowers and happy hour specials. What more could you ask for? I already mentioned the stunning wait staff.
