Menu: A Tropical Luau

This menu of authentic Hawaiian fare inspires a night of relaxed summer revelry. Steamed seafood laulau, traditional ahi tuna poke, and pork ribs marinated in sweet soy sauce transport you to that tropical island, while a whole fleet of tiki-style rum cocktails serve as aperitifs, palate cleansers, and dessert.
