The owners of Old Lahaina Luau, have teamed up with Chef James McDonald's culinary prowess (I'o and Pacific'o), placed it in a perfect outdoor oceanfront setting, and added the exquisite dancers of the Old Lahaina Luau; the result: a culinary and cultural experience that sizzles. As if the sunset weren't heady enough, dances from Hawaii, Tonga, Tahiti, and Samoa are presented, up close and personal, in full costumed splendor. Chanting, singing, drumming, dancing, the swish of ti-leaf skirts, the scent of plumeria -- it's a full culinary-cultural adventure. Guests sit at white-clothed, candlelit tables set on the sand (unlike the luau, where seating is en masse) and dine on kalua pig, tasty steamed moi, and savory pohole ferns and hearts of palm. From Tonga come lobster-ogo (seaweed) salad and grilled steak, from Tahiti steamed chicken and taro leaf in coconut milk, and from Samoa grilled fish in banana leaf. Particularly mesmerizing is the evening's opening: A softly lit canoe carries three people ashore to the sound of conch shells.
