With a motto like "you do the chillin' and we'll do the grillin'," it's hard to resist the lighthearted fun promised by an evening at Salvador Molly's Pirate Restaurant. A menu of spicy tropical "pirate cookin'," includes the Famous Mojo Kalua Pork, a Hawaiian-Cuban fusion of smoky shredded pork with grilled onions and peppers, and the Rasta Rings, thick hand-cut, beer-battered onion rings served with Ensenada aioli. Adventurous diners can be immortalized on Molly's Wall of Flame by eating five habanero-cheese fritters with hot sauce.
Known as the Great Balls of Fire Challenge, the contest raises money for Oregon Heat, a charity that helps residents pay their heating bills. The festive ambience is bolstered by the tropical colors, world music, and surf videos that entertain customers as they dine on the Sun & Fun outdoor deck or sip Mojitos at the Monsoon Room Rum Bar. Lucky visitors may even catch a film fest featuring Godzilla, the fire-breathing dragon himself.
