Your book made the difference between a good vacation and a great Hawaiian experience. That is appropriate, for the kitchen is the centerpiece of this restaurant. You will be delighted with the ingenious, sometimes whimsical, artistry of each dish. Familiar entrees appear in arresting fashion.
Fresh fish can be almost magical sizzling hot, meltingly tender, and enhanced with wonderful sauces.
Ahi appears in a huge portion with stir fry vegetables, rivaling even the steamed fresh ono, our favorite island fish. Toasted Hawaiian' remains a family favorite, and the macadamia nut tart with coconut ice cream will please anyone nuts about nuts. The dining room is attractive, with black lacquer chairs surrounding polished wood tables, set with black bamboo placemats and shining crystal. Many plates are whimsical creations by Sophronia Josselin, and they frame the appetizers and entrees like culinary paintings. The only disadvantage in the air-conditioned room is noise.
