The Duke’s scene in Waikiki is well known; famed Hawaiian musicians drop in for jams and blissed-out patrons clink cocktails and cry “hana hou!” (“Encore!”) all night long. On Maui, the off-the-beaten-path location of its sister restaurant, Duke’s Beach House, precludes that kind of spontaneity, but presents an even more relaxing ambience. The entry serves […]

Lulu’s Lahaina has ample seating at the bar, where you can watch jaw-dropping surf footage or your favorite sports team on big screen TVs.

Kai Wailea’s sister restaurant, Kaiwa in Waikiki, is well-known for unique, creative sushi and Japanese dishes served in an elegant, comfortable restaurant with excellent, traditional service.

Cane and Taro is D.K. Kodama’s newest restaurant in a renovated, prime Ka’anapali location. His success with Sansei, Vino (closed now) and his Oahu restaurants The Counter and d.k. Steakhouse suggests that this restaurant should be a slam-dunk, but in our experience it’s not up to par with its siblings. Still, the location is hard […]

Sometimes the iconic sign “Come on in and eat or we’ll both starve!” is a sign a restaurant has a good sense of humor — other times, that it truly wants you to eat there for charity’s sake. We aren’t sure which applies to Polli’s. We haven’t seen much of a sense of humor on […]
