This was our fourth time at Gaslamp, and although we always enjoy it, this was a particularly memorable experience. The bartenders were exceptional. Very personable and the drinks were top notch. We ordered the "French Laundry", Wellington, and the Lobster Bucatini. They were all delicious and well worth the price. If you are looking for a romantic date night or nice evening with friends, this is the place! Quiet and romantic atmosphere, delicious food, and well crafted cocktails. This place has the full package.

Another fabulous dinner at Kalapawai Cafe in Kailua. Last night was a birthday celebration and we ordered more than we normally do. We started with the fig and the crab artichoke appetizer. Both selections were ridiculously delish. From the dinner selections, we all ordered the fresh ahi layered on top of Bok choy and creamy, perfectly cooked, lemongrass risotto. Amazing! For dessert, an order of fruit crisp and lilikoi cheesecake. Heaven! Kudos to the Chef and staff!
