"Kalapawai Cafe was a fun upbeat place to go for dinner. We split the Fattoush salad. It was good and the pita had an amazing spice topping. We both ordered the fish special. It had Mahi Mahi, scallops, Spanish rice with crab, caramelized pearl onions, baby green beans and 2 sauces. It was so delicious! We were both very impressed with the textures and flavors. We highly recommend coming and will be back ourselves."

"We ate at Baci last night. It's better than when Bill owned it! What's better is the servings are more abundant, the recipes have been tweaked to add more interest, and, in the case of my husband's entree, the veal was a better grade of meat than what was previously used. The veal marsala was so much more tender and tasted so much better, we asked our veteran waitress, Pat, whose employment predated Bill, if it was a better grade and she said yes. My pro secco apertif was served in a new modern stylish, slender tall glass that appeared to be a larger serving than the old champagne flutes. There was considerably more home grown tomato bruschetta on top of the toasted bread rounds. My linguine con vongole in clear sauce was a more generous portion than in the past. It was considerably larger than the meager, bland portion I ate two weeks ago at Arancio at Kahala, Honolulu Magazine's Finalist for Best O'ahu Restaurant, 2018 Hale Aina Award Winner and gold winner winner in Best Italian. I really liked the tweaked insalate pere's shaved beet and carrots and my husband liked the artichokes he didn't remember seeing previously in the veal marsala. My husband ordered grappa after the meal. It was one of the cheaper options. He was prepared for moonshine. Instead, it was extremely smooth and served in glass twice as large as the size in which grappa is normally served. My profiteroles were outstanding. If you want to eat at Oahu's best Italian restaurant, this is it."

"We had a late dinner reservation at Goen at 8:00pm, and we were rather disappointed with our meal. My wife and I started with the short ribs as an appetizer, which were decent but not outstanding compared to other restaurants at a similar price point. Our main course consisted of two Chirashi bowls, which were mediocre at best. The sushi rice was cold and tasted old, and we felt that they were not worth the high price of $45 each. Overall, we were unimpressed and do not plan on returning to Goen."
