With our Daughter heading back to the mainland, we did a two night Birthday celebration for her.  First night was at Restaurant Suntory and the second was at one of our all time favorite restaurants, Arancino at The Kahala.  Once again we enjoyed our family favorites.  Service was exceptional as usual and the food was great.  The perfect meal for me here is the Ebe Caviar and Carbonara.  That's it.   We went with the Tasting Course this time so I had much more than usual including the incredible Lobster Bisque and Caprese Salad plus Dessert.  Love this place big time and a shout out to the great waitress and Maria the Manager!

It used to be when people asked me what my favorite restaurant was in Honolulu, I would pause and think for a long time.  Now without a pause I would say Arancino at The Kahala.
Absolutely love the food here.  The Ebi Caviar and Carbonara with Truffles is all I need to be happy, but the Pizza, Uni Pasta and most everything else here makes me happy too.  Always leave Arancino happy and satisfied which I cannot say for 90% of the restaurants we visit.
My Wife absolutely loves the Tasting Menu and she always gets the Uni Pasta and Lobster Bisque.  The Lobster Bisque is the best on the Island.  My former trainer and her boyfriend joined us on this night.  They are moving to Florida and will be greatly missed.

Blessed to have a business dinner at Arancino at The Kahala.  The entire table enjoyed the Tasting Menu and was happy and satisfied.  This has become one of my favorite restaurants in Hawaii and this Tasting Menu is definitely a big fave.  I love the Caviar served on a bed of raw Shrimp.  What a nice light way to start the meal.  The Lobster Bisque is one of my favorite soups ever and you cannot help but want to lick the bowl.  The Caprese Salad served with Basil Oil is good but I really don't care for the Cherry Tomatoes.  I would would prefer regular Tomato.  My Wife went with the Crudites of Vegetables which is basically veggies with a Garlic and Anchovy Dip.  The Carbonara here is one of my all time favorite dishes.  I absolutely love it.  Normally I order the Carbonara with freshly shaved Truffles but they were not available on this night.  I was pretty full when my Steak arrived and really could have done without it.  I dug in though and it was perfectly cooked and delicious.  The Tiramisu was a nice ending.  Very light.  This is pretty much a perfect dinner and with the wine pairing....WOW!!
