Grabbed a quick Club Sandwich prior to playing a round of golf at Oahu Country Club.  Ended up playing a solid round so the sandwich helped!

Have not been up to the Club in what seems like ages so the family decided to go for lunch.  Love sitting on the outdoor covered lanai with expansive views of Downtown Honolulu.  Started with Edamame which was delicious.  Slightly charred and seasoned with a great sauce that includes Truffle Oil.  The Sashimi was also delicious.  Seems always to be fresh and chilled here which I love.  Going to our entrees, none of us were satisfied.  I ordered the Italian Chopped Salad and it was drenched in dressing.  The dressing was good and the lettuce was crisp but it was loaded to the point of getting soggy.  Highly recommend ordering the Dressing on the side if you order this salad.  My Daughter went for the Caesar Salad with Chicken.  She said the Chicken was tasteless.  Looked like it was simply boiled and then placed on grill to get some marks.  It was tasteless.  My Wife enjoyed the Steamed Fish but said it was overcooked.  Left pretty unsatisfied with the entrees but do remember the delicious Sashimi.

Decided to take the entire family up to the Oahu Country Club one weekend to hit some golf balls on the driving range.  Prior to hitting the range, we enjoyed a great lunch at the Orchid Lanai.  The Orchid Lanai is an outdoor dining area located just off the main clubhouse.  The Lanai features comfortable open air seating with a view of the course and downtown Honolulu.  On a picture perfect   day this was really one of the best places to be on Oahu.  We started our meal with an order of Steamed Clams ($16.50).  This was a huge bowl of plump little Clams served in a butter and white wine sauce.  The Clams and broth were delicious.  One of the first times ever that there were more Clams in the bowl than our family could eat.  Loved the Steamed Clams big time.  I ordered the small portion Turkey Cobb Salad ($9.50) and was not disappointed.  The small portion was plenty big and included pieces of Avocado, Turkey, Bacon, Egg, Tomatoes and Cucumbers over Romaine Lettuce.  Served with Louie Dressing and crumpled Blue Cheese.  Salad was very good and filling.  My Wife enjoyed the Oxtail Soup ($15) which was a Daily Special.  She said it was really good and had better flavor than other places she has tried.  My Daughter went for the Lau Lau Plate ($16.95).  She loves Hawaiian food and especially the Lau Lau which is slowly steamed Pork wrapped in Taro and Tea Leaves.  The Plate included a large bowl of Poi which is pounded Taro Root.  I don't like the stuff but she ate a little bit of it.  She finished off the piece of Mahi Mahi on the plate and also the Lomi Lomi Salmon which is small cubes of Salmon with Onion, Tomato and Green Onion. Service is always good out on the Orchid Lanai and if the weather is good and there is a nice breeze it is a comfortable and relaxing place to enjoy great food, drinks and the view.  We finished our great lunch and jumped in a golf cart and hit the driving range.

I told myself that I was not going to blog about Waolani Windows when we sat down for dinner there recently.  Just going to enjoy a nice dinner and keep my camera in my pocket I thought.  Well that all changed when our Sashimi Appetizer arrived.  It looked beautiful and my daughter pulled out her camera to take a photo.  Oh well I said "guess I'm blogging tonight"  The Sashimi presentation was beautiful with the eatable Gold Leaf and large slices of fresh Ahi, Hamachi and Avocado.  I loved the green line of Wasabi down the side of the plate.  Perfect way to slide the Sashimi across the line and pick up the flavor and heat of the Wasabi.  The Caesar Salad was huge.  Really enough for two people.  What put this Caesar over the top was the Poached Egg on top.  Bursting the egg over the fresh greens, parmesan and avocado added another depth of texture and flavor to the salad.  Absolutely delicious.  The salad includes some large pieces of really hard bread and Parmesan Crisps.  These were difficult to eat because of their size and hardness.  The Steamed Onaga with Lobster was amazingly good my Wife Said.  I had the Appetizer portion of the Fruits Di Mari which included a nice piece of Onaga too.  The fish was super fresh and flavorful.  Served with pieces of Lobster, King Crab, and Scallops in a Lobster Cream Sauce. Dish also included nice mushrooms and green peas that were a good contrast to the seafood.  Cannot believe this was on the menu as a Warm Appetizer as it served as a Entree for me.  Loved it!  My daughter went for the Kona Kampachi.  She did not say much but mowed most of it down and was quite happy.  My only complaint about Waolani Windows is that it is a private members only restaurant at Oahu Country Club.  Wish everyone could dine here and enjoy the outstanding food, service and view.  Great place to take the family, dine with friends, entertain clients or bring out of town guests.  Still think the food here is as good or better than most places in Honolulu.

We had some guests visiting from New York and had planned to cook dinner for them at our house on a weeknight.  Since time was scarce due to work we were worried if we would have enough time to get home, cook and entertain.  Less than 24 hours before our dinner I received info on Oahu Country Clubs 108th Anniversary Dinner.  Took one look at the special menu and sent it to my wife to see if she would prefer going out rather than cooking.  Within seconds she said "lets go to the Club".  This turned out to be a great decision for us and our guests as the dinner at Oahu Country Club's Waolani Windows was one of the best meals of the year.  Absolutely blew me away with the presentation and flavors.  Service was also top notch and worthy of any Five Star restaurant in Honolulu.  I apologize for the quality of the photos here.  I did not take the food photos on this night and had to copy these photos from a newsletter.  Real photos taken by me will be up soon as I need a reason to go back and enjoy this excellent food again.  The appetizers, soup and entree were all top notch.  Everyone at the table cleared their plates and bowl at this meal.  Loved everything especially the Smoked Salmon with Asparagus, Yokohama Soup which was like a Lobster Bisque.  The Beef was cooked perfectly and the lobster was sweet.  Absolutely loved the potatoes served with the entree and ate what was left on my daughters plate too.  Heck even the vegetables on the side were excellent.  My hats off to the Chef at Waolani Windows.  This meal was AMAZING!  Thanks to the staff and especially Elizabeth who always takes care of us with a smile.
