Another GREAT meal at Island Vintage Wine Bar.  This place is one of our faves.  Again the food and service were fantastic.  Loved the Steamed Clams and Braised Beef Sandwich on this visit.  The Gravy served with the sandwich was amazing.  Great flavor with a touch of pepper.  Could drink this straight.  My Gals LOVE the Truffle Brie and Poke.

ISLAND VINTAGE WINE BAR

This is a hidden gem in Waikiki if you enjoy great food and wine.  Love this place!  On this visit the Truffle Brie blew us away.  What great flavors with the Brie, Fig Jam, Apple and toasted bread.  Great portion of delicious Steamed Clams, Garlic Noodles, Crab Poke with real Crab and Portobello Fries which are a must try.  This is one of the few places in Waikiki where we leave satisfied every single time.  The food and service is exceptional.

ISLAND VINTAGE WINE BAR

Love Vintage Wine Bar in Waikiki.  One of my fave spots to enjoy some wine and pupu's.  On this visit I went back to the Cheese and Charcuterie Board which has to be one of the best in Hawaii.  Filled with Meats, Cheese, Fruits and Bread.  Enough for at least four people or more.  The Steamed Clams are meaty and delicious and I love dipping the Garlic Bread into the broth.  Delicious!  The Portobello Fries are surprising delicious even though they are breaded and fried which is not good for my diet.  Service once again was great and the wine and champagne we consumed with the food was perfect.

APPETIZER AT HOME

Went to the market to pick up Lettuce to make Drew Burgers Protein Style and decided to check the fresh fish section.  Saw a nice package of Manila Clams and changed our dinner menu on the spot.  Made Steamed Clams with Sausage in a White Wine, Butter and Garlic Sauce.  As good as any restaurant in Hawaii.

We all enjoyed the food at Taormina in Waikiki.  Service was great and the food came out quickly.  Portions were large enough to share which I highly recommend so everyone can enjoy a variety of flavors.  Loved the meaty Steamed Clams in a buttery broth.  The Eggplant
Caponata was a big surprise as it was absolutely delicious.  Never would have thought cold Eggplant could taste so good.  The Insalata del Bosco was big enough for two or three people and the flavors of the fresh Beets and Pear were fantastic.  I went for the Truffle Carbonara with fresh Truffles shaved at the table.  The dish was good but the pasta was clumpy.  Also think they added cream to the Carbonara which to me is a no no.  The Uni Pasta was rich and delicious.  The Bolognese was really good and definitely better than most Italian restaurants.  The Squid Ink Pasta with Seafood was also really good.  Everything was good here and I would definitely return.
