¢-$$, Contemporary, Honolulu

User Rating: ***** 4.7

Fodor's Review:

Tell us how old you are, and we'll tell you whether you're likely to enjoy town (yes, the "t" is lower case). The motto here is "local first, organic whenever possible, with aloha always." Pretty much everyone agrees that chef-owner Ed Kenney's vaguely Mediterranean menu ranges from just fine (pastas and salads) to just fabulous (buttermilk panna cotta). But if you're over 40, you'll probably be put off by the minimalist decor, the shrieking-level acoustics, and the heedlessly careless waitstaff, who have a tendency to get lost. Young people don't seem bothered by either circumstance. The restaurant serves an inexpensive Continental breakfast, as well as lunch and dinner.

While other finer restaurants may demand a yearly visit or two, we will go to TOWN (no pun intended) weekly. With the perfect combination of delicious, simply prepared food (comprised of mostly local ingredients), a young, warm staff, and incredible bang for the buck, Town is, hands-down, our favorite restaurant in Hawaii.

a great night out

town is a great place to search out for a highly enjoyable evening. Whilst on Hawaii for five nights, we ate there twice, and they were closed on a third. The restaurant gave us a warm welcome, served fabulous chicken on a bed of torn bread and pancetta, and mixed one of the best cosmolitans I had tasted.
