Honolulu Restaurant picks
 

Here are three to try: <BR> <BR>Chef Mavro, 1969 S. King St. Tel: 808-944-4717 French with Asian touches <BR> <BR>Padovani's Bistro 1956 Ala Moana Blvd. Tel: 946-3456 French, not really bistro fare, more refined, excellent cheese course as well <BR> <BR>Cafe Miro 3446 Waialae Ave. Tel: 734-2737 Lovely spot, more locals than tourists, Asian/French food. The Chef and his lovely wife do it all. If you can speak some Japanese it helps! You will be invited to tour the kitchen after dinner, too. <BR> <BR>Bon Appetit

I don't know if I am happy or dismayed at your revealing the excellent and reasonable Cafe Miro. What a great neighborhood spot...hope some posters will seek it out.

chef mavro is a wonderful restaurant. however, it is on the pricey side. great for a special occasion. <BR> <BR>alan wong's, which is also on king street (i believe), is another great regional restaurant. <BR>

Palomino's, Cafe Sistina's, Yanagi Sushi, Baci Bisto (in Kailua), 3660 on the Rise

I forget about Alan Wong's. I really enjoyed my dinner there; wish they had outdoor seating though. I haven't tried the new one in the shopping mall (I think)...any word? Devon, thanks for the other suggestions. I hope to be in Honolulu this August and will try at least one of them. <BR> <BR>Michele <BR> <BR> <BR>
