Executive chef Jon Matsubara, formerly of CanoeHouse at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows, and ex-Alan Wong's Restaurant manager Charly Yoshida are poised to open Stage at the new Honolulu Design Center April 14. A sneak peek revealed a black-on-gray space punctuated by red chairs. With Matsubara's Big Island farm connections, expect lots of fresh Hawai'i-grown ingredients. Also in the Design Center is Amuse, a self-service wine bar where an ATM-type card lets you pour your own.
