FINE DINING
|
| It's difficult, sometimes, to differentiate fine dining from casual in Hawai'i — restaurants here are rarely formal and less than a handful have a dress code. When we think of fine dining, however, we think of careful attention to detail, in food, in service, in surroundings. |

Chai's Island Bistro
Even if the food wasn't interesting and reliably savory, Chai Chaowasaree would deserve our support for keeping live contemporary Island music a part of the dinner scene with brief, early evening performances from major artists most nights of the week. Chai is a host who exudes Thai-style aloha; portion sizes are larger than in most high-end places, and there are orchids everywhere.
Aloha Tower Marketplace, 1 Aloha Tower Drive. 585-0011. Lunch: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday. Dinner: 4-10 p.m. daily. Reservations recommended. Valet and self-parking. VS, MC, AX, DC, DS, JCB. No checks. Lunch: $$. Dinner: $$$.
