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. |

Nick's Fishmarket, Waikiki Gateway Hotel
It's easy to see why Nick's has remained a consistent favorite over the years: a romantic cavern-like setting, intimate booths and timeless continental preparations of fresh seafood in addition to attentive wait staff. Toss in a substantial cocktail list, tableside service, flambeed desserts and Vanbana pie on a Ritz cracker crust to go with that live Maine lobster plate, and you've got a restaurant that grandparents, parents and couples enjoy.
Waikiki Gateway Hotel, 2070 Kalakaua Ave. 955-6333. Dinner: 5:30-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 5:30-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday. Reservations recommended. Valet and self-parking. VS, MC, AX, DC, DS, JCB. No checks. $$$.
