  CASUAL DINING

When we don't want to dress up, when the budget is a bit busted, when we're hanging out with the gang, these are the restaurants we choose. There's considerable variation among them in price, food style and atmosphere, but all cultivate a relaxed feeling and, in most cases, there's no need for reservations or anything fancier than T-shirt and slippers.




Kaka'ako Kitchen

If the food wasn't served on styrofoam, this place would be just about perfect, offering upscale plate lunches made to order, excellent baked goods, quality coffee (important at breakfast time), juices that taste fresh-squeezed (also at breakfast) and pleasant indoor-outdoor dining. Favorites include the corned beef hash at breakfast, the loco moco at lunch, anything from the bakery case, quick stir-fry or grilled specials for dinner.
