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. |

Colin Nishida's unassuming smoky bar, where the regulars knock back icy beers while watching sports on TV, has quite simply some of the best and most fun down-home food in the Islands. Most dishes are served family style, and the platters come heaped. The fried rice and pork chops are a must, but you can't complain about the katsu, the spinach salad or the Portuguese-style clams. Great for kicking back (except for the people lined up and eyeing your table).
