AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY
Town  
While Town isn't a fast-food joint, and big plates can go for $22 (but you can also eat well for $15), it's as laid-back as dining gets. Chef-owners Ed Kenney and David Caldiero make good, straightforward food with fresh ingredients (a lot of the produce is from MA'O Farm in Wai'anae). While the menu changes daily, the contemporary dishes with a Mediterranean inflection might include a must-order duck breast in a jus reduction with earthy farro salad dotted with carrots and fennel, or clams in a citrusy Cinzano spiked broth (a signature). The house-made pasta is arguably the best in town. People like star street artist Shepard Fairey and "Lost" actor Naveen Andrews have made the space their canteen while in town. And if that's not enough, the place is also a popular neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot.
