Another fabulous dinner at Kalapawai Cafe in Kailua. Last night was a birthday celebration and we ordered more than we normally do. We started with the fig and the crab artichoke appetizer. Both selections were ridiculously delish. From the dinner selections, we all ordered the fresh ahi layered on top of Bok choy and creamy, perfectly cooked, lemongrass risotto. Amazing! For dessert, an order of fruit crisp and lilikoi cheesecake. Heaven! Kudos to the Chef and staff!

Went for brunch and what an amazing experience! The service is always so fantastic here but today was extra special. The English breakfast, breakfast hash and smoked soufflé pancakes were incredible. Highly recommended to anyone who loves a true high-class gourmet experience.
