    I really enjoyed Yours Truly from the drinks and foods to the ambience. Personal favorite drinks were the P. Sherman and Island Curio. The sliders and fries hit the spot with the drinks as well! But what I think really made the experience were the bartenders who were so fun and friendly. We intended to stay an hour but ended up staying for over 3 hours. Luckily it wasn't a busy night so we could stay so long.

    We had dinner at Arancino at The Kahala to celebrate our anniversary. The service was impeccable and the food was of excellent quality and delicious. Everyone was very personable and friendly. The manager came over to congratulate us and spent some time discussing the wine we had chosen. They presented us with an incredible dessert ~ a lovely surprise. We went back again last evening and plan to dine there weekly! Highly recommended.

    Service was great as always even though we had to wait a few times for some items but the only complaint I have is that my fried rice had some egg shells in it. There were also a few items we ordered that never showed up but it won’t stop us from coming again since we love it there so much.
