    Aloha and happy holidays, We loved our experience at Badger and Co. drinks were delicious, the Gondola Glow made with orange slice instead of a lemon was the bomb, so good. We hard the pearl barley and Rocket salad to start it was delicious. The Chestnut Gnocchi was delicious. Our daughter had the buffalo chicken as her main and it was more than enough . My husband had the steak and haggis pie. Let’s just say the plate was clean. We finished with a wee brownie and the Christmas Pudding and it was fabulous. The mood was festive, service was fabulous and we would definitely come back. We loved that our server was singing Christmas songs as they came on just a few bars of the lyrics but it made it feel all that much more festive. The decor was amazing and we can’t wait to tell our friends about it when we get back to Hawai’i . Thank you for a wonderful meal. The Head Ohana
