Kaimuki
Modern Hawaiian
Named for its address on Honolulu's premier Waialae Avenue, this restaurant brought fresh dining to Kaimuki when it opened in 1992, inspiring a neighborhood dining renaissance. Loyalists swear by the steaks, the crab cakes, and the signature dish, ahi katsu wrapped in nori (seaweed) and deep-fried, with a wasabi-ginger butter sauce. Others counter that it's overblown and stuck in time. Either way, the romantic atmosphere, attentive service, and neighborhood staying power make it a local winner.
