Check out their:
Seafood Chowder
The Seafood Chowder is pure decadence in every bite, making it a great way to start your meal. This dish combines Hawaiian fish with smoked bacon to create the base flavors. Blue crab avocado salad, Yukon gold potatoes, and cream come in next to bring everything together. One bowl will leave you satisfied yet craving more always.
Moroccan Spiced Salmon
When you want to go on an absolutely phenomenal culinary journey, treat yourself to the Moroccan Spiced Salmon. To create this dish, the chef perfectly seasons the salmon filet with Moroccan spices and then puts it on the grill until light and flaky. Forbidden rice, shiitake mushrooms, and spinach beautifully complement the salmon’s flavors. Avocado relish and mango chutney then come in at the end to kick it up a notch.
Rack of Lamb
Tender, savory, and tantalizingly delicious, the Rack of Lamb never fails to impress. They roast the lamb until perfectly rare and oh-so-juicy while baking the Molokai sweet potatoes. After that, they plate up the lamb and potatoes before adding crispy fried goat cheese, Maui pineapple jam, and a jalapeno-mint vinaigrette.
To finish off your meal to remember, always go for dessert. Their offerings range from Chocolate-Macadamia Nut Brownies to Bananas Foster. Their house specialties are the Strawberries Panzini and Nick’s Crème Brulee. Both come with recommended wine pairings that promise to take all the sweet flavors to the next level in an instant. Prefer to keep it simple? End the night with their Coconut Panna Cotta.
