 One of the most beautiful restaurants in all Hawaii, Orchids boasts an open-air look, dressed in crisp, white linen, with stunning ocean views. When you make a reservation, ask for a table on the terrace. The focus is on seafood, from the Big Island abalone with a delicate corn bisque and cumin to a seafood feast for two featuring island-sourced Kona lobster, onaga and Kahuku shrimp steamed with kaffir lime leaves and with an intriguing trio of aïolis---saffron-garlic, harissa and miso. Chef Darryl Fujita also offers opah and pork with togarashi (Japanese seven-spice), stir-fry beans and Kabayaki-glazed Kurobuta pork. Finish up with the Halekulani coconut cake with raspberry coulis; you've never had coconut cake until you've had this one. The executive lunch offers three courses for $32. (Diners can also choose two courses from the luncheon menu for $28.) The Sunday brunch buffet features a variety of options. |
