We love Hoku's but we haven't been there in awhile. Partly because they stopped serving lunch.
(note: I took these pics with my new camera phone so the resolution isn't as great as my point-and-shoot)
I love the ahi dip and ciabatta rolls that come out nice and warm.
Next they brought out more complimentary stuff - this was a cracker with baba ganoush.
We ordered an "innovative" sashimi platter as an appetizer. The platter had hamachi with avocado and grapefruit, ahi tataki with jalapeno and yuzu, hirame with pickled onions and apples, and salmon gravlax with soy almonds and fried chiso.
I love how they do a simple 'nalo greens with heirloom tomatoes, hearts of palm, persimmons and a balsamic dressing that's really light.
For our main entree we had a Kilauea salt rubbed prime rib eye (for 2), carved tableside and served with potato risotto, roasted beets and a red wine sauce.
Dessert was the coco loco, which was milk chocolate mousse, haupia cream in coconut sponge, and coconut-macadamia gelato.
Finally, they brought out three complimentary truffle lollipops.
Yum! Wish we could afford to eat there more often!!

Nice photos! That was a feast. Everything looks delicious. Good idea not fighting the crowds on VD night. Yet another place I must try some day.
