HAWAII'S BEST KITCHENS 2019

HYATT REGENCY WAIKIKI

Loved spending a few hours on the pool deck at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki.  Hawaii's Best Kitchens did not disappoint with great food, drinks and people.  We got in early with a VIP ticket that allowed us to try all of the dishes without waiting in lines.  I would say almost every dish was really good.
