My first visit back to Side Street Inn since COVID was incredible. While the place has been totally remodeled, the great food and service remained the same. I cannot say that I am a fan of the remodel as I loved the old school look and feel of the old place. I am however a huge fan of the food here. As a Foodie and food blogger I often get asked "what are my favorite restaurants in Hawaii". Believe it or not this is a tough question for me. I really don't have many favorites that jump out at me. Side Street Inn is the exception as it is one of my top five restaurants in Hawaii. Heck it may be the top one or two. On this visit we went for Chef's Colin's Classics. We had eight people so I wanted to order the portion for 6-8 people. The waitress said that the portions are large and the 3-4 person portion would be enough for eight of us especially if we were adding other dishes. Cannot believe it but she was right. For $120 the entire table was satisfied and filled up plus there were boxes of leftovers. Great food and a great deal. Everything here is delicious. I love the Farmers Salad, Pork Chops, Boneless Kalbi, Steamed Fish and Ribeye. Sad to see they took the Seared Ahi off the menu. Would have loved some fresh Ahi. Desserts here should not be missed. They are all great!
