Had an unexpected problem with one of our Tesla's and took it to the service center in Honolulu.  Since I didn't have an appointment, they offered to get me in as soon as possible.  I sat in the waiting room at Tesla for awhile and then decided to walk a block to Moku Kitchen to have a late lunch.  For late afternoon, they had a good amount of staff and everyone was very friendly.  You had to order and pay at the front counter and then find a table.  Thought this was a bid odd.  They delivered my food to table using the numbered flag that they gave me at the front.  Had the Fresh Ahi Tacos and they were pretty darn good.  Waitress came by often and provided excellent service.  Tesla texted to let me know the car was ready so I left without finishing my glass of wine.

Another GREAT meal at Island Vintage Wine Bar.  This place is one of our faves.  Again the food and service were fantastic.  Loved the Steamed Clams and Braised Beef Sandwich on this visit.  The Gravy served with the sandwich was amazing.  Great flavor with a touch of pepper.  Could drink this straight.  My Gals LOVE the Truffle Brie and Poke.

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Hawaii.  Arancino at The Kahala is consistantly great.  Food and service are top notch.  I love the Ebe with Caviar.  Chilled raw Shrimp covered in Caviar.  A taste of heaven.  The Carbonara is the best in Hawaii.  Add fresh shaved Truffles to take this dish over the top.  Delicious!  The Salumi Platter was the bomb with super fresh meats and a little cheese.  Pizza always a winner here too.  
Apologize for the blurry photos.  Having some issues with my iPhone.
