Mala Ocean Tavern is a small Oceanside destination serving locally inspired Mediterranean and Pacific Rim cuisine is a Judy and Chef Mark Ellman creation. The water at 4 feet away kissing your feet while having your meal and the sea turtles moving right by your table makes you feel your Hawaii trip is complete. Try their house special whole wok fried fish but leave space for their signature dessert Caramel Miranda: A dessert having Melted Dark Chocolate and Caramel Sauce Covered Plate with Layered and Broiled Fresh Island Fruit, Macadamia Nut Ice Cream. It is just the incredible finish to any meal which you have here.

Peter Merriman is one of the founding fathers of Hawaiian Regional Cuisine. Although his original charming restaurant is on the Big Island, this Maui mega-titan is the flagship. It features many signature classics but served at scale on a spectacular but slightly corporate feeling peninsula. It is impressive that quality levels are maintained at this 300 cover gourmet theme park.

Beijing Noodle No 9 is the reflection of Las Vegas dining meets authentic Oriental flavor under the direction of Executive Chef Li Yu. It is the kind of casual noodle shop one would expect to find on the busy streets of Shanghai, Hong Kong or Beijing. The kitchen serves delicious and mouth-watering pancakes; wonton soup, fried rice, and dim sum of all kinds are top picks here, with your choice of vegetables, pork, chicken, seafood or beef. But be sure of the fact that chance of eating the same dish twice out of the 14-page long menu is very less. Noodles are a must for any Chinese hot spot and sit at the counter to watch how they are hand-pulled every night at Beijing Noodle No. 9. It’s a casual place, but reserve yours if you are going during prime hours.

A random experiment of adding pineapple to the traditional mix of tomato sauce and cheese with ham or bacon alternatively led to the invention of the Hawaiian pizza by Sam Panpoulos in 1962. It was truly inspired by his experience in preparing Chinese dishes which is majorly a mix of sweet and savory flavors. Not only this, Panopoulos brothers were the first to offer pizza on the menu along with Chinese food in the Chatham region, at their Satellite Family Restaurant. Serving hot and fresh food quick, starting with breakfast, lunch, and supper they also offer a fresh cold salad bar, known for their slow-cooked roast beef and panzerotti. Try to grab a seat on the balcony overlooking the beautiful setting of the Thames River.

Gabrielle Bonci is a master baker who has used his skills to revolutionize pizza. His Roman hole-in-the-wall by the Vatican has created the world benchmark for pizza al taglio with a thick, crunchy and at the same time feathery focaccia base.

It features award-winning double martinis and wine list and a menu that is complimented by all. One such masterpiece is "The Davenport Crab Louis" salad. Originally created and named after Louis Davenport himself the signature salad is made with crisp butter lettuce topped with fresh crab, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes and dressed with famous Louis dressing.

Roy Yamaguchi is one of the legendary 12 founders of Hawaiian Regional Cuisine. He is also the most commercially successful with his mega-chain peaking at 30 outposts at one point. I had the good fortune of dining at the original on Oahu when he was cooking many years ago and it was amazing. Moments of brilliance can still be found at this and other Roy's and it is worth a visit for the gorgeous views although the location in a golf clubhouse is out of context.
