Town (restaurant in Honolulu)

We discovered Town (located at 3435 Waialae Ave) on a recommendation by some friends the last time we were in Honolulu and returned on this past trip to see if it was as good as we remembered.  It is as good and possibly better.  Here are some photos of Town’s magnificence:

Appetizers include a baby arugula salad with beets, orange, fennel, mint, chickpeas and ricotta.  The salad eater among us thought it was excellent.

The ahi tartare on top of risotto cake and sprinkled with balsamic vinegar was amazing.  The portions were also quite generous.

The most picky eater had the New York strip steak served with French fries.

We highly recommend Town the next time you’re in Honolulu.  The food is fabulous, and it’s clear that the chef cares about his ingredients and cooking.  The service is friendly and excellent.  We will definitely be back!

Town’s motto is “Local first, organic whenever possible, with Aloha always.”
