I always lose my train of thought when interrupted, so if you are wondering what I did with the lobster shells, I took them away as a weird request and made a lobster stock with it. I then made a clam chowder on that stormy weekend. I will share the reel as it is perfect to eat for this stormy week.
🙂 Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ! ! Fancy dining indeed 🙂 LOOKS GREAT, especialay yours as my daughter would love the crab and oysters ! ENJOY and thanks MUCH for sharing !
Yummy! Bad weather, stay safe.
happy aloha friday da 13th!! 🤙🏾
When you mess up on the little things, everything else takes a downfall.
Slight difference of opinion: Not to be too picky, But, true fine dining the order equipment/computer screen: sorry, but never visible to the guest. Usually, in fine dining the waiter ordering and running of checks is in a waiter only alcove not visible to the guests. That said, your assessment of the food and service is the overriding criteria for “Fine dining “ so mahalo for your work.😊🫠. 🤑(sign of fine dining 🤑).
I always enjoy your fine dining reviews. My wife and I always go to at least one upscale restaurant when we vacation in Hawaii.
Yay! Another treat for yourself and Mr. Ayden (and your friend), with the fireworks show to boot! I personally like seeing these high-end places now and then, because I’m also curious about them, and I want to go where the food is actually good. I like how you mentioned that while it is a dress-up place, the atmosphere and service is more natural and not stuffy. Someplace I’d like to consider in the future.
Thank you for your honest review. I appreciate it very much that makes me continue to come back watching. Yet, with the amount paid for the meal, i'd would prefer visiting MW restaurant for the price. Keep up the great content.
I love to see these high end restaurant reviews once in awhile. Your mix of affordable and luxury restaurants, and your honest warm commentary makes your channel such a pleasure to watch.
Your lobstah looked wicked pissah! Dinner and a show – Doesn't get much better than that. You're overdue for a vacation.
Thanks for the review, Misty! Nice to know about the fine dining options in Waikiki. Have a great weekend!
You not liking cooked carrots made me trust your food reviews that much more, as I 100% concur. 😂 Everything looked fantastic at this Oceanfront restaurant. Thanks, Misty.
Terrific video, great food, but they are crazy expensive.
To hear that photogenic bread wasn't warm was sad. On the flipside, that steak didn't look great on camera but was quite delicious from your response. Enjoy the pleothra of places you review.
Te/da. I like go!
You should be critical of a restaurant of this caliber, and I would have been irritated to get refrigerated bread without butter. Definitely would be asking friends if they had been lately before I returned. But that's me 🤷♀
Well Misty, this had me in the mood for seafood. My gal pal said paella, so we compromised-seafood paella. Hopefully I can get some flan after tonight. You were looking 🔥 and the food looked the part. Rock On 🤘🤘
I loved John Dominis.
$6/oyster is an absolute rip-off! $3 max and I don’t care where they’re from. Walk out of these restaurants and make a stink on the way out.
Wondering if you reviewed Paisanos in Manoa Market Place. A favorite of mine. 53 sounds way too loud. Love your channel. You always do such a great job.
They have an amazing location but not really my kine grinds! I think you're the first person I've seen review it so it's great to get some intel from a trusted source! Mahalo stay dry
Great bread needs nothing 😵
I like cooking at home. Cheaper 😂. Nah, you guys deserve a fancy dinner 🙏🤙🤙🤙
