Saturday Briefing

By Barbara Campbell

The second annual Restaurant Week Hawaii happens Nov 16-22 and is being marketed as “the most delicious week of the year!” Why? Because more than 60 Oahu restaurants are participating in this seven-day celebration of the cuisine scene in Hawaii by featuring special menu items, promotions, and discounts. This is the time to experience restaurants you’ve missed or haven’t visited in a while.

Diners can sample Hawaii’s newest restaurants, dine at old favorites, and taste a variety of exceptional dishes now being prepared by Hawaii’s chefs using locally-grown produce. Restaurant Week is a reminder that Hawaii is a culinary destination with top chefs, farm-to-table dining, wonderful wine, and a lot more to discover and explore.

Several Outrigger-based restaurants are participating, including Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber, Roy’s Waikiki, Ruth’s Chris Steak House at Waikiki Beach Walk, and Hula Grill.

Make a reservation today, and know that a portion of the proceeds from Restaurant Week Hawaii will support the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head in order that they may build a world-class, state-of-the-art institute that will set a new standard for culinary education, creating a strong and viable workforce for Hawaii’s future.
