Delightful read! My husband & I contemplating a trip to the Oahu, to celebrate our 60th Birthdays, so we have been searching for a Dining Guide. We hit the jack pot when we found this little treasure. In addition to providing all of the practical information: dress code, price range, type of cuisine, the authors have given each dining establishment a personality in the Impression Section. With so many possibilities, it will help us narrow down our choices. The book is well organized and user friendly. Jacquelyn Tarpy

Bought 4 for my son's Air National Guard unit, so when there they know where to eat. Just what I was looking for. Well written, nice book!

I found this guide to be of exceptional value and assistance.

I was in Hawaii in 2007 and did not plan any restaurants as part of my pre-holiday investigations. All the planning went into sight-seeing activities. Upon my arrival I was amazed at the amount of restaurants available, the differing cuisines and of course the difference in costs from the inexpensive to the wow, sell your house. As a result, my dining experiences were a `hit and miss' exercise. Let's face it; dining is an integral part of travel.

In 2008 I revisited Hawaii with this guide `in-hand'. I purchased it well before my holiday and spent some enjoyable hours studying up on the Hawaiian restaurant scene. As a result of planning, our dining experience this time was superb. We dined in `cheap eat' diners to 5-star restaurants. Thanks to this guide there was no `hit and miss' this holiday. We particularly enjoyed the `neighbourhood restaurants', which a typical tourist would normally miss, but thanks to the guide we didn't.

This guide was invaluable with a great depth of information for each listed restaurant. It includes an `Impressions' section giving us an author summary and its coverage crosses all boundaries ensuring inexpensive to very expensive restaurants are covered - all holiday budgets are catered as a result of this coverage. For me, I ate well at some great inexpensive restaurants, but was still able to select that `special' expensive restaurant that must accompany each holiday.

Very well written and an excellent guide for this island. I wish they had included St. Germaines (great homemade bread sandwiches). These authors are the BEST. I wish them continued success and I hope that book and department stores will think strongly about having MEET THE AUTHORS day with book signings.....I have met them and they are a delightful couple that truly cares about the islands.

Independent review of many, many restaurants. It could be better organized by location and ratings. It is hard to find the best places to go as it is organized by location and then alphabetically.

Good overview on many of Oahu restaurants. It could be better organized by regions of the island and a map on where the restaurants are located would be helpful.

The reviews in this book are good and I always refer to it when in Oahu. Make sure that you phone ahead though.

The recent downturn has had its impact everywhere and the first restaurant I wanted to make a reservation at had closed.

Pretty boring and predictable book. You'll do better with the other guide books or find a friend to give you recommendations.

helpful guide for our first trip. however, some restaurants not as good as rated by this guide and some menu items are out of date.
