Frommer's Exceptional

For more than 2 decades, Bev Gannon, one of the original Hawaii Regional Cuisine chefs, has been going strong at her foodie haven in the pineapple fields. You'll dine at tables set on old wood floors under high ceilings (sound ricochets fiercely here), in a peach-colored room emblazoned with works by local artists. The food, a blend of eclectic American with ethnic touches, puts an innovative spin on Hawaii Regional Cuisine. Even the fresh-catch sandwich on the lunch menu is anything but prosaic. Sip the lilikoi lemonade and nibble the sashimi napoleon or the house salad (Island greens with mandarin oranges, onions, toasted walnuts, and blue-cheese crumble) -- all are notable items on a menu that bridges Hawaii and Gannon's Texas roots.
