A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We found this restaurant walking around Hvar at night. Most restaurants were busy, and this one had space. Overall a great find.
I got a pizza (mushroom, salami, cheese), and for drinks got a wine from Hvar (called global wine). The pizza was good, and the wine was ok. Would come here again, but would also try other places in the area.
First restaurant we went to at Hvar. We grabbed brunch here, and I have to say it was my best meal so far.
For food, got the linguini and added chicken. It came with a while mozzarella ball, and the sauce was really good.
For the drink, got a strawberry mojito (since they were out of mimosas). It was ok (would’ve really had a better experience with the mimosa lol).
Update (8/5/2021): we came back here for brunch at the last day in Hvar (thought it was that good). This time got brunch (scrambled eggs with bacon). Also got a mimosa (orange juice was hand made). Both were fantastic.
This place was recommended by our AirBnB host. It had mostly American food, and it was pretty meh. Got a pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni and cheese, and wasn’t the biggest fan. for a drink, got Four roses (wanted to keep it simple.
This was the first real restaurant we went to in Split, Croatia. Everything about it was awesome. The view was great, the mimosa was great, and the waiter’s suggestion of trying out a Croatian dish, dalmatinska pašticada with gnocchi was also great.
Ordered from the place twice through door dash. This was the last meal in Kona, Hawaii.
Overall, the rolls are pretty meh (ie. Not super fresh, but still ok to eat). There is this one role that has deep fried crab in it which I really liked. Would get that again.
We went to this place for a late lunch.
I originally wanted to get a seltzer (from tap), but they ran out. So I got a sampler of longboard IPA, as well as the wailing wheat beer. Both are what I expected from the beers.
For lunch, tried the margarita and Hawaiian pizza. The margarita pizza was pretty bland, but the Hawaiian pizza had a bbq sauce twist to it, and was pretty good.
Tried out this place for a caffeine pickup.
This place is pretty comparable to Kona Coffee and Tea (ie it is a bit watery). But what turned me off about this place is the service. The cash register person seemed like she really wanted to rush me out (ie I said I would be ordering several drinks, and she wanted to check me out when I just ordered one drink). For this reason I wouldn’t come back to this place (although the mocha I ordered was acceptable. Also, the green flash smoothie that someone else ordered was pretty good).
Came here for a second lunch, since a friend recommended that this place had the best Açaí bowl in Kona.
I ended up getting the Kona Wave Bowl, which was really good (I don’t usually have açaí bowls, so it’s difficult to make any comparison. However, I would get another here again).
We had a late lunch for our trip to Hilo, and fortunately this place was still open.
For drinks, had a Big Island Coffee (Kalua, macadamia nut liquor, creme de cocoa, baileys, and coffee). Also has a lychee rum martini. Both drink were great, and what I wanted 🙂
For the appetizer and starter, I had the clam chowder and see fried calamari. I thought the chowder was a bit too salty, and the calamari was too fried. Didn’t hate either of them though.
For the main course, I got the mandarin bbq pork ribs, with a side of pesto pasta. I enjoyed the ribs. The pasta tastes good, but I think the crushed nuts texture was a little weird (but like I said, tastes was good).
Lastly, thought the view in this restaurant was great.
So this is actually a grocery store (a chain in exclusive to Hawaii), but decided to grab a poke lunch from it (we went here to shop for Thanksgiving).
I got the seaweed salad and the California roll poke. Gotta say, neither were that good (now I know).
