Carbone

This restaurant was recommended by a friend’s friend as a good Italian restaurant, and he was very correct.

Got a mai tai for a drink (seemed pretty standard).

For appetizers, got several vegetable apps (they were good, but would probably do a meat dish if I wasn’t with a vegetarian). One was the eggplant and zucchini scalene.

They also served bread. One was similar to a pizza bread that I really enjoyed.

For the main, I split a veal parmesan (first time I’ve had that with veal) and a 12 layer white lasagna with a friend (each pasta layer was thinly sliced, that it reminded me more of a flat noodle). Both were amazing.

Also sampled the spicy rigatoni vodka. A great choice!

Only down side with the experience is that we had to sit outside (inside was fully booked). If it were a warmer day, it would have been perfect.

Royal Kona Hotel Bar (Don the Beachcomber)

I was told this was an excellent place to watch a sunset while drinking a pina colada. I would have to say this is very true (although our sunset had some clouds covering it).

I ordered a banana lava flow and a mango lava flow (a lava flow is basically a flavored pina colada). Both were good, but the mango one was less sweet, so I thought it tasted the best.

The food at this place is meh. The coconut breaded shrimp was not that good. The poke chips were ok.

On the Rocks

Went to this outside bar for the food primarily, and then for the food.

For food, got the spicy poke on nachos. The nachos was a wonton based chip, and I thought it was a really good combo. However, the chips are a bit greasy, so didn’t finish the whole things. For drinks, got a mai tai, which I thought was good too.

Update: on 11/27/2020, went to this place again for lunch (as most places are closed for the Thanksgiving). Ordered the mai tai and lava flow. Both great drinks that got me really buzzed after drinking both. I also ordered the pulled pork nachos, which I would say are ok, but not the best.

Olla Cocina

Felt like getting some Mexican tapas, and this place had some good ones.

To start, I got the Mai Tai Pina. I definitely enjoyed the hint of Pina Colada flavouring.

For the tapas, we got four of them. All of them but one were good. From best to worst: the Mac and cheese, the carne tacos, the empanadas, and the calamari (usually I like calamari, but this one was not good).

Sushi Confidential

Overall, a great find (and it’s right next to the parking garage I always park at in San Pedro Square).

For a drink, I believe I got the Samurai Sunset )it was a really good twist of a mai tai).

For special rolls, we got the the classified rainbow and the dragon roll, both of which I would get again. We also ordered a salmon roll (which was pretty standard).

We also got beef tataki, and shrimp tempura, both which I liked. The only thing we got that I didn’t like were these tuna tacos ( it sure why, but I thought it was wayyyh to greasy for my taste).

Update (11/4/2018): We went back to this place, and one thing we ordered that we didn’t order before was the Korean short ribs as a starter. Definitely something to order again (and hands down, the classified rainbow roll was still the best roll).
