Hanalei hot spot

Welina Terrace, the oceanfront restaurant at the recently opened 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay (5520 Ka Haku Road) on Kauai, is known for its locally sourced, modern Japanese menu with a variety of sashimi, tabletop hibachi and nigiri, plus more than 26 sakes.

A new waterfront venue

At Manalo Lounge (92-1001 Olani St.), the newest dining concept at Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina, guests can practically dine at the water’s edge. The lounge’s name is inspired by the Hawaiian word for “sweet water” and the venue boasts a variety of pupu and hand-crafted cocktails to choose form.

Start with creative cocktails like Wagyu Old Fashion ($35) and Neko Neko ($25), which is served in a cat-shaped glass. Popular dishes include sashimi trio ($42), A5 wagyu hot stone (market price), stone pot bibimbap ($38) and steamed bao with short rib or pork belly ($29).

Save room for dessert — the salty-sweet toasted rice ice cream ($15) with bubu arare, miso butterscotch and furikake pizzelle is a must-have.
