oahu restaurants and dining
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

ANOTHER WINNER!
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.

Just what I wanted
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!
