808 at Caesars - Review

Had dinner at 808 at Caesars last Saturday and was very pleased. I'd definitely reccomend this place to anyone who enjoys the Hawaiian 'Fusion' cuisine.

I started with their signature Deconstructed Ahi Roll, which was basically Poke on top of crab, on top of avacado & rice. Absolutely loved it! Was very happy that I did not order the chef's tasting menu, because it only included a 'mini' version of this.

For the main course I ordered the Seared Ahi with Zinfandel reduction & white beans, and liked it more than the comparative dish at Roy's. I found that the pairing of the Beans & Tuna really worked, as the beans tended to soak up just the right amount of the wine.

I finished this off with the Macadamia Nut Crunch bars, which was what seemed to be a flourless chocolate cake on top of a bed of crushed macadamia. It looked almost exactly like the crunch bar dessert at Alan Wong's in HNL ... it tasted a little different, but I enjoyed it just as much.
