Advice on Hawaii dining
I have searched this forum extensively for some up to date information on dining in Hawaii but it seems that everything is almost 2 years old. Has anyone had and good or bad experiences with Reward establishments specifically on the islands of Ohahu,Hawaii and Kauai. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I will be spending 4 weeks touring the Islands in September and October and would like to dine at a few listed restaurants if they are at least adequate.
Thanks
Thanks

Hawaii - Honolulu - da bettah da kine and uddah iDine experiences seems more recent than that. I'll be heading to the Big Island next month, but I'm not sure there are many restaurants on the west (Kailua-Kona) side, where I will be diving.

My favorite restaurant on the BI - with or without idine (although idine is definitely a plus!). Sunday brunch is a must!

My apologies for not finding this thread. I scanned the titles and didn't get beyond the first few words realizing that I couldn't understand the language.
I will try a few of the restaurants you recommended.
Thanks "tudorcity" as well for the suggestion below. I called and made a brunch reservation and look forward to this.
Definitely worth a drive up to Waimea to visit Daniel Thiebaut.

No apology needed - we merely point out some ways of finding resources to other members. It's about helping - and thanks to you and tudorcity for sharing Daniel Theibaut! I'm hoping their food is "ono." (Delicious.)

Unfortunately, they appear to have dropped out of the program this month (September 2008). They were in the program last month when I made my opentable reservation for this week, but they appear to be gone now.

Had dinner tonight at Tiki's and it was surprisingly good, had the signature dish, seared salmon over Okinawan sweet potato. It is on Kalakaua diamondhead from the Marriott. (On the island of Oahu, sorry I don't know any islands named Ohahu)
