Aloha Travelers!

Well, our last week of service is here. What a fast semester. This week we are home in Hawaii, using the skills and techniques acquired through our Around-the-world travels and applying them to our local products and dishes. This is our take on Hawaii Regional Cuisine. Not Hawaiian food, or traditional favorites, but cooking familiar dishes and products with a modern twist. We hope you will enjoy our menu.

This week, we are serving from Tuesday through Friday, our last four days of service.

I would like to thank you all for your patronage this semester. Our students have both enjoyed cooking for you, and have had a good workout. Repetition refines, and a full dining room allows for that practice.

Again, Mahalo,
