Frommer's Review

Talk about buzz. From judges and fashionistas to politicos and the boy next door, they're all here at the W Honolulu's restaurant, either eating in the sleek and stylish dining room or being seen hanging out at the "bar with the bed," the serpentine DHG Bar that is the social nexus of Friday-night Honolulu.

But it's not all just flash at the Diamond Head Grill; new executive chef Eric Sakai has designed a menu that begins with a foie gras torchon with frisée salad and toasted brioche or, for fish fans, cold, smoked hamachi crudo with avocado and orange, topped with extra-virgin olive oil. My pick for the best salad is the delightful chicory salad with persimmons, Gorgonzola, and hazelnuts with an apple-cider vinaigrette. Main courses range from house-made pastas (bruitti ma buni, a fried ricotta and parmigiano dumpling) to fish (slow-cooked Hawaiian walu with braised artichokes and mushrooms) and meat and game (organic chicken with creamy polenta). Suggested wine pairings can accompany each entrée. Don't pass up the desserts -- the "Way Too Much Chocolate" is a must-try. Fridays and Saturdays after 10pm, the place becomes a very hot nightspot, jammed with beautiful people dancing to music spun by DJs.
