Aaron's Atop the Ala Moana

Frommer's Review

Take the express elevator to the 36th floor, where the circular dining room reveals the city in its mountain-to-sea splendor. This may be the best view from a Honolulu restaurant that isn't on the beach. Tables line the sweeping windows, and intimate banquettes curve around the interior. A private dining room next to the wine cellar serves parties of up to 10. Aaron's offers its famous black-and-blue ahi (seared in Cajun spices) and seafood entrees such as opakapaka Gabriella, with lemon butter and capers. This is rich Continental fare with heavy sauces and some lively local touches. Among the excellent salads, the Greek Maui Wowie -- chopped tomatoes, bay shrimp, avocado, Maui onions, feta cheese, and lettuce -- is tops.
