Lucy's Grill 'n Bar

Frommer's Review

This is one of Kailua's most popular restaurants, not just because of the open-air bar and the outdoor lanai seating, but because of the terrific food. The menu is eclectic Hawaii regional cuisine, with lots of choices and giant portions. The dress is casual, and the clientele is local. Be sure to order the spicy ahi tower with sushi rice, avocado, wasabi cream, and roasted nori to get you started. Any of the fresh fish and seafood is wonderful, especially the Szechuan-spiced jumbo tiger prawns with black-bean cream and penne pasta, or the lemongrass-crusted scallops with yellow Thai curry. Save room for crème brûlée with Tahitian vanilla bean, dark chocolate soufflé cake, or their "damn fine" apple crisp -- a la mode, of course. Tip: The early-bird special (5-6:30pm nightly) is a terrific dinner for just $14.
