| - I never would have made it to the Lahaina Grill if it weren't for a friend of mine scheduling another friend's going away party there, and at first I was pretty ticked at him for doing so. I'm an Eastsider. I like the Eastside. I don't like going to the Westside. I am lazy. However, later on I was so glad I was there.
Made to look like a Hawaiian grotto of some sort, the main dining area has a little character, if it isn't a bit cheesy in my estimation. However, we were situated in the reserved dining area. Big, comfy leather couches enfolded us as we watched the team of waiters bring in our spread. The food was incredible. Spring rolls, spare ribs with hoisin, Hawaiian chicken - it was all delicious. The shining star was the Marylyn Mon Roll: Shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, topped with creamy yum yum scallops and unagi sauce. I think I ate a million pieces. Literally, a million. Then they brought out the chocolate guava mousse, and my friends still make fun of the way I consumed that.
The reserved room was amazing as well. In addition to the comfy digs, there was a TV that could be, well, a regular TV as well as accommodate DVDs, gaming consoles and came complete with a karaoke set up. Ain't nothing like seeing a mouthful of masticated Marylyn Mon Roll while your friend is singing Total Eclipse of the Heart.
