If you’re looking for a nice place to eat in Honolulu without the touristy trappings of Waikiki, 12th Avenue Grill is right up your alley (and its entrance is actually located in the alley between 12th and Koko Head Avenues off Waialae Avenue in Kaimuki). Specializing in New American cuisine, 12th Avenue Grill is a neighborhood restaurant that features a seasonal menu and mostly local ingredients.
We got to try a lot of different dishes since there were five of us, and everything was good. Standouts were the Calamari Fritti, mainly because of the Moroccan Tomato Marmalade dipping sauce, the Grilled Pork Chop, and the Meyer Lemon Tart. The Big Island Cassoulet was one of the evening’s specials and featured beef cheeks, duck confit, wild boar and topped with seared boar loin. Check out the pics:
Service was a little slow, but I didn’t really care. The food was good and in the end, that’s all that matters.
