Hilo Bay Cafe
I was trying to find some place nice for us to eat in Hilo so after a brief amount of research, I booked this place. The restaurant is located right by Hilo Bay and near the Suisan Fish Market (which we still haven’t been to). The restaurant is located up on the second story (all

Two Ladies Kitchen
We saw a short line of people standing in front of this place so we were curious what it was all about. Turns out it is a mochi place. The primary reason there were people standing outside is because it was very small inside and they didn’t want people crammed in there so they really
-
Island Gourmet Market
We just wanted a quick bite before we had to meet up for our Mauna Kea tour, so we just popped into the Island Gourmet Market at Queen’s Marketplace and just bought food at the deli and brought it back to the condo since seating (only a few tables) was full at the deli and

Bones Bagels
Finally went back back here to get the bagel dog which I’ve wanted to do ever since we first visited. Andrea got the Veggie bagel sandwich with an every bagel and I also picked up a Brown Butter Pecan Cookie. The bagel dog was of course pre-cooked and was just sitting on a rack when

Niku Steakhouse
Jacob, our account manager, invited me out to dinner with Lionel, one of the reps. Not as many options on Monday, but this was a fantastic option. I haven’t been here since 2023 when Andrea and I last dined here and was definitely looking forward to it. We had a 6pm reservation and it was

Spruce
Last minute decision to go here for lunch/brunch. I had a great solo dining experience here last October, so was happy to come back and I was starving since I had gone for a run this morning and this was pretty late for me to eat. We were served the coffee cake to start, but

Angela’s Organic Ice Cream
We wanted something sweet after eating at Tacolicious and we’ve been meaning to try this new ice cream shop in our neighborhood. It’s on the far easter end of the shops on 24th St. so it wasn’t ideally located since it wouldn’t get a lot of natural foot traffic. It was pretty empty when we
-
Gott’s – Ferry Building
One of Andrea’s ex-coworkers, Susan B., was in town so she put together a small get together with some of the ex-coworkers. We met up at Gott’s in the Ferry Building. Was quite crowded as all Saturdays are here (esp. since the farmer’s market is going). Gott’s did handle taking orders very efficiently and then
-
Cotogna
I had been hearing about the corn pasta dish at Cotogna, but we had never had it, so I made a reservation for us to finally try it. This time I picked seating outside in one of their extensive set of parklets (they almost extend the entire block since they make use of the street
-
Enclos
We were looking forward to dining here and spending a little bit of time in Sonoma which we don’t do often enough. We just walked from our AirBnB which was located a couple blocks south of the plaza. The restaurant was just barely east of the plaza on Napa Rd. and coincidentally next to Sojurn
