Honu Restaurant in Maui

Fresh off of our whale watching tour, we headed over to Honu Restaurant in Maui - a spot recommended by our tour guides on the boat. "If you only order one thing while you're there, make sure it's the Ahi Tuna Bruschetta", he said, and everyone wh...

Bonzai Sushi in Honolulu

Ibiza Tapas Bar in Danbury
