However, with the 3 course prix fixe special for $32 during Restaurant Week, I was given my opportunity.

A Hidden Gem…Off the Wall Restaurant in Aiea

Local food with an eclectic twist…that truly describes Off the Wall (OTW).  Located in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center (across of Pearlridge Shopping Center), Off the Wall is hard to find but it’s worth it.  You need to drive in and look for the sign since the restaurant does not front Kamehameha Highway.

The week of November 16 should be paradise for foodies. A host of restaurants (including Orchids, Le Bistro, OLA, Roy’s, The Pearl and Nobu’s Waikiki) will feature special prix fixe menus, discounts, or promotions. This is the time to try that special restaurant at reasonable prices and support the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head.

Located in the Pacific Beach Hotel (2490 Kalakaua Avenue), Neptune’s Garden, is a must try for locals and tourists alike. Although the restaurant does not have an outside view, the large aquarium is a draw and a plus.
