"MW Restaurant represents Hawai‘i regional cuisine at its best. Wife-and-husband team Michelle Karr-Ueoka and Wade Ueoka (both formerly of Alan Wong’s) convey warmth and attention to detail in their intimate dining room. Favorites include the mochi-crusted kampachi, miso honey glazed butterfish, and all of Karr-Ueoka’s desserts, especially her ethereal, seasonal fruit shave ice — on a recent visit, it was made with Maui-grown persimmons. Downstairs in the more casual cafe Artizen, find oxtail soup and strawberry matcha cake, along with weekly specials. Know before you go: Even though it’s in a car dealership, this is one of the rare Honolulu restaurants where you should dress up just a little." - Martha Cheng
