    Both meals were very good as nether one of us left so much as crumb on our plates. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller which were quite tasty broiled in spinach, bacon, and Parmesan cream. The first entree included the SeaVenture with a medley of seafood including scallops, clams, mussels, grilled fish, and Andouille sausage with saffron rice. The second entree was Macadamia Pesto Crusted Halibut with lobster risotto and grilled asparagus which was also very good and would have been an A+ had the halibut not been a wee bit dry. All in all it was great meal with good service and wonderful ambiance. Two thumbs up.

    On Valentine’s Day, 4 of us were finding most places were not available for a regular dinner since we’d just arrived from out of town. Suddenly Open Table showed Pono Pacific had an opening, so we snagged it. The mahi mahi was the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy. The squash appetizer was also delectable. Mussels complemented the halibut, and the shortbread tart deliciously completed the exquisite meal. It turns out a previous reservation had just serendipitously canceled, lucky us!

    We try to eat at Ada's every time we are in town! The food is always Excellent! This time, we both had the Seafood pasta which has a delicious rich tomato-based cream sauce(reminds me of vidka sauce).... delicious from the first to last bite. My husband also had the wedge salad which did NOT disappoint.... pulled high with bacon, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes..... not the block oficeberg lettuce with 2-3 bacon bits you see at other restaurants. Thank you Ada's for great food and service, as usual!
