Behind an unmarked door adjacent to the wine room, guests are transported to District 1 (China Town) in Saigon via Blackhouse’s 28-seat restaurant-within-a-restaurant, LSXO. A spinoff of the Little Sister brand (Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach & Downtown Los Angeles), LSXO is love letter to the culture, heritage, and lineage of Vietnam (Vuong’s relatives hail from the region). While Little Sister is known for its French Vietnamese menu, LSXO follows the same Southeast Asian inspiration with a more refined feel. “There is no signage for LSXO—you can spot the entrance of it tucked into a section inside Bluegold, but you’ll have to know it’s there. While Bluegold is light, bright, and airy, LSXO is its darker, edgier little sister,” says Vuong. “Both restaurants operate out of the same kitchen, though the menus are completely different. LSXO offers straight-up, honest, home-style Vietnamese cuisine—the type of food I grew up eating with my grandparents in the San Gabriel Valley

We had a great evening at Dukes. Enjoyed the crab wontons, soup, salad and macadamia crusted fish special. The server was friendly and attentive. We were seated near a window where we could see both the pier and the ocean. Lovely evening — thank you! We have been lucky enough to visit Dukes previously in both Maui and La Jolla. We were glad to feel the consistent level of quality with our visit to Hawaii. We will be keeping Dukes on our list of places to visit when traveling!!!

From the front desk to the bar to the servers, the staff was exceptional. The offerings were plentiful and delicious! Valet parking was quick and easy. If I have one complaint, it's that they list a chocolate cake dessert, which is actually a solid piece of chocolate mousse no cake. However delicious, it was a bit deceiving.

Our family wasn’t available for Christmas dinner at home this year, so the two of us went off on an adventure & found Pacific Hideaway. Everything was great - the modern ambience, the pleasant service, & delicious food! We left happy & content! Hope to return again soon!👍👍👍👍
