celebrity foodie to dine at the only five star restaurant in all of the Islands of Hawaii, Morimoto’s inside the Modern. Our once in a lifetime dining experience for two begins with the Chef ’s raw bar which comes in the $80, $100 or $150 sizes. Large samplings of his sushi or sashimi combinations run from $45 to $200. Then you have to experience the one pound Australian Wagyu Ribeye (the best beef on the island) for $98. The Seafood ‘Toban Yaki’ comes with Keahole Lobster, Alaskan King Crab, Mussels, Clams, Diver Scallops in a spicy red Miso Sake broth for $50. The simple Duck, Duck, Duck: features a trio of seared Duck breast, a Duck confit Spring Roll and Duck Meatball soup for $29. Morimoto’s is easily the most impressive meal on all of the Islands and perhaps even a lifetime.. The Modern’s study turns into a sexy bar for their hidden Happy Hour. It isn’t what it immediately seems. It waits demurely behind a wall of books in the lobby till 5 p.m. Each evening the bookshelves rotate to reveal The Study. The decor is neutral palette and clean lines which are whispers of the Modern’s subtle sophistication. That’s your invitation to get to know The Study – a knockout cached in an understatement bar. Cocktail tables are barely an arm’s length from 16 ModernLifestyles.tv
