Off-Island: Kavikas Grill & Bar

After visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific, we decided to walk over to The Pike at Rainbow Harbor to find somewhere to eat, and after seeing a sign for a Kids Eat Free promotion (Free Kids Entree with any Adult Entree Purchase of $12 or more) at Kavikas Grill & Bar, we knew we couldn't pass that deal up! 

I ordered the Kavikas Club.

The above is what I was originally served - the sandwich had pineapple and some kind of deli meat - nothing at all like the club sandwich that I ordered, so I had to send it back (I took the picture first and then I realized my sandwich wasn't supposed to come with pineapple on it).

After waiting a while the Kavikas Club finally was served.

It was really good (served on King's Hawaiian Sweet Bun) and filling - I could barely finish half of it.  The fries were really good too.

DH ordered the Spicy Korean Beef Sizzling Wok.

He said it was pretty good even though it was not that spicy.

DS1 ordered his fave - Macaroni & Cheese.

I liked that it came with apple slices!

DS2 had the Kids Chicken Fingers.

Of course, being from Hawaii, we couldn't help but think about the possible Hawaii connection and inspiration for the name (using a "v" instead of a "w" to prevent mispronunciation) and menu (there were lots of items typically found in Hawaii, such as Mahi, Kalua Pork, Chicken, etc.).

Although I thought the service was quite slow (in fact, after we were seated we heard one employee tell our host to not seat anyone else until they were "all caught up"), and they messed up on my sandwich, the service was pretty good. the ambiance was nice, and the food was good - and of course we loved the Kids Eat Free Deal!
