On Friday, Nadia and I attended the second installment of “LOL: Love Of Libations” at the
Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa. This new monthly event features food and beverage stations based upon a particular theme, and this past Friday's event was a particularly special one - to celebrate the Moana's 115th birthday (part of the proceeds of this event went towards the Life
Foundation – Hawaii Chapter).
Hundreds gathered to indulge in bites by some of Hawaii's most acclaimed chefs, as well as in cocktails featuring Ocean Vodka.
Each restaurant offered a drink and a dish, and guests were given two coins to vote for their favorites.
Here were the offerings for the night:
