Just back from 1 week of constant eating in the Bay Area means it's time to fast right? Not even! Didn't even wait a day until we visited another restaurant... well it was back to work the next day so make the most of the vacation. We visited Formaggio Grill in Kailua for brunch/lunch. Formaggio seems to have revamped their menu - at least the brunch/lunch menu. I was also surprised that Manager Patrick Okubo was working on a Sunday - I sat for the Certified Sommelier exam the same time as he did though he's now leagues ahead just a step away from MS (Master Sommelier). We started as we usually do, with the Truffled Shoestring Fries though we also indulged in their soft fish tacos. I love that crunch that cabbage and radish give to soft tacos with the fish perfectly spiced and cooked.
We then proceeded to the main courses, the Mrs had the beef tenderloin omelette with cottage fries while I had an open faced sandwich with proscuitto and two sunny sides (as Tony Bourdain said and I'll admit to, I'm a total egg slut, especially runny yolks).
We planned on skipping dessert but the server temps you by bringing out the 7 possible selections - $3.95 for 1 or $21 for all 7! The Mrs selected the pumpkin mousse since tis the season for bobura!
