Last November, I polled readers and came up with the top 25 Oahu restaurants that were gone but not forgotten. The Willows topped the list, followed by Tahitian Lanai, Columbia Inn, Flamingo, John Dominis, Swiss Inn, Alan Wong’s, Fisherman’s Wharf, Canlis and Pearl City Tavern.
On Good Morning Hawaii Saturday, were 2024 Narcissus Queen Shuyao Ye and Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii President, Michael Young, talking about the Lunar New Year festivities.
I was thinking this week, what are the most memorable Oahu restaurants from our past? These would be eateries that are now gone forever, but they once held you in some sort of embrace. You went there over and over again. The staff knew you.
