Beautiful Hawaiian Sunset

On our recent trip to Hawaii we spent the first few days indulging in the tropical food and drink of the island. We ate lots of delicious fruit and even tried some of the traditional dishes like the Loco Moco (rice, hamburger patty, brown gravy and a fried egg). We also tried various tropical drinks including the Blue Hawaiian, Tropical Itch and the Lava Flow along with a few others. However, after a few days of this we were craving the food and drink of the mainland and opted to find a restaurant where we could get a nice steak and a bottle of wine.

We were encouraged to try d.k Steak, which overlooks Waikiki Beach. Arriving at the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised at the romantic ambience. The lights were very dim, however, we were seated very near the window that overlooks the beach. d.k Steak is unique in that they dry age their steaks in-house. There were a variety of choices cuts as well as aging to choose from. Prior to receiving our steaks they brought us warm bread with garlic butter & a touch of cayenne pepper. It was very tasty. Our appetizer, ahi sashimi, was also extremely good.

Having tired of the fancy umbrella drinks we perused the wine list, which was quite extensive, for a nice bottle of wine to go with our steak dinner. We settled on a bottle of Four Vines “Old Vine Cuvee” Zinfandel from California. We found this wine to be very enjoyable. The aroma of dark berries and spice consumes your nose as the flavors of black plums and blackberries caress your tongue. The taste is rich and toasty while the finish is creamy smooth. This wine paired extremely well with our steaks.

If you are ever on the island of Oahu d.k Steak is a must try. You will enjoy the beautiful ambience, great food & drink and a table near the window will allow you to experience a very romantic Hawaiian sunset.

Cheers & Mahalo!
