Hmmm, too much salt is one thing... Slugs in salad ... NOPE!
I've probably eaten there a handful of times. Yes, the music is loud, but the service was good.
I also think some people should really keep these points in mind...
1) this is Puna, it's not like you're eating out all the time to begin with (unless you're rich!)
2) Puna folks are in the older generation and tend not to cook with a lot of salt to begin with. So, when one is cooking at home, it's a low salt diet.
Then it's the Birthday meal to try to find that "Nice" restaurant with good food, you know, take a break from cooking... So, it's off to the "best" restaurant in Pahoa! So, the chef is a bit seasoning happy...
To us, that's like a friggin culture shock to the body. We just don't realize how much SALT is going in on the food these days. To a Chef "let's kick it up a notch", you could put salt and fat on a plastic car bumper and it will taste good. More the better routine. Not bad if you're young and you've been eating out 3 times a week at places like mcdonald's where SALT is KING!
I guess one could ask the waiter if you can get the LOW salt steak meal? Might be the thing to do. Then again, asking them to hold off on the slugs in the salad might be pushing it!
