We had a very good dining experience at Paolo's last night. I have to say that (nearly) every meal we've ever had on the island has been huge. Yuge! Too much too finish in one sitting. Just had breakfast at Hawaiian Style Cafe this morning and ordered the "Light Breakfast". One blueberry pancake, egg and bacon. The pancake was about an inch thick and as big as a dinner plate! So filling I could not finish. You get a lot of food at the restaurants here...
Anyway, for dinner we split a caprese salad, split cheese ravioli and each had a main; I had chicken marsala and she had veal. We ate the first basket of bread and they refilled it quickly. The chicken was 2 medium size pieces, pounded to an even thickness, with 1/2 plate of mixed sautéed veggies. The food was outstanding and there was enough of it for us.
I was fearful of slow service (from the reviews) but it was not. We never had to wait long for anything... We decided last minute to pick up a bottle of wine at the Malama market on the way. They charged $8 for cork fee (it was screwtop). Anyway, gotta go. I'll add more later.
