Best Eats/Drinks: The Big Island


Our first meal on the Big Island was a place called Da Poke Shack, which Jeff and Kim took us to.  An unassuming shack, take out only, located in a neighborhood near their home.  Poke is delicious, cubed, ahi sashimi, marinated in oil with all sorts of ingredients. This place also serves  Kalula pork,  Luau chicken which are equally as good.  Coupled with some Kona Brewing company beer made for a meal we will be salivating over until our next trip to Hawaii.

Speaking of Kona Brewing Co ever since hearing about this place from ironman friends, I've been dying to try.  We ate more than our fair share of pizza here, but the best part was the beer flights.  Kona Brewing Co distrubes a few beers nationwide, but sadly not my favorites: Wailua Wheat


Finally, our last fancy dinner at Ulu Ocean Grill at The Four Seasons.  Wow.  We spent valentines night there.  Our table was as close to the ocean as possible, making for perfect sunset viewing.  Cocktail menu was on an Ipad each table could scroll through. 
Poke was made table side as an appetizer. The entrees and deserts did not disappoint. 
A perfect end to a perfect honeymoon and our first valentines day as husband and wife.
