Olive Tree Cafe Honolulu, HI

It's a charming corner along Kilauea Avenue near Kahala Mall; the parking is limited but that has not stopped area residents and workers for making this casual café a cornerstone. Order at the counter and find a table inside, or in the cooler evening hours the outdoor patio becomes popular with those who like to bring their favorite bottle of wine and linger with friends and conversation. The menu offers several wonderful salads, robust and full of flavor, and a selection of souvlaki that includes lamb, fish, or chicken versions. Prices are very reasonable and the service is friendly. - Lottie Tagupa
