Red Water Café

$$$

Chef David Abrahams serves upscale café fare with a twist and a side of aloha. Although it opens fairly early (at 2 pm Tuesday–Friday, noon on Saturday), there's only a single, all-day menu, and this place is busy, so reserve ahead. Sushi is an option; the Fuji roll is prepared tempura style, and sashimi is served with organic greens. The rack of ribs is a sure bet, as is the shrimp seafood cocktail. This café is popular among locals and is a nice spot for the whole family—Abrahams's young daughter developed the kids' menu.
