808

Aloha

Thom Wise

Many descriptors get bandied about when trying to find an accurate way to encapsulate 808. Is it Euro-Pacific, contemporary Asian or New Wave Bento? Perhaps it takes an entirely new language: How does Wavy Hawaiian sound? (808 is the area code for Hawaii, in case you missed that nuance.) The strength of 808 lies in its ability to defy pigeonholes. There's a smattering of Thai, with hints of China and a healthy dose of Hawaiian-with seafood as the centerpiece-all presented in an elegant jewel box infused with hints of copper and floating orchids. The service goes above and beyond, as the staff always seeks to please you with any special request your little heart requires, to wherever your imagination goes.
