RUMFIRE
My husband and I have a monthly Sunday tradition of walking from Kapiolani Park into Waikiki, and one of our favorite spots for a sunset and cocktails is RumFire at the Sheraton Waikiki.
With a simply stunning view, refreshing libations and delectable pupu, what’s not to like? My husband enjoys the High Maka Mai Tai -tangy, gingery but potent. I stick to my glass of pinot gris.
Favorite pupu (at great happy hour prices) include Yukon French Fries (seriously the best fries I have had in Hawaii); Market-Fresh Fish Tacos (so moist); Truffle Slider Burgers; “Angry” Mac and Cheese (you have got to try this!); and the Ho Farms Tomato Medley.
Best of all, RumFire supports our opening nights at Diamond Head Theatre so I get to have their fabulous food more often than just on my Sunday strolls!
