12th Avenue Grill - Kaimuki

We went to 12th Avenue Grill to celebrate my 3 years anniversary.

It has been a long time since I have been to 12th Avenue Grill and everything is just as I remembered it.  The great good, the warm ambiance, everything was on point, except the service wasn't as exceptional as it normally is.

12th Avenue Grill is a great restaurant, though there is a set menu, everyday 4-6 specials that are made from the fresh produce found at the market... So don't be afraid to try new things!

Food - 4.25 stars out of 5.

Service - 2.75 stars out of 5.

Entree - $18-$26

My favorite... Mac & Cheese - Don't forget to add the Black Forest Ham... :]]

Crispy exterior, creamy rich interior.  Classy yummy goodness that will leave you yearning for more!

Potato Croquette with some phenomenal cheese that I can't remember!














Asian Pear Salad - Phenomenal.  Light dressing, with bacon wrapped grilled pears... YUM

Beef Wellington - Oh so delicious, the puff pastry was flaky and the beef was oh so tender!

Grilled Chicken - The most mediocre thing out of an outstanding dinner.  Skin was slightly charred, but the mashed potato and the mushroom were very delish!

So, what you eat after, you say?  Dessert of course.  This was one of the highlights of dinner.  With 4 eager forks, needless to say, you snooze, you lose.

This is a fruit crisp with fresh creme, the fruit will vary, and today it was apple.  Completely appropriate as the last apple crisp we had (at The Counter) was a complete disappointment!  The inside was cold and the server made it seem like it was our fault... Anywho... This is surprisingly light, airy and delish.  You think you want to share... but don't...  :]
