Black Angus Steak House (Cattle Company)-Pearl City
We recently had lunch at Black Angus Steak House (Cattle Company) in Pearl City.
The complimentary bread, which DS2 just loves.
DH ordered the Steakhouse Bacon Cheeseburger.
I ordered the Chicken, Avocado, and Bacon Sandwich. I usually always order this at Cattle Company. And it was good, as usual.
DS1 ordered the Kids Cheese Pizza. He loved it--he ate the entire thing!
DS2 had the Kids Chicken Strips.
I love their chicken strips because it's panko-crusted (yes, I snuck a few bites).
The kids meals come with oranges and a side, as well as dessert (drinks are $.99 with free refills).
The boys got to enjoy some ice cream for dessert (the server asked if we wanted it with hot fudge sauce and I told her no--I knew it would get too messy and the boys would be happy with vanilla ice cream as is).
Overall, the food was good, and the service was okay. Our server was nice, but the service was slow, and once she took my credit card to take care of the bill, it took OVER TEN MINUTES for me to get the card and receipt back.
There's always coupons in the Sunday inserts or in Valpak or in the Entertainment Book (we used a $5 of $20 coupon from the Entertainment book on this visit) so there are many opportunities to save money at Cattle Company.
Ultimately we had a nice lunch and we were all satisfied with our meals!

Maru-Hi Restaurant & Lounge
I recently met a couple of friends at Maru-Hi Restaurant & Lounge in the Mililani Town Center.
This was only the second time I've ever been there.
There was a special for the evening which I ended up ordering (another friend also ordered it), which consisted of Mochiko Chicken (or you could have ordered some kind of beef instead), Tempura, and Gyoza.
First the Miso Soup came.
It was good, but they didn't give very much.
Next was the special that I ordered.
Overall the meal was not bad. Everything tasted pretty good, but I've had better mochiko chicken elsewhere.
Another friend ordered the Teriyaki Chicken. It came out sizzling!

Overall the food itself was fine.
The service, however, was a bit lacking. There was only one server and the restaurant was over half-full.
Despite that, I had a really nice dinner and I think the next time I'd order something other than mochiko chicken.

California Pizza Kitchen - Aiea
We recently dined at California Pizza Kitchen in Aiea.
We never ordered an appetizer from CPK before, but I wanted to try one, so we ordered the Avocado Club Egg Rolls.
It was really, really good. I think just about anything with avocado and bacon is good!
DS2 had the Kids Pepperoni Pizza.
He hardly ate any of it only because he ate so much bread (not pictured) since he was super hungry by the time we got to CPK, but he did eat the leftovers for dinner.
I ordered my "usual" - BBQ Chicken with Applewood Smoked Bacon Pizza, and it was good, as usual.
DH tried the new Habaneros Carnitas Pizza.
The spicy habanero salsa came on the side, and he said it was pretty spicy, and overall he really liked the pizza.
As usual, we had excellent service, although it did take a lot longer than usual for us to get our food.
It was pretty busy, and I really didn't mind the wait, but the manager ended up offering us free dessert because of the wait.
Who am I to pass up free dessert???
I ended up getting the Red Velvet Cake.
YUM!
It was moist and delicious!
Despite the wait, it was another great dining experience at CPK!
