One of my favorite restaurants on the island is
Mina's Fish House at the Four Seasons Oahu, where Chef Michael Mina initiated the concept of the Fish Sommelier.

On Friday, the media was invited to A Night with Michael Mina, where guests indulged in a thoughtfully-crafted tasting menu highlighting local seafood and dishes with internationally-inspired elements.
 |
| Sesame Sweet Soy Poke |
 |
| Burrata & Stone Fruit |
 |
| Bacon-Wrapped Scallops |
 |
| Kataifi-Wrapped Kauai Prawns |
Several dishes were served family-style - the poke, burrata, scallops, and prawns. I thought the poke was seasoned perfectly, with a harmonious blend of sweet, savory, salty, and spicy components.
Everyone commented on just how enormous the burrata was. It was creamy, and indulgent, and I couldn't stop eating it with the pita croutons.
I love scallops and I love bacon, and together they are great match!
The kataifi offered a delicate, yet crunchy contrast to the tender prawns.

| Kona Lobster Agnolotti |
Everyone could choose their own entree, and I chose the agnolotti. I loved the stuffed pasta, and I would've been happy with just the pasta, but the addition of the lobster, Parmesan, and truffle really elevated the dish, adding levels of umami.

The tasting menu ended with two delightful desserts. The shave ice was so refreshing, and the Chocolate Caramel Crunch was reminiscent of a nostalgic candy bar - so delicious!

At the end of the night, we were gifted with a copy of his most recent cookbook, My Egypt, which dives into Chef Michael's roots.
Although this special event was one-night only, the daily dinner menu still offers guests amazing line-to-table delicacies and signature seafood dishes.
