Chef Mavro does not like to sit on his laurels. The maestro, who toques up amazingly subtle and exquisite grub at his posh eatery in a blue collar district of Honolulu, revamps his menu four times a year. That's pretty amazing for a guy a ton of accolades and a loyal local following in a restaurant town where patrons are highly resistant to change. To be sure, the seasonal menus do often contain items from past menus but even so, the top-to-bottom rotation is gutsy. His latest menu just busted out and it looks, as usual, like a real winner. My fave pick? Keahole Lobster a la coque with Kahuku corn cake with lobster coral, cucumber glazed with essence of mint, pomegranate-yogurt sauce. (Mavro also gives a nice commentary on the menu, as well) Bust out that wallet because its part of a "degustation" menu that will set you back $150 per person without wine.
