Kimo's Restaurant - Lahaina, Maui Restaurant T S Restaurants Home | California Restaurants | Hawaii Restaurants | Guest Comments | Restaurant Photo Gallery About T S Restaurants | Restaurant Maps & Directions | Buy T S Sportswear | Contact Us ©2005 T S Restaurants of Hawaii & California ~ Hawaii Restaurants ~ California Restaurants Kimo's A Lahaina Landmark The very first T S Restaurant, Kimo's opened along Lahaina Town's historic waterfront in the spring of 1977. The restaurant and bar has since become a Lahaina landmark, featuring an oceanfront setting, reasonably-priced cuisine, the original Hula Pie, and spectacular sunset views. Located at 845 Front Street, Kimo's captures a unique mix of Lahaina's heritage in its decor. The upstairs main dining room reflects the architectural influence of New England on the former whaling port, with koa-lined walls, missionary-style furnishings, and maritime memorabilia. The downstairs waterfront lanai and bar offers a more Hawaiian-style ambiance, with teak tables and chairs, umbrellas, swaying palms and a mast complete with maritime flags. Voted "Best Meal on Maui" by Honolulu Advetiser readers and "Best Bar" by Maui News readers, Kimo's continues to be a favorite of residents and visitors alike. The menu features fresh Hawaiian fish, seafood, prime rib and island favorites. Cocktails and a lighter menu are served on the lower lanai. Offering stunning sunset views of the islands of Lanai and Molokai, Kimo's also features nightly entertainment. It is a must when in Lahaina, making your Maui vacation complete.

If you are already a registered Content Tycoon user: Hawaii (The big Island) - A City Guide Author: Nivedita Balamurugan Introduction There's no place on earth quite like this handful of sun-drenched, mid-Pacific islands. The Hawaii of South Seas literature and Hollywood films really does exist. Here one will find palm-fringed blue lagoons, lush rainforests, hidden gardens, cascading waterfalls, wild rivers running through rugged canyons, and soaring volcanoes. And those beaches -- gold, red, black, and even green sands caressed by endless surf - a perfect place for spending holidays. History After a series of battles that ended in 1795 and peaceful cession of the island of Kauai in 1810, the Hawaiian Islands were united for the first time under a single ruler who would become known as King Kamehameha the Great. He established the House of Kamehameha, a dynasty that ruled over the kingdom until 1872. One of the most important events during those years was the suppression of the Hawaii Catholic Church. The Newlands Resolution was passed on July 7, 1898, formally annexing Hawaii as a United States territory. In 1900, it was granted self-governance and retained Iolani Palace as the territorial capitol building. In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. On June 27 of that year, a plebiscite was held asking residents of Hawaii to vote on accepting the statehood bill. After statehood, Hawaii quickly became a modern state with a construction boom and rapidly growing economy. Place of interest It will not be a small list if anyone tries to make a list of all tourist attractions. The partial list should be look like this: "Akaka Falls, "Captain Dan McSweeney's Year-Round Whale-Watching Adventures "Captain Zodiac, "Ellison S. Onizuka Space Center, "Fair Wind Snorkeling and Diving Adventures, "Hapuna Golf Course, "Mauna Lani Frances I'i Brown Championship Courses, "Pololu Valley Lookout, "Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, "World Botanical Garden. Museums & Art Galleries Some of the major museums are "East Hawaii Cultural Center "Hulihee Palace Museum "Jaggar Museum "Kamuela Museum "Kona Historical Society "Lyman House Memorial Museum "Mokupapapa: Discovery Center For Hawaii's Remote Coral Reefs "Pacific Tsunami Museum "Parker Ranch Museum are some of the museums in Big Island. Hawaii's Big Island has a number of art gallery and cultural centers. Among them: "Hawaiian Art Network "Dreams Of Paradise "Gallery Of Great Things "Holualoa Gallery "Spirit Art Studio "Volcano Garden Arts are some to mention about. Shopping Hawaii Big Island hosts open market places with hundreds of merchants selling their hand crafted items under the open sky. These market places are one of the main tourist attractions here. Alii Gardens Marketplace, Long Ears Coffee Company, Kuaiwi Farm, Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation, Akatsuka Orchid Gardens, Anthuriums Of Hawaii, Hawaii Greenhouse Inc., Panaewa Hawaiian Homelands Farmers Market, Volcano Farmers Market are some of the famous marketplaces. Besides these market places shopping malls and individual shops are there in Hawaii Big Island. Hilo Hattie - The Store of Hawaii, Hilo Shopping Center, Keauhou Shopping Center, King's Shops, Kona Coast Shopping Center, Lanihau Center are some shopping centers in Hawaii Big Island. Food & Drink So many restaurants, so little time for a traveler when it comes the time to wine and dine in Big Island. The Big Island's delicious dilemma is its daunting size and abundant offerings of its own cuisine. Shaka Restaurant, Anthony's Bistro & Bar, Charley's Bar & Grill, Grand Palace, Ting Hao, Bamboo Restaurant, Hualalai Grille By Alan Wong, Merriman's, Aloha Angel Café, Big Island Grill are some of the great places for wine and dine. Except these restaurants and bars, Hawaii Big Island has a lot to offer to satisfy everyone's taste bud.
