While concerts ensue across the street at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center Arena, husband-wife team Michelle Karr-Ueoka and Wade Ueoka emerge above the noise strumming sweet symphonies on porcelain plates with local ingredient instruments. Located in the Symphony Honolulu building, the magnetic “intuition” Karr-Ueoka felt upon entering this soon-to-be-hers-and-his restaurant was right on the money. MW’s Pacific Rim cuisine—in other words: the harmonious cacophony that is Hawaiian fusion food—crusts kampachi in mochi for a house favorite and bouillabaisses Kona-, Kauai-, and Bristol Bay-sea dwellers for a brothy bounty in the Seafood Paella. Whether you choose the five-course tasting menu or decide to pave your own way, the cocktails are not to be missed. This team seems to have a knack for doing just that with ingredients of familiarity and not, resulting in daily menu changes introducing new full of potential bites that make loyal follower after loyal follower.
