For Labor day we had a late dinner at Buzz's in Lanikai. For appetizers last night they had Alaskan crabcakes with fried onions. My husband, being from Alaska, claims it's just not the same when you aren't in Alaska and "it's probably imported from Thailand anyway." Yeah, that's what he said until he tried it. It wasn't the Baltimore crabcakes that I grew up with & love but the crab was really great and the other ingrediants weren't overpowering so you couldn't appreciate the Alaskan crab. It was really great.
Our waitress sadly left a lot to be desired on her recommendations for wine, after recommending me three wines with little insight she apparently lacked the faith in those recommendations enough that she brought me the shiraz I was originally going to order. The Milton park, which is hiding at the bottom of the wine menu, is a great pick and considering the price well worth it.
The salad bar, which is $10.95 per person, has a seaweed salad, a red bean salad, and the basics. The spinach was a little wilty and the dressing looked like it had been there for a minute so I stuck to basics with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, sprouts and some cottage cheese. My husband, again, with the food snobbery skipped the salad bar.
Due to my being a light eater we opted for the NY steak with two plates of mashed potatoes & broccoli. The steak was cooked perfectly for a medium. This made up for an iffy salad bar & a waitress who hadn't the foggiest about wine.
The dessert tray was pretty much enough for you to want to be a fat kid for life. We split a piece of chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. It was brilliant.
Will definitely go back again, and I can't wait for another piece of that peanut butter pie.
