Our group loved Side St. Inn on Kapahulu. We had Colin's Classic and it was delicious and a lot of food. I wish that Side St. Inn would be open for lunch on weekdays too. Thank you to Chris, who helped with the reservations, Aunty Josie, who answered a lot of my questions; and Chad our efficient server. The food was served so fast.
