Downtown @ the HiSAM

I have been here about 5 times over the last two or three months and I must say that I have not been disappointed.  For the most part, I usually get takeout from the ASAP! counter upfront, but eating in the dining area on a Saturday afternoon was a pleasant experience as well.  I wish they would allow dining outside so I could work on my tan at the same time.

The spacious dining area.

I thought I would be able to check this place during this trip home, but I guess it'll have to wait until the next! Looks ono!

That seared ahi club sandwich looks a little too small. I think I would need about 3-4 of those to fill up. But definitely looks like a cool place to check out.

Reid, I think lunch at Downtown is better quality than the original Town in Kaimuki. I wish they were open for dinner, but no such luck.

Equipment


  • Canoneos5d
    Canon EOS 5D

    Most of the newer photos on this site are being taken by this camera. I'm still learning how to use it, but I think the photos it takes are amazing. Though the lens I use often varies, many of the photos on this site are taken with a Canon EF 35mm f2.0 lens.


  • Dscu40r
    Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-U40

    A majority of the photos on this site were shot using this little camera. It was compact and discreet -- excellent for taking photos under most conditions. Sadly, it has recently died.
