Quarter Bar
in Date Night
Looking for a quiet, relaxed place to grab a drink with your spouse or a tasty treat with your kids? Quarter Bar is the solution to both. Their friendly staff serves up great burgers. I personally love the Quarter Special - French Onion Soup and Grilled Cheese. When you are there be sure to try the Chips and Dip app. The dip is so good; I wanted to lick the bowl!
Our server brought us the Chips and Dip because there was supposed to be a wait before we could order from the kitchen. On that day, we happened to go out to eat at that weird time in-between lunch and dinner, and the staff was busy prepping the kitchen for dinner service. We didn't mind waiting; it gave us a chance to try out some of the adult beverages, and the kids were happy cause we took them by the bakery section to pick out a special treat. The kids chose a ginormous cinnamon roll while we tackled the drink menu. There's something for everyone here.
And much to our surprise, the kitchen actually went ahead and made our food even though we were told it would be another 30 minutes before the kitchen would be fired up again. While mom and dad would have to wait until next time to sample more drinks, the kids were happy to be leaving sooner. They were about to explode from mom and dad overload.
Tasting Hawaii
Just recently, I had the amazing opportunity to visit my favorite place in the whole, wide world... Hawaii! And while I wasn't as impressed with the awe and beauty of Oahu as compared to the Big Island or the busy lifestyle of the people there and their crazy amounts of traffic, the food surpassed my expectations. We tried everything from local recommendations to tourist traps to food trucks off the beaten path. Most had two things in common: best food ever and slowest service ever. Eating was not something you could accomplish quickly. It was an event that usually
