From grand gourmet to tasting menus and vegan
By Patti Pietschmann, unabashed Chef Mavro fan
So one of my favorite chefs, George Mavro owner/chief 'cook' of his eponymous Oahu restarant, sends out seasonal emails. His summer edition talks about the popularity of both his tasting menu and grand gourmet offering, " Wow. It's been a crazy month and a half but mahalo for making our small plate menu so successful! Also, to my surprise, since we started a few weeks ago with the option of our small plates menu OR our Grand Degustation Menu, there are also many of you who choose the grand degustation menu. I know that from the opening you come to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasion. But I also listened when you say you'd like to come more often for casual bites. This is why we split the dining room in two so we can accommodate all your occasions."
