This surf and turf Sunday dinner is a steal.
Kapolei Golf Club Restaurant, which boasts a spacious interior and panoramic golf course views, started its “Surf & Turf Sundays” a few weeks ago. This Sunday dinner experience features a three-course meal for $65 when you make reservations ($70 for walk-ins), and it’s served from 4 to 8 p.m. or until sold out.
“It’s to bring something new to the West side, like an elevated dining experience for families,” says Brent Yamate, director of food and beverage at Kapolei Golf Club. “Prime rib is something that’s very popular, but adding a seafood element, making it a full-course dinner and ending with Sage [Creamery] ice cream is a good combination.”
The three-course meal starts with your choice of soup or Caesar salad. During our visit, broccoli cheddar soup was featured. The creamy soup is thick, cheesy and comforting.
The main entrée features a 10-ounce prime rib, served with your choice of rice or mashed potatoes and broccolini. It’s served with au jus and horseradish.
Customers can choose from snow crab legs, a lobster tail or garlic and chimichurri shrimp. We’re told the snow crab legs — which features around three clusters — and shrimp (half-pound portion) are the most popular.
We thoroughly enjoyed the sweeter crab and the buttery lobster tail (4-ounce portion).
Dessert features a scoop of ice cream or sorbet from Sage Creamery. The flavors rotate, depending on the dessert shop’s flavors for the month, but we got a chance to try the mango sticky rice and Chocolate Chantilly.
While the mango sticky rice was tropical and refreshing, the Chocolate Chantilly is probably one of my new favorites. It’s made with Mānoa Chocolate and actual chunks of Chantilly, making the whole experience reminiscent of eating a Coco Puff, but in ice cream form.
Surf and turf dinners will be every Sunday for now at the golf club restaurant, but the schedule is subject to change, especially during the holidays. Follow the biz on Instagram for updates.
