To celebrate the 2021 Hale ‘Aina Awards, HONOLULU Magazine, along with presenting sponsors First Hawaiian Bank and Mastercard, has launched a series of collaborative dinners featuring unique menus that are only available for one night.

You’re invited to an exclusive evening on Thursday, July 29, hosted by none other than Kapa Hale, our 2021 Hale ‘Aina Gold winner for Best New Restaurant. Chef-owner Keaka Lee, who spent more than a decade cooking for award-winning restaurants such as Alan Wong, Gramercy Tavern in New York and The Pig & The Lady, now brings his own narrative and culinary flair to a modern-meets-tradition experience showcasing a cuisine that can only be found in today’s Hawai‘i.
