FUUD: Azul at Ko Olina

If you think there’s no place to eat on Oahu’s West Side, 1) you haven’t been there lately and 2) you certainly haven’t been to Azul at the Ihilani.
This award-winning signature restaurant on the property of JW Marriott’s luxurious resort at Ko Olina employs a farm-to-table approach to fine dining. Vegetables are locally sourced (and often organic) from nearby Mao Organic Farms and others in Waimanalo. Fish are selected from day boats and short-trip long-line boats from Honolulu, Kauai and the Big Island. And all of the beef on the menu are organic and hormone-free.
And did I mention the extensive wine list, with more than 250 labels from all over the world?
Here’s what we ate on a recent trip to Azul:
