Excellent service at Kapa Hale! Our host was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and patient with all of our questions. He was also able to recommend drinks after asking about taste pallet. The four of us hadn't eaten here before so we basically wanted to try everything. (And it was fun ordering the punny named dishes!) We ordered several starters: corn bread, naan/curry, octopus, and the special. Of these the "corny bread" was preferred. The naan in "naan ya business" was delish but the curry sauce didn't impress. We didn't taste the special, I can't remember what it was supposed to be now, because zucchini jun came out. The entrées were so filling because they're so rich. So, though you might see small plates in the guests' pictures, keep that in mind. We ordered the special (a porridge with shredded hamhock), two pastas (one comes with pork, the order does not, but noodles are housemade), and the steak. The porridge was tasty and super rich, especially with that salty hock and after eating all those apps. The "pappardelle alla pork guisantes" was okay. My entrée was the "agnolotti alla funghi" and it was de-licious. The "Koji aged boeuf" a 12oz steak was hands down melt in your mouth wonderful. It was enough to share and, fortunately, take home extra. We were stuffed but why not try dessert? We swooned over the oreo/coffee/chocolate pie (middle of the three menu options). (I had water so can't comment on non/alcoholic drinks, but my friends enjoyed them!) Overall, yes! Visit this place, try the rotating specials and definitely the steak. The service is top-notch and chef definitely creative.
