BEST FINE DINING
Pacific’O
This place grabs the Triple Crown of fine dining: Romance, extravagance and high prices. Everything about Pacific’O is elegant. Built right on the beach, diners in this intimate establishment can watch the water turn bronze as the sun sets behind Lanai. The servers and bartenders are classy and helpful, and even the food seems too pretty to eat—the Blackened Ahi Tower, Olowalu Tomato Stack and the Pasta Exotica are so artistic it seems a shame to dig in. Of course, all this culinary wonder comes at a price. The exceptional Bananarama entrée—fish seared with a chili lime panko crust and topped with a macadamia-banana hollandaise and rum-flambéed bananas—will set you back $29, and it’s not even the most expensive dish. So you only go now and then. After all, you don’t want to get bored with the finest things. 505 Front St., Lahaina, 667-4341. [AP]
