The
world
food
travelers
stopped
off
at
Pint
&
Jigger
in
the
Ala
Moana
Hotel.
It
took
a
while
to
find
the
place
…
the
male
half
of
the
duo
doesn’t
ask
for
directions
and
the
better
half
was
given
erroneous
information.
It’s
in
the
Kona
Tower
of
the
hotel
on
the
ground
floor.
We
were
seated
at
the
left
end
of
the
main
room,
just
before
an
area
that
can
be
curtained
off
for
private
parties,
on
a
bar
seating.
The
drink
menu
(the
larger
of
the
two)
is
in
various
fonts
and
it
took
us
a
while
to
find
suitable
cocktails.
We
prefer
a
bottle
of
red
but
there
weren’t
any
on
the
menu
and
I
didn’t
ask.
So,
a
Moscow
Mule
for
the
lady
and
a
Hendricks
gin
&
tonic
for
me.
We
ordered
the
Brandy
and
Bacon
Strawberries,
Pan
Roasted
Brussel
Sprouts
and
the
Marrow
of
Bone
(2
bones)
to
start.
The
strawberry
dish
arrived
first
…
It
looked
like
dessert.
Pieces
of
strawberries
and
bacon
in
a
brandy
sauce
with
a
dollop
of
strawberry
mascarpone.
The
bacon
was
delicious!
The
pan
roasted
Brussel
sprouts
arrived
next
and
they
were
sweet
and
well
charred.
The
sauce
from
the
strawberry
dish
was
great
on
the
Brussel
sprouts.
The
bones
were
petite;
we’ve
had
larger
at
other
places
for
less
money.
They
were
accompanied
by
eight
pieces
of
toasted
baguette
with
shredded
pecorino
cheese
atop.
This
dish
was
fine
but
not
special.
Another
drink
was
followed
by
the
Whiskey
Flambéed
Mushrooms
and
the
Mesquite
BBQ
flavored
Waffle
Fries.
The
mushrooms
tasted
like
escargot;
we
liked
this
dish!
The
fries
tasted
exactly
like
BBQ
potato
chips.
I
never
use
ketchup
but
the
Mesquite
BBQ
powder
on
the
fries
made
the
ketchup
taste
like
BBQ
sauce.
We
topped
off
our
meal
with
the
Chocolate
Stout
Bread
Pudding.
It
came
with
pieces
of
candied
bacon
and
some
kind
of
clotted
cream
on
top.
I
don’t
like
bread
pudding
but
I
loved
this
one.
Final
thoughts
…
I
wish
we
had
a
larger
table
to
make
it
easier
to
place
our
food
and
drinks.
The
food
is
interesting
in
a
good
way.
My
least
favorite
dish
was
the
bone
marrow;
mainly
because
there
wasn’t
enough
marrow
in
the
petite
bones.
(I
only
needed
one
piece
of
toast.)
And,
I
wish
there
were
a
greater
selection
of
wines.
Yes,
the
name
should
have
told
me
what
kind
of
drinks
they
offer.
