Hiroshi - Lunch for a Day.

Hiroshi Eurasion Tapas, the Japanese-inspired regional cuisine restaurant run by chef Hiroshi Fukui, will offer a special menu from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 23 to celebrate Administrative Professionals Day. It’s a great opportunity to check out Fukui’s original and highly creative cuisine, and a rare chance to eat at the restaurant during the day. And look for a spring kaiseki from Fukui coming soon. Three times a year he creates 10 completely new menu items and offers them kaiseki-style for one evening. Always a sell-out, so be sure to book early.

Ruth’s Chris Opens for Lunch Three Days in April.

Such is the demand for a top table at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Restaurant Row that they’ve decided to open for three days (April 23-25)to celebrate Administrative Professionals Day. Whether you have an administrative professional or not, sneak a peek at the lunch menu and then go treat yourself.

According to Asam, both a la carte and complete menu options are being offered to accommodate reservations of all sizes, including those for the private rooms at Ruth’s Chris.

Appetizers will include Ruth’s Chris signature dishes like barbecued shrimp, steaks and famous side dishes, and there are also additions to the menu by executive chef

Kyle Yonashiro, including Onion Soup au Gratin, Veal Osso Buco Ravioli with sautéed spinach, Lobster Bisque, Seared Ahi Sashimi and Mushrooms Stuffed with Crabmeat. For lighter lunchers, salads include Caesar, Seared Ahi Tuna, Grilled Tenderloin with asparagus, Chilled Shellfish or the restaurant’s signature Steak House Salad.

Celebrating Italian Fare at Sergio’s.

One of the first things Alfredo Lee decided to do when he took over the executive chef position at Sergio’s Italian Restaurant last year was to bring the flavors of Italy to Hawaii in a unique way. Lee, who was born in Tuscany, has had experience working in almost all of the culinary regions of Italy, and at Sergio’s, a monthly menu showcases a different region each month. April showcases perhaps the most famous food region of all - the flavors of Emilia Romagna. In addition to the regular menu, look for specials that include Pasta e Fagioli con Maltagliati ($8), where borlotti beans, prosciutto, carrots, celery, tomatoes and onions are gently tossed with freshly made pasta;or Tortelli Di Ricotta E Spinaci ($26), where homemade butternut squash pasta is filled with ricotta cheese, mascarpone cream, spinach and Parmesan cheese. There’s also a pan-seared New York steak topped with green peppercorn sauce and served with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach ($41) on the menu. The region’s famous Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, balsamic vinegar and prosciutto di Parma are all featured on the April menu.

“We want to introduce an authentic taste of Italy’s regions,” says Lee of the dinners, which are featured for just 14 days each month.

Dinner is served nightly from 5 to 10 p.m.
