Interesting, I am been to many of these over the years and generally agree they are are great.

Mama Fish House, I know some don't care for it, but our food and service has been great.
Dukes Waikiki, we have also been to the Maui and southern Cal locations.
La Mer, the food was great, not sure it was worth the money, but someone else picked it
MonkeyPod, been to a few, our service was off last week in Ko Olina
Roys, been to a few but not the Hawaii Kai location
Tin Roof Maui, great food and a must stop location for us now. Wish they had more seating.

I wasn't all that impressed with the food there. However, the service was by far the best I have ever experienced at any restaurant. But still not enough that I would spend that kind of money again unless the food were much better though.

Any list that doesn't include Marugame Udon is flawed. That place is so popular people will wait in line for hours to order.

I have eaten at a few of them on. Its unfortunate most are on Oahu. I don't see myself going to that island anytime soon.
