Romano’s Macaroni Grill Waikoloa starts breakfast service

Hawaii Island residents and visitors staying in the Kona and Kohala Coast areas have another option for a great breakfast.  Romano’s Macaroni Grill in Waikoloa recently began offering a menu of signature breakfast items daily from 8:00am until 11:00am.  The restaurant is responding to a growing demand in the area for a quality breakfast at a reasonable price.

The new menu features a variety of items, including two versions of Chef Shane Torres’ Italian twist on scrambled eggs and 3 variations on the frittata, which is a classic Italian open-faced omelet. Breakfast standards like steak and eggs, French toast, and yogurt & granola will also be offered, as well as a list of specialty breakfast cocktails.  And, of course, it’s not breakfast in Hawaii without a side order of Spam!

Romano’s Macaroni Grill is conveniently located at the Queens’ Marketplace – 201 Waikoloa Beach Drive in Waikoloa with ample onsite parking.

2nd Annual Filipino Film Fesitival

Hawaii is a melting pot of many different ethnicities and Filipinos are one of the groups that continue to grow in numbers.  Originally emigrating to work on the sugar plantations, many are still coming to Hawaii seeking a better life.

Targeting this group, The Doris Duke Theatre is hosting the 2ND ANNUAL FILIPINO FILM FESTIVAL – sponsored by the Philippine Medical Association of Hawaii.  Of course, you don’t need to speak and understand the language or be of Filipino ancestry to enjoy these great films ... they're subtitled.
