Participating are 12th Avenue Grill, A Taste of New York, JJ Bistro & French Pastry, Baci Bistro, Boots & Kimo's Homestyle Kitchen, Cinnamon's, Brasserie du Vin, Soul de Cuba Café, Chai's Island Bistro, Dee Thai, India Cafe, Diamond Head Market and Grill, Hapa Grill, Le Guignol, Spices, Los Chaparros and the Wedding Cafe, Ben & Jerry's and Big City Diner at Ward Centre.
If you'd rather stay home, the Life Foundation has ribbons and invitations you can use to throw a "Dine-In" party, or bid on cooking lessons and restaurant certificates at www.oahudines.org.
Call 521-2437, ext. 250.
