Sigh, Nobu Restaurant: if only we were able to dine with you and indulge in your delicious cuisine without feeling our wallets go empty while our stomachs filled up.

Oh wait! Now we have another option.

Nobu Waikiki (inside the Waikiki Parc Hotel) has just launched a "European-style pre-dinner feature" called Apertivo to be served in the Lounge at Nobu:

Among his 21 globally-based restaurants, Chef Nobu has hand-selected Nobu Milano and Nobu Waikiki to celebrate this sophisticated pre-meal European-dining tradition. Available Monday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m., Aperitivo will feature a tasting trio of the chef's selections of the day, served with a choice of a Nobu cocktail.

The price? $18 per person. Score.

So now you can say you dined at Nobu and nobody ever needs to know you just popped in for a little taste before dinner -- and, by the way, we were there a few weeks ago and the food was damn good.

Nobu opened inside the Waikiki Parc Hotel, a poor but not inelegant sister to the Halekulani, in June of 2007. Yet unlike the other Nobus across America, the food at this outpost got tepid reviews from local writers.

When I asked a friend who works there what the deal was, she told to me the chef was still feeling out the local purveyors and had not really localized the menu.

The restaurant had done well with tourists but locals took a lot longer to come around. So I waited and waited. And finally dove in two weeks ago. Verdict? Damn, that food is good.
