As the time comes to honor the MVPs of the workplace and household, Pomaika‘i Ballrooms serves as the ideal setting for Administrative Professionals Day and Mother’s Day celebrations.
Situated conveniently on the second floor of Dole Cannery in Iwilei, Pomaika‘i Ballrooms offers elegance and style along with a warm, inviting atmosphere without the stress of fighting traffic into and out of Waikiki.
On Wednesday, April 27, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Pomaika‘i Ballrooms will host its highly anticipated Administrative Professionals Day luncheon for $45 per person ($3 validated parking available). The special event includes entertainment from Leo Days, who will pay tribute to Elvis Presley, and a menu featuring local flavors and Pacific Rim cuisine crafted by executive chef Freddie Billena and sous chef Eddy Ayau.
Reservations can be made by calling 695-4496; the last day to hold and pay for seats at this popular event is Monday, April 25.
The flavorful buffet will feature an array of entree choices: Chicken Puttanesca with tomatoes, potatoes, olives, capers and garlic; Steamed Hoki Oriental Style with ginger, cilantro and sesame oil; and Braised Boneless Short Ribs with Cabernet Sauce. Popular Elvis-inspired desserts also will grace the bountiful buffet, along with diners’ choice of brewed coffee, Harney and Sons hot tea and Mango Breeze iced tea.
