Two Island Eggs “Any Style” ($24)
Patrons of La Vie are living large on the delicious breakfast selections available at the restaurant. La Vie, which means “the life” in French, welcomes local residents and visitors to the eighth floor of the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach. Among its perks, the restaurant offers complimentary validated valet parking.
Handling the reins at the new French-inspired establishment that opened Aug. 1 is the talented trio of general manager Dusty Grable, executive chef Shaymus Alwin and chef de cuisine Patrick Collins.
Farmer’s Omelet ($21)
Among the indulgent breakfast choices offered at La Vie are the Banana Foster’s Waffles ($15). It features the flavor of caramelized local apple-banana and chantilly creme toppings.
Another sweet-treat is the Buttermilk Pancakes & Lilikoi ($17). These are additionally doused with some delightful strawberry balsamic and maple syrup.
